Mental health is something very important to which we give too little importance. The pandemic has increased mental illness exponentially.

The pandemic has been very hard for everyone, and as a result of this and other situations like stress or work pressure, there are more people with mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety. It is therefore very important to ask for help, normalize the situation, and go to a psychologist. There should also be a change at the legislative level, as many people cannot afford to pay a psychologist and therefore are not treated.

Going to a psychologist should be a right, not a privilege.

Urgent Call to Protect Our Environment

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to address a significant issue: our environment is being damaged every day. If we take collective action, we can ensure a cleaner planet for everyone.

• Recycle all waste effectively.
• Reduce driving by choosing to walk or cycle, which prevents air pollution.
• Avoid smoking to protect
