How has Anime or Manga helped you?
For me, Anime and manga has helped me in so many ways. When I was younger about 15/16 year old I use to think anime was "Lame" and "Nerdy" because that's what a lot of my "friends" often told me. I went through a phase of trying to be something I wasn't, I was the nerdy passive girl I wanted to be popular like my friends and other girls I saw in school. So I changed my looks, I changed my hobbies my interests to seem more "appealing" and "likable". I wanted boys to like me so I changed my style, my clothing became shorter and tighter. Long story short I went down a rough road in life, traumatic things happened, completely lost, I felt helpless battled depression countless of times. But once I got back into Anime and Manga, Drawing art & getting back into my ways of getting interested in computers and all my nerdy ways things started to change (You can guess for the better!) I spent more alone time than I ever had in my life, but I didn't hate it. I learned so much about myself, I watched so much anime and could relate with so many characters, got lessons out of Anime & Manga I honestly would have never believed could happen when I was 15 years old.
Now after so many physiological Anime and manga I have read I have decided to major in Psychology to be able to help others like me, and hopefully lead them through that dark tunnel and bring them to light. I especially want to go to different schools over the U.S and talk about why mental health is so important and educate those uneducated about the topic so I can hopefully make a difference in schools, and everyday life for those who suffer from mental illnesses. Just to be able to help someone would make me so very happy. SO if anyone asks me "Do you watch Anime?" I will say with so much confidence "Fu**k yeah!"(づ￣ ³￣)づ

Well instead of anime in general, it was actually just a single anime that helped turn my entire life around. A few years back during the summer, I was in a really dark place. I had moved away from all my friends, I never left outside, I didn't know anyone, and I was just all around depressed. Then that same summer, while chatting with my friend fr...... 2 reply

Sometimes you have to face your worries and problems and sometimes they are too huge and horrifying and you can't do it alone. In order not to break, you need something to take away your mind off them, until someone helps you or something like that. That's what books and sometimes manga were for me. I needed not to think constantly how my life was ...... reply
I won't go as far as saying that it saved my life but I discovered one piece when I was around 12,it was when my parents began their divorce. Since I was young it was really hard for me you know seeing the image of the perfect family falling apart like if it never happened. Japan and even more OP were like an outlet for me to forget everything. Eve...... reply
To be honest discovering manga and anime have saved me. Without it i'd probably had gave up on life entirely, I would of ignored the outside world and never truly feeling like I fitted in. Then I came to understand how anime the stories plot the quotes drawed me in and made the world seem brighter than before. Without it I would of literally ruined...... reply
