With Mental health issues many people choose to hide and feel poor constantly without seeking help. If this raises awareness then I am all for it. The struggle to perform with mental health issues in a top five program can be overwhelming I imagine Good luck to those who come forward and fight against whatever issues they may have
But I do ask myself after reading the article how do you get 69.7% of the people out of 100?

You don’t. You get 697 out of 1000.

That's hilarious. Actually, doing #6 probably covers half her list. :D Especially when there is a thread "so fans, what is your opinion of Lexi Sun?"

I genuinely can't remember ever reading a negative comment on here about Ebony, actually. Everything I can remember has been praise. Who is the USC player she mentions that committed suicide? I don't remember a Kiara at USC. How sad and awful. That's hilarious. Actually, doing #6 probably covers half her list. Kiara Wright. She transferred to FSU, from which she graduated. Yes, sad and awful, though those words probably don't even begin to describe how much.

I remember when she caused a bizarre scene at the 2014 Mountreux Volley Masters. During a rally she seamed to get hurt, her teammates gathered around her to see what happened but she refused to talk with anyone, she wanted to keep going but then she kinda started crying and still would not say a word and everyone was looking at each other and wondering what that heck was going on.
That was something really immature of her, if you get hurt you must communicate with the coaches and medical staff and let them know what`s going on, but at the same time I felt bad for her because I could tell it was more of a mental thing and I can totally relate to that.

Um... you know she broke her BACK, right? That injury at Montreaux was a vertebral fracture. I’m not surprised she didn’t know what to do. She was a freshman in college and the only college student playing with Team USA on that roster. I’m sure the pressure was insane, and she didn’t want to make a scene or let anyone down or look weak. No shock she wants to avoid VT.

Yes, that is exactly what happened, she was so young and felt the pressure of the opportunity she was getting and did not want to let anyone down even though injuries is part of the sport. I know a lot of people judge KK because they think he should get more college girls on team USA, but I think that is one of the reasons why he don`t do it, he prefers to wait until they are more mature and ready for it.

My goodness it sounds like it may have been a mental thing. Perhaps she just needed that moment. I can see how it can be viewed as immature too but I think that one cannot underestimate the tremendous amount of stress these young athletes have on them and perhaps the maturity to grasp it all is just outside their reach at times. Either way what a brave young lady to put it all out there.

I understand that mental health issues should be dealt with care and importance but a question comes to mind:
People in America are BLESSED and yet people have mental issues? If you have running water, electricity 24/7, roof over your head, food that you can buy for $1, why commit suicide? If someone needs to escape a certain area, there are no rebels who will attack you on route like what happens in some countries. You can simply take a bus. So why commit suicide when you have so much compared to many countries around the world?
Again I don't mean to sound pessimistic but just a question I need an answer to.

Ignorance regarding mental health does not equate to pessimism. It’s simply ignorance.

This has to be by far the most ignorant thing ive ever read on this site, and that says alot. Your severe lack of understanding and empathy towards mental health is really concerning. If you think that just because we can live of comfortable life when it comes to materealistic things, that our societys mental health should be ok, you should really take a basic psychology class

People in America with running water, electricity 24/7, roof over your head, food that you can buy for $1, why do they get sick? How come they catch a cold, or cancer, or depression? Who would choose that? It's not a choice, it's an illness that prevents seeing the options. Read up, there are plenty of places to get your answers. Literally google just about any relevant sounding phrase and start reading.

She mentions the death of a friend and former teammate and is very transparent about dealing with issues surrounding her mental health. I can see why she wouldn't want to go on volleytalk with posts that prescribe her as "immature" and "making a bizzare scene". Not to mention the one attributing her mental health to just her whining.
Hearing her words makes it clear that words have power and I personally will adjust how I speak about individual Florida players.
