Is it My Fault? | Kennedy Brooks | TEDxBransonJuniorHigh


imagine us you a soldier fighting for

your country walking in a third-world

country as your daily look but something

seems a little bit different about to

say than all the rest of the days you

and your fellow soldier pause for a

moment thinking what could be different

about this day and then boom a bomb go

off you freak out as you see thousands

and thousands of people running to

safety and another room complements your

ears begin to ring you freak out you

look around you don’t see the your

fellow soldier anymore you don’t know

what to do and then you look down he’s

dead but you know that you have to leave

him behind my country this was war not a

video game a movie this was your life

and your current reality thankfully that

was just a night terror nightmares are

many symptoms of PTSD and for all of you

guys who don’t know what that is

PLC is post-traumatic stress disorder

and that’s what my dad hats and that’s

my dad is in the crowd today and so he

knows I’m talking about this PTSD has

affected my life because mines around

eighty eight or seven I thought I like

how no clue that my dad has PTSD at all

so I

it was all my fault that I could grasp

his attention I didn’t see him cry when

deaths of our loved ones happened he

didn’t do any of that I thought it was

because of me like he didn’t want me was

it my fault

but soon after I learned that it wasn’t

me and that I felt much better about

myself I became more confident but there

are my faith and many other things and

that has made me the person I am today

but what many you guys can learn from

PTSD is when someone has it you can’t

see it it’s not curable so they’re going

to have it for all of their life but

something that you can learn from it is

that it does not have a gender a look a

color or an age so anyone can have it

and what you can do to them is be kind

to them actually be kind to everyone

because you never know the battle they could be facing thank you
