Lost In Silence | Regina Burgos Landa | TEDxLas Hayas College Youth

Описание: Since my parents divorced, it has been very difficult for me to communicate and express how I feel to my friends and family. Because of this, for six years I kept everything to myself, which caused me a lot of suffering. In this talk, I explain how to communicate—although it is something we use every day—not everyone knows how to use it effectively. I share the lessons I have learned throughout my years in therapy and how it has helped me overcome my fears of being vulnerable in front of others. Likewise, I share two personal experiences with which some people may identify and realize that they are not alone. Finally, I present a vision for the future in which I imagine what the world would be like if we all had the courage and knowledge to communicate with others, and how this could improve our relationships with people. My name is Regina Burgos Landa, and I was born on May 7, 2010, in the city of Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. I live with my mom and my younger brother; my parents divorced when I was 9 years old, so my dad does not live with us, but he visits us every weekend. Since I was little, my parents enrolled me in dance classes, a sport that I have loved and practiced for approximately 10 years of my life. I have won and participated in multiple competitions, both regional and national. I also love reading; in the last three years, I have read approximately 200 books. Currently, I am studying high school at Colegio Las Hayas, a place where I have been for only four years, but I consider transferring here one of the best decisions I have made, since I have been able to make many friends over the years. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
