MANIPULATIVE, PERSUASIVE SPEECH IN INTIMATE STYLE

“ my DEPRESSION”

This speech is entitled “my depression” using intimate style. Hi I’m Nova Jean 20
years old
A daughter, sister, a friend and student. If you count all of your responsibility you
just got confuse and try to ask yourself did you attain all of that? I am a kind of
person that believe money can’t buy happiness, I’m jolly, talkative and friendly
known as a clown in our family and friends, but my family, friends and love ones
without an idea about my feelings and problems. I would like to share with you
guys my experience about my depression. There’s a lot of question in my mind
that I want someone to ask me, like Are you okay? If you need someone to talk to
I’m just here okay? Did you experience mental breakdown? Why are you depress?
These questions I wish someone to ask me. This is the hardest part of my life,
because when someone needed me, no hesitations I will come and willing to help
and anything that I can, but when I needed someone like that, I have no one. I
wish I have a person like me, a friend who is willing to travel many hours just to
comfort a friend and to make her feel that she’s not alone, A someone who is
willing to give everything she can. Behind my smile and laugh I am totally break
inside, I’m down but because I have no one , and because I don’t want them to
see me in my weakest moment, me and myself alone is dealing to the unknown
problem. I just always kept in my mind that I am strong, no one can defeat me,
even I don’t have someone , but I have a strongest person in my life and it’s me. I
belong to those students who is pressured by the expectation of our family. I
suffer anxiety and depression secretly. I’ve been in the moment that I am totally
broke, in the moment that I’m not aware that my tear fall and at the same time. I
was lost and might sounds weird but I swear it’s too hard to deal with it. I suffer
depression because of my study and Due to the pressure of my family, because
they have a high expectation from me, which is I know to myself that I cannot
able to meet that. Depression is not a joke and to all students out there, this is
just a part of our grow and it could be a big help for us too. It’s okay not to be
okay and it’s normal. Therefore if you have a friend who says she is depress,
motivate her/him because seriously it is difficult to deal with it. Hug her and tell
her that it’s okay not to be okay.
