It’s so important that TV shows highlight difficult subjects as this will help to raise awareness.

Over the last couple of years TV programmes have highlighted some difficult subjects including hate crime.

It is so important that these programs highlight these types of issues as they have helped me to feel comfortable about who I am.

I totally understand that these types of issues are difficult to watch on your television screen.

However I strongly believe that these issues need to be discussed through the power of TV as they may save a life

I have connected with the recent storyline in one soap opera recently as I have been a victim of hate crime.

When I watched the particular storyline it showed me that I should feel able to open up about these types of issues.

I am excited to see where soap operas go when exploring these types of issues as I know that they will continue to help those who really are in need.

I have never felt so connected with a story than I do when they are discussing issues around disability etc.

Thank you to the incredible actors who share these types of stories with the public as they do a fantastic job in sometimes very difficult situations.

I would like to again remind all young people to consider what they say and who it might affect us sometimes words can hurt.

The people behind the soap operas don’t always get praised for the work that they do when highlighting these issues.

These actors sometimes work for months if not years in order to do a topic justice when trying to share the story behind it.

I hope that this blog will show you that soap operas don’t just run stories for the sake of it but they actually do it in order to help people come to terms with things that are happening in their lives.

If you would like help or support in dealing with some of the issues that these programs discuss please go online to their support pages as their will be information on them to help.
