#5 Mental Health in Schools

Yes, I think we should talk about mental health in schools because not enough people know enough information about the issue. They only know what is on the surface. Also, children/adolescents need to be educated on how to cope with the situation they are in. They need to be educated on how to help a friend in need and know what to do when it happens. But, they need to educate this at a younger age instead of in grade 11/12. This is because by that time it is way too late and every 1 in 5 students have some sort of mental health issue. They can be taught that mental wellness is not the only important thing that people need to know about, but mental health is an important issue too.
