Mental health needs to be taught just like math. Kids are struggling and having no clue how to handle it.

Schools focus so much on grades but ignore the actual well being of the students. Change this now.

I wish someone had explained this stuff to me when I was in high school. Might have saved me a lot of pain.

Too many kids are suffering in silence because they are scared to talk about it. This is long overdue.
