#5 Mental Health in School

I think learning about mental health is crucial, because we spend so much time learning how to keep our body healthy, yet we don't spend nearly enough time talking about how to keep our brains healthy. It all should start in gr 8 because everything changes once you get to high school. Everyone isn't your friend and its gong to be 10x more hard. I feel like everyone is so naive about it being hard. Yes, 95% high school isn't stressful. But when it is, it hits you like a truck. All of a sudden your 70% average isn't good enough, you're swamped in tests and quizzes, look out because you now have to plan out your entire life in gr 12, and teenagers don't have the mental capacity to handle all of this. They need to change the curriculum, to help teenagers before its too late.
