Some specialists consider that schools should teach lessons that involve mental illness as part of health education. The primary concern to teach such a topic at schools is because there is an increasing tendency in mental health problem among students from different ages ranging from 8 to 18 years old. Many of the reasons why these mental illnesses appear as well as the possible contributions to find a way out to this problem that is affecting children and teenager in their school years are explained in a recent research published in an article in the BBC on line.
It is known that children are sometimes cruel and this is clearly shown when nuts turn into bullying. There are cases where school mates avoid speaking to a certain teenager discriminating him or her. This isolation with time provokes depression and this in turn ends up in self harming or suicide. It must be remembered how important the sense of belonging for teenagers is. Yet, teenagers do not try to empathise who are different and so they still isolate the other who does not look or behave like the majority does.
Fortunately, many plausible solutions to stop this desegregation and future mental problems have emerged through out the last years. First of all, schools ask the advise of specialist to give students talks so they can express their opinion and listen to different positions in the issue. The function of these speeches is to make students aware that any of them can suffer from these psychological stigmas and to stop those who used to bully at their mates. What’s more teachers are also taught how to react in front of uncomfortable situations among teenagers constant taunts. What has been really positive was the government attention on those cases since authorities have offered direct links between primary acre trusts and schools to help those children displaying signs of mental health.
To sum up, a union among schools, teenagers, specialists and governmental funds contribute to a possible solution of a problem that seemed once that was impossible to uproot from schools: bullying and its terrible consequences: mental health illnesses.
