School can be mentally dangerous for some students,  high stakes tests and a demanding workload plus peer pressure, bullying, and social exclusion, can lead to long term emotional distress and mental health problems like depression or anxiety. Some kids literally can have a life outside of school because of the intense amount of homework. in 2021 the CDC Recorded almost 2,000 child suicide cases from the ages 14 to 18, many of which are likely to be school related. kids should just be allowed to be kids, not have to worry about grades, homework, and tests 24/7. schools should allow 1-3 mental health days per month so students can focus on themselves. school used to be fun till it was full of bullying, homework and tests. many children need days to focus on their well being rather than just crying to themselves every night, on here days they could go to therapy, support groups, of have some real fun. for me, school is just so overwhelming. it take up so much time and ill be sitting in bed for hours stressing about homework assignment and then realize that I literally have 9 more! school was hard for me in 3rd grade cause we would get in so many fights (my friends and i) and having a day off to just think back and realize what went wrong would have been so helpful. please sign we need this support!
