The government does not care about students. They only care that we are forced to be in classrooms for 7-8 hours a day, forced to behave no matter what’s going on in our lives, and do little to actually help. Counselors don’t listen, parents don’t listen, teaches don’t listen. Don’t go to a trusted adult, go and advocate for yourself. We are not mindless, same people. We are individuals with individual experiences, personalities, and problems. 

This petition is to help bring awareness to student mental health, specifically of minors (k-12), and to actually force change. Because otherwise? The su!cide rates in the young will keep going up. The depression rates in teens will keep going up. We will keep getting worse.

Signing this petition is just to bring awareness and proof to government. If you’d like to help further, to actually push for change in more ways than saying “I’m here”, then feel free to reach out to me.
