Hello! I am attempting to work directly with local middle and high schools to increase their efforts regarding student wellness. I am proposing weekly mental health forms that take information like: Mood, Depression Check, Anxiety Check, Dietary Check, Happiness Check, School Satisfaction Check, etc. There is a lot more that I wish to propose, but first I need your support to get their attention. YOU ARE IMPORTANT, YOUR OPINION SHOULD NOT GO UNHEARD.

Covid-19 is tearing a hole in our society, even among teenagers. Sign this petition to (hopefully) convince schools to start looking into more mental health awareness and assistance programs. That is all, have an amazing day everyone! <3

THE FOLLOWING ARE FACT:

(According to the Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program) 

1. Every 100 minutes a teen takes their own life.
2. Suicide is the third-leading cause of death for young people ages 15 to 24.
3. About 20 percent of all teens experience depression before they reach adulthood.
4. Between 10 to 15 percent suffer from symptoms at any one time.
5. Only 30 percent of depressed teens are being treated for it.

According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, there were 41,910,114 youth age 10-19 year old's in the United States. 20% of this number is 8.2 MILLION teenagers. 8.2 million of your peers suffer from things like depression. Only 30% of that 8.2 million are treated for it. That number is: 2,460,000. The other 5 MILLION 740 THOUSAND teens are untreated and suffering. That is only a generally accurate number, there are more.
