Rejected petition Make it compulsory for schools to talk about mental health

It's said that 98% of teachers know a pupil that is self harming, and it is also said that children as young as FOUR years old are experiencing some kind of mental health problems.

More details

If it is made compulsory that schools should discuss mental health in school, then I am confident that there will be a decrease in the amount of children having a mental health problem and discussing it with someone so they can fix their problem.
