• Question: How much do you think that school contributes to stress and poor mental health and do you think it would be better if say we spent less time at school and spent more time pursuing hobbies and things we are passionate about?

      I run a mental health charity in my own time and we pick up on all sorts of up. There are so many expectations on young people and not just in the school. I think overall you need to have a balance of study and leisure its good for the mind and body. Reflect and do lots self development. Allow your mind to wonder and understand more about you.

      What I have learnt from people like yourselves and others is you can do 3 things

      1. Create a space where people can share
      2. Listen
      3. Be there and support each other.
