Provide more options for students in need of mental help.

Created by J.W. on January 18, 2013

As a recently graduated high school senior, I faced a multitude of challenges to my mental health in my last year, with very little to help me. As a result my grades dropped significantly in my final year. I propose that the Obama administration attempts to make more options available to students who are suffering from problems such as depression or other mental illnesses that are detrimental to the learning capacity of a student.i sincerely hope that this will be taken seriously because in the situation I was in, it was not about understanding the consequences, rather a question of ambition and will to continue. Students face these sort of problems every day, whether because of stress or whatever else. We must attempt to help the future of our society as much as we can.
