Push for schools to include mental health lessons on the curriculum

Include compulsory lessons about mental health and how to manage their mental health.

Why is this important?

This is important since around 10% of children ages 8-14 have a diagnosed mental health disorder but a massive 70% of children struggle with mental health. This issue is also extremely important for boys and young men because the biggest killer of young boys and men is suicide. Finally as a OCD sufferer myself i know what it is like to have a debilitating disorder.
