If teachers do their job correctly their shouldn’t be this much mental conditions. I don’t blame system system is as good as we are . All the coaching industries , schools teachers they don’t care about students all they do is doing there job while teaching is art form for them you are sitting there but next year someone else will be there while for you it’s a whole life experiences in very rare cases you will find a real teacher who really look for the children not only gulp them lessons but also how to work in life to achieve big or how to better themselves who will push you mentor you . If teachers don’t consider their jobs just as way of living things will be different only 2-3 of these type of teachers can bring big change
Most mental health breakdowns happen to students by not performing up to mark and “parents should know that all children can’t be good in all subjects ” This phrase Gen Z use as a defence mechanism but on school level this phrase is garbage the system is in the way that by learning all the subjects you have little knowledge of the world revolving around you which is just basic for your survival . Gen Z use the mental health to cover their incompetence If you have one good teacher in connect their shouldn’t be any mental issue on school level.
On competition level their is no creativity among students they day and night work like robots to get perfect in every single topic but can they use this perfection in real world to build anything answer is NO the motive of education is not to get you high paying jobs while big chunk thinks it is so they go on competition if you perfecting something which you don’t going to use you will sure have mental issues. While Einstien once said ‘Intellingence is not something what you can memorize but it’s how you can imagine ‘ . And there comes coaching industries which is only there to suck money out of you and leave you with nothing.
Supporting students’ mental health and well-being in schools is crucial for their overall development and academic success. One effective way is by integrating mental health education into the curriculum. Teaching students about mental health from an early age helps destigmatize issues and encourages open discussions.
Schools should also provide access to trained counselors and psychologists. Having professionals available for one-on-one sessions can make a significant difference for students dealing with stress, anxiety, or other mental health challenges. My school has a counselor who is always approachable, and it really helps knowing there’s someone to talk to.
Creating a supportive school environment is another key aspect. Encouraging peer support groups and fostering a culture of empathy and understanding can help students feel less isolated. Regular workshops on stress management, mindfulness, and resilience can equip students with tools to handle pressure.
Additionally, schools should actively involve parents and caregivers by providing resources and workshops on recognizing and addressing mental health issues at home. My friend’s school holds regular parent-teacher meetings focusing on mental health awareness, which helps build a supportive network for students.
In summary, a comprehensive approach involving education, professional support, a positive environment, and parental involvement can significantly enhance students’ mental health and well-being in schools.
