To show people how important your mental health is and give all people the chance to talk to someone.

Mental health is incredibly important and also incredibly overlooked in many schools. Especially in exam years (I myself am in sixth year), students feel more under pressure than ever, by teachers, peers, parents, and themselves. Staying mentally healthy is key to making sure you do well in school and exams and in life. As someone who suffers from mental illness, I really feel this should be available. Having to leave classes crying and having panic attacks in bathrooms shouldn't be happening. It needs to change.

Mental health is just as important as physical health, and so needs to be treated that way. They also come hand in hand and the stigma surrounding mental health needs to be destroyed.

I feel that it is totally necessary for this issue of mental health to be addressed. Things are becoming so out of hand at this stage. We can make the difference by taking mental health more seriously rather than pushing it aside!! #nomoresuicides

I'm so glad this is getting attention and I really hope word spreads to the school. The Holy Family is a disgrace tbh and the sooner they acknowledge mental health as a real and serious and important part of life, the better. Rest in Peace Toni, and anybody else in thag school who has taken their lives ❤️

So so many of today's youth suffer with mental health issues,I'm pretty sure nearly every person I know has suffered with the depression or has experience with depression some way or another,anxiety is another huge one,people are so pressured to look a certain way in today's society,I know there isn't really anything we can do to change that,the person has to be confident and love them self but that isn't easy for a lot of people but anyway yeah I think this petition is a good idea and I'm glad to see that someone is actually trying to make a difference and raise awareness for mental health issues  because it really is so important❣️❣️

This is important , and even if we don't get to see it during our time in school it's important to show the people in charge how important this is to so many people. Then maybe they'd see sense.
