STUDENT STORIES

The pandemic has been difficult for all of us, most especially students. Here is a compilation of high school students sharing their struggles, specifically their current life stressors.

Through these stories, I aim to overcome the rising stigma surrounding mental health. If nothing is said and mental health conditions are treated as the norm, they will continue to persist in society. By having individuals share their stories, we can create a safer and more accepting community as others will be encouraged to share their own.
