The Stigma of Mental Health in Schools

So what is stigma? Stigma is a strong feeling of disapproval associated with a particular thing. The stigma of mental health can often divide children and leave them feeling ostracised. In fact, stigma is one of the most important problems in the entire mental health field.  By understanding what stigma is, young people can seek help by talking to their parents or teachers.

Mental health is often not commonly talked about in schools. People are not adversely educated in the struggles some may be facing. Some schools have approached mental health  but only the milder types like insomnia and exam stress. However, they never seem to bring up topics like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
One way that schools can approach fighting the stigma, is by introducing curriculum based learning programmes that explicitly teach about mental health issues and develop students’ mental health literacy. Also, by providing a safe, trustworthy environment, young people may feel more open to seeking the help they need.

What is the official age for children to be using social media?

The age that should be allowed for teenagers to be on social media is around 13 to 16.The minimum age for WhatsApp is 16.Youtube, Wechat and kik, have a minimum age required of 18, although kik aged 13 to 17 can signup with parents permission. Wayback then, Twitter very clearly stated the minimum age required for anyone signing, up for a new account on the social network:13.

This was also located in their terms of service.However,in 2009 it was removed and replaced to Twitter’s privacy policy.

Facebook is the most popular social networking sites with over 800 million people online – lots of them are our age.With people posting and liking everyday it is a great way to share what youre doing with ur friends. BUT ARE THEY ALL FRIENDS???People can also hold fake accounts pretending to be someone they’re not which can be very dangerous. NEVER MEET A PERSON THAT YOU HAVE NEVER MET IN REAL LIFE!! Usually, children our age completely  ignore about the age that is acceptable on social medias and just start to make accounts. They are also a HUGE FAVOURITE with children, allowing them to stay in touch with friends over chats,meeting new friends with similar interests,but they have no idea if they are actually talking to the person that they think they are talking to because they might lie about their own age and ask them to meet them and that would be a huge dangerous thing to do especially without your parents knowing about it!

why does age on social media matter?

Age matters because it is extremely dangerous for younger people like us to be making accounts on social media. It also matters because children that are younger than us wouldn’t actually know how to use social medias like facebook,snapchat,instagram etc.
