So today in Design class the teacher asked if I would demonstrate how to cut a piece of wood at a certain angle and a girl in my class said “Zoe’s great at cutting! You should see her wrist” before I could even react the really quiet girl in my class got out of her seat punched the girl in the face without even saying a word.

I’m sorry but

The average high school student has the same levels of anxiety as people put in mental hospitals in the 1950s.

Over 25% of my year group has self harmed recently.

Some of my best friends at school cry themselves to sleep because of the pressure of school.

I’ve talked to people considering suicide and having mental breakdowns because of all the work they have to do and the high expectations.

So don’t you dare tell me that there is nothing wrong with our education system.
