'A lot of students don’t feel that they have anyone to talk to if they feel stressed or pressurized.'
My campaign is to promote and improve the mental health and wellbeing of students. I’ve seen friends go through the pressures of school and drop out of courses because of stress. I’ve seen other people stay on but suffer from depression because of the stress of all the work. I think there needs to be a system to help young people cope.

Laura, this is awesome, well done! Good to see a couple of familiar faces! The students say one thing, the teachers another - it actually shows the value of your campaign by showing the gap between the reality of provision as staff see it, and the support students feel that they are actually getting. A lot of money is spent on this kind of thing, so if it's not right or not well-known enough the money needs to be better spent. xx

Hi Laura-Liz, I love your campaign, its fellow students like you who really inspire me to carry on with this hell hole called school, i want to escape this place more than anything, there's no support for us here especially not sixth formers(as you well know)... You are like a famous celeb, everyone knows of you, everyone has an opinion of you but regardless of that you always carry on and do whats right for others and you are so inspirational to me! :) I hope you get the grades you need for london :) - but i will miss you and all the amazing work you do for us here... lyl...

Hi Laura, I think your campaign is excellent and would love to speak to you and run something by you on my education blog, School Gate (http://timesonline.typepad.com/schoolgate/) Would it be possible for you to contact me at all? Thanks very much Best wishes, Sarah

Hi everyone! :) Thank you for your lovely comments and for sharing your experiances with me... I know school is hard for many people in their own ways, which is why i really need your support to help improve the support system for students - as although the campaign is about mental health and wellbeing, stress is the biggest cause of mental health in young people and is caused by many factors - which many of you have already indentified!... hope you are all well, and please remeber you are never alone... Laura-Liz xxx - campaign co-ordinator
