ABOUT
Stress and Strain of School
Laura-Liz Partoon Staffordshire
'A lot of students don’t feel that they have anyone to talk to if they feel stressed or pressurized.'
My campaign
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.
My Campaign highlights
- Getting a counseling service in my own school
- Meeting mentor, Esther Foreman
- Getting my own website up and running
- Getting 3 MPs to sign up to my Facebook group
- Winning the Princess Diana award
How can you help?
- Download my action pack if you want to fight for counseling in your school
- Look at my website
- Leave a comment on Battlefront or Bebo page
- Tell me your story about how you felt stressed at school

I cannot believe what a mamby-pamby state this country has become.. so your school work is a little hard for you, diddums! I left school in 1978 and up till I left school was a LOT HARDER than it is today and we didn't have children getting depressed over it, we knew and understood we needed this education to prepare us for being Adults and getting work etc.. I wouldn't mind, but these days they only teach you how to pass exams anyway, the level of knowledge teenagers know these days is pathetic! Too much time spent on this type of rubbish instead of concentrating on what is good for them!

Hey, Thank you for your comments and continued support! :-) While working on the campaign, it has become incrasing apparent that at secondary school it was such a taboo subject and even at uni, its still not widely talked about, when you need someone to talk to its hard to find the right people… The campaign is currently on a short break, March 2010 – May 2010, but when we come back we will be taking the campaign into Universities around the country and into more schools in America… to keep upto date with campaign news you can follow us on http://www.junction49.co.uk/idea/2185/stress_and_strain_of_school/ Many Thanks and Best Wishes, Laura-Liz Stress and Strain of School campaign co-ordinator.
