What I Wish I was Taught in School...

I wish I was taught the importance of affirmations before and after school lessons to reduce the fear of maths, physics, chemistry, biology, arts, and humanities.

I wish I was taught the importance of breathing exercises and how it help to calm anxiety during a class presentation or class test.

I wish I was taught the importance of mental health and how not making a priority can cause depression, sadness, anxiety, and eventually suicide.

I wish I was taught that the suicide is not attention seeking and that those who struggle with mental health disorders are not monsters or evil people.

I wish I was taught not to discriminate against those struggling with mental health and be a support system.

I wish I was taught that rest is just as productive as studying an all night.

I wish I was taught to set proper boundaries to protect myself mentally, physically, and spiritually.

I wish I was taught that a school grade means less in the outside world, and getting below average doesn’t mean I am a failure or a loser and that I can’t amount to anything.
