text: There are people that would argue saying children are better off taking the online classes because it helps with mental health. I believe that mental health would still be negatively affected if a person went the route of taking online classes because no matter if you are in a classroom or if you are at home, there is still social media and it is the number one cause of teen depression, not school. If a parent wants to help a child's mental health they should make them stay away from social media. A person should not have to miss out on such a great time in their life because of anxiety. If they stay around nice people and do not get involved with bullies, there mental health will be in balance.
