text: We all know what it's like to feel upset about ourselves. To have a bad feeling about our appearance, whether that be our clothes or our body. Imagine being reminded of that every day in a school setting. Students are constantly told by their peers that they are not good enough. When I started middle school was when this feeling set in. My mental health rapidly declined and I started not caring about the way I acted towards my family because all I wanted was to be good enough in the eyes of my classmates. Once I realized this wasn't healthy, I asked my parents if I could take classes online. I truly believe it is best for the mental and emotional health of our youth. Online schooling creates an environment where students can't be judged, harassed, or bullied. Also, it provides a chance for students to rest their brains when they want to, not when the teacher says they can. Taking classes online is the best way to improve the mental health of our youth.
