It's time to break the cycle.

So relatable. Please know that your tiredness is real. It is always valid. And you should never have to explain yourself to anyone.
People: Why are you so tired all the time? You never do anything. Me: My anxiety drains all my energy and even when I don't leave the house I get exhausted because my mind is always racing; my body is always prepared for danger, and I can never relax. I may not be doing anything externally, but my brain is doing EVEYTHING.

A powerful message by twloha that needs to be shared widely.

Your existence is not up for debate, and you deserve to be fully loved, known, and celebrated. Today and everyday, Pride remains a necessary act of love, resistance, joy and survival.

This is why you shouldn’t compare yourself to others. Post by the__lucky__me 💛

Today, Lords will debate an amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing Bill to protect children from physical punishment. AEP & coalition partners encourage peers to support this crucial amendment to give every child legal protection from assault. It’s time to #EndPhysicalPunishment.

Exams are putting too much pressure on young people. This quote is from our Activist Chloe and we know she is not alone. More than three-quarters of teachers reported mental health issues related to exam anxiety in their students during the last school year. “Exams are outdated memory tests that don’t reflect true intelligence, especially for anyone who isn’t neurotypical, has mental health issues or lives with additional needs,” Chloe told us. “No child going through the chaos of adolescence should face the pressure of securing their future by answering questions for one hour in a cold sports hall.” It’s time to change how schools do exams.
I've dealt with anxiety and depression all my life. But I believe exams caused my mental health to spiral.

Children missing school over uniform and trips costs, miserable study shows

Some 16% of pupils aged 11-18 have missed school at least once because their parents couldn’t afford something they needed to attend, such as branded uniform or kit

This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek let's spotlight the power of music to help young people who face mental health challenges & disengagement from education to reconnect, process trauma & tell their stories. 🎵 Their 'musical footprints' deserve to be heard. edpsy.org.uk/blog/2024/music…
