Mental Health

Mental Health by Greg Chang (H21)

We all suffer from mental health problems and I strongly believe it is vital to offer various, suitable ways to deal with it. I chose to ask the Upper Sixth about mental health because they have the experience of dealing with the stresses of GCSEs, A Levels, and ordinary school life. Moreover, the younger years are more likely to listen to a Year 13, which makes it especially easy to connect and ultimately not lead to words falling on empty ears.

In my video, the Upper Sixth who I interviewed did sometimes offer contrasting advice. I saw this as an opportunity to show that as a person grows up, they develop their own healthy method to dealing with mental health problems. It is a personal task, yet advice from others should always be in consideration.

To conclude, I made this video as a way to give back to a community which I treasure and will always be in debt too. This is just a small part in raising awareness about mental health problems. There is undoubtedly a long way to go, however, you do not have to be great to start, but, you have to start to be great.
