Does anyone else wish they taught mental health in school along with our physical health? Both mental health as it pertains to taking care ourselves and being more understanding of each other.

it is taught and has been taught in american schools, I hated the classes, my siblings some liked them some didnt, same with my parents. two of children one loves health class, pe, social studies and such, the other doesnt. they even had these things in their head start/ preschool years.
i dont think the problem is in the classes not being taught. some kids just dont want to learn it, dont bother doing the homework, listening to the teacher. todays kids have harder things to worry about like drugs, alcohol, abuse...that we didnt have to worry about when we were kids.
know of a few classes that were taught in school that I just didnt learn because I didnt do the homework, listen in class, chose not to talk during those class discussions. the classes were taught, I just didnt put in the effort to learn them.
