[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly, it is threads like this that removes all questions from my mind as to why our HS students are having the emotional problems they are having.  I am only surprised the problems are not yet more prevalent at the elementary and middle school levels.  It is only a matter of time. [/quote]

From our experience at our Middle School and our experience at our current HS,  I would say that many of the mental health issues coming to the forefront in HS were partly a result of the Middle School experience.  High School, so far (currently have one Junior and one Freshman) has been much less intense/competitive and the HS has been MUCH more responsive to students mental health needs (not perfect and could definitely improve, but leagues above the Middle School).  Part of it is the administration at each school and part of it is that MS is only two years and there are many there that push things along because they don't have to deal with the consequences.  Unfortunately, the HS gets to deal with the consequences.  [/quote]
