Realizing that mental health is important for all levels has been an eye-opener for me. We always want our students to do their homework and complete assignments, but we don't take into consideration that they have a home life and can stress about these things as well. I want them to come to school excited to learn and find ways to cope and balance their daily lives as they are only teenagers and life should not be so hard. Students need to maintain a balance for themselves and for their academic lives. These students deserve to succeed in all ways. With these books, we will work to find different strategies and focus on the importance of being teenagers and how to maintain a higher self esteem for themselves.
