Improve social integration for young individuals Leaving reality shows

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

There are far too many individuals suffering from mental health problems having left a reality tv shows. Some of whom, who go on to commit suicide. More needs to be done from producers and broadcasters to help reduce these numbers.
The feeling of inadequacy and overwhelming attention having left these shows proves there is little support for those who are going back into society having experienced a significant increase and intrusiveness in their personal lives. People can’t cope and End up living lives that aren’t maintainable. Sociable media has a part to play but responsibility lies with the tv shows.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This petition seems to be calling on the producers and broadcasters of reality shows, not the UK Government or Parliament, to take action.
