What the petition asks
Sex ed and physical ed is compulsory in school, I strongly believe so should mental health and eating disorders.
If it can not be added as a subject then let’s look at adding it as an add on lesson the same as sex education. The stats of mental health in young people is rapidly rising in the UK.
