Make it compulsory to show ‘Jesy Nelson: Odd One Out’ in all secondary schools

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

More and more kids/young adults are being attacked and targeted on social media platforms and we want to show the impact that this can have on kids and young adults.
This should be compulsory across the UK in all secondary schools. Everyone should be aware of the impact their words and actions can cause, and I believe they will be more understanding if it is said by a public figure and somebody that young adults can relate to.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

The educational materials used to teach school students is a matter for individual schools, not the Government or House of Commons.
