Teach CPR before you leave High School!

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Teach young people before they leave high school to give CPR. I think it is really important you get taught how to give CPR before leaving High School. By learning how to give CPR you could be saving somebodies life which is vitally important.
So many people don't know how to do CPR and although there are many courses you can attend people don't because it isn't something they think about or are interested in or think they will ever have to do but these situations are unexpected and you never know if you will have to do it. I think it is really important you get taught how to give CPR before leaving High School. By learning how to give CPR you could be saving somebodies life which is vitally important.
