In response to Sick kids... posted by Migisi:
During the time I was attending UVM (1966-1968) one of my closest friends had to leave school because of mental problems.
.
While I was finishing my degree (1973-1975) I witnessed one student go into total meltdown, and heard about two other students who left school because of mental problems.
.
One woman dropped (in her mid-thirties) out for the same reason while I was attending Woodbury.
.
BUT I saw many other students who were profoundly depressed and never sought help. I also saw students who should have been suspended because of serious problems with anger management.
.
Sorry-rambling a bit here. My point is, while the problem isn't new, I do believe it is growing in intensity and frequency. Yet another thing we need to closely examine, and take VERY seriously.
.
peace and love,
Paper Turtle
