End the Mental Health Stigma

I don't really know if I can sign this. I'm ten. But this ban is sexualising girls as young as eleven, and if there's a problem it's with the teachers, boys and men.

Seriously man?

END ITTTTT

LET GIRLS BE GIRLS. THEIR BODIES, THEIR RIGHTS

DONT

Honestly, people need to stop sexualizing and objecifying women/girls' bodies and try teaching those doing it that they're not an object of their own pleasure.

This is simply outrageous. As a woman it hurts me deeply that girls as young as 11 are still being seen as distracting sexual objects. This needs to change. In this day and age such matter is exasperating.

I agree!

I would just like to say that I think this topic is so important. As someone who struggle(d)(s) with depression, bi-polar tendencies, anxiety and more I am so so so thankful that others are raising awareness to end the stigma :) thank you

I struggle with my mental health and I am glad people are making a stand against the stigma surrounding mental health. :)

As a teenager struggling with multiple mental illnesses, it warms my heart and gives me courage to see people my age fighting to make things right.

i usually go to the doctor for physical health issues but i never go to the counselor, even when i greatly feel the need to

Young girl's bodies should not be sexualized and teachers should not feel uncomfortable because of a bra!

I have depression and as a 13 year old girl it is very difficult. Only 3 people know and I'm too afraid to tell anybody else. I need this stigma of suicide and mental health to be broken as it stops me from doing everyday activities due to the fear that people might find out. I've become very introverted and for anyone with depression it isn't very helpful. Please sign this petition. Millie. Xx

Don't censor the girls, educate the boys.

This is awesome, thank you so much!

what the hecko is wrong with your school

Schools have always been important places for students to learn and feel comfortable around their peers, and it becomes incredibly difficult for them to express themselves and feel secure when teachers and faculty begin enforcing strict dress codes. Students begin to feel sexualized, like every adult in the building is inspecting their outfit and it's incredibly uncomfortable for children who are just beginning to learn how to dress themselves and what they like to wear. In my experience, I tend to wear comfortable clothes, soft pants, long shirts, and earthy tones and colors. But I've gotten yelled at in my school because I look "lazy" and it's not the "image" that the school likes to present to the public. Dress code makes students feel insecure, question their fashion choices, and creates a negative environment for students in school. Not to mention that schools with strict dress codes end up prioritizing some rules over others, and students end up learning which rules it's okay to break instead of how to dress appropriately. All in all, I think learning how to dress appropriately is a great skill to teach kids, but dress codes (especially strict ones like this) are the wrong way to accomplish the task. Young kids need light restrictions, and lots of room to learn how to grow as PEOPLE, not little minions who you can boss around for something as stupid as a pink bra

i support this movement 100%

I am in middle school and get dress codes a lot, how would those teachers like to shop for appropriate clothes an the adult section?
