Education:
Surveys done in many schools, recently found out that stress is a frequent problem in the pupils as they feel worried and tense about school life. The fact that children now have a lot of tests at such young ages does bring a vibe of anxiety into the classrooms. The crime level in England has risen tremendously over the past 20 years and the amount of crime and unpleasant every day happenings is greater then ever before. This can put a dull outlook upon things all together. The pupil’s home lives can also become violent and abusive which causes some of the depression being brought into the school.
