1. In most of the high schools, the high achievers may have large amount of anxiety and stress to perform well on every test and assignment 
2.  
3. Some students who come from ‘difficult’ family backgrounds like abusive or drunkard father, can bully others at the school, therefore ruining their own image, and of their victims. The schools are therefore a “prime suspect” in becoming the location of bullying.
4.  
5. Students who are bullied may notice a change in their behaviour and mood, may experience depressive episodes or anxiety focused towards going to school or certain situations. Especially if they’re bullied by a classmate or a senior at their school.
6.  
7. School curriculums are relatively ‘draining’ on the students as well. Going to school for 6-7 hours and then going to do homework for another 2 hours isn’t easy on the mind or the body.
8.  
9. Students may experience self-confidence or self-esteem issues. When at school, one may compare themselves to the “popular girl” or “popular boy.” causing an unfortunate low self-esteem. 
10.  
11. While school itself doesn’t really impact the mental health all the time, it for sure does contribute many such scenarios that can impact the psyche of the students.
12. Even before the students, the teachers themselves must be first taught how to cope with stress, how to live in the present moment or how to deal with real-life matters.

The curriculum must be designed and developed by trained professional psychologists 

Nutrition awareness for healthy eating: 
We all know by now, how little the school systems actually teach about this subject today. The information that typically is taught is incorrect or makes gross over-generalizations. Discussing eating disorders openly is so detrimental to young people recognizing eating issues/disorders within themselves and causing a barrier to them getting proper help in identifying if some students need to have more balanced diets and take care of their nutrient deficiencies which also causes mental health issues as well as physical growth issues.

Self care for balancing school/home life:
Also, another thing that I think the schools do that causes issues later on is the glorification of being busy and undervaluing the necessity for self-care. Students should be taught how to balance their work, but also how to prioritize their own mental and physical health above all else. Self-care is so imperative in mental-health, and it is so simplistic, yet I find this a very difficult thing for people to prioritize healthy time management.

Inculcate Emotional Intelligence:
It is so important to embed the social and emotional learning into your teaching practices that would engage students in problem-solving matters, and instill perseverance and determination in them. We need to prepare models to impart respect individually to each other, self-respect and respecting others. Also incorporate character education which means the social moral responsibility need to be encouraged students to develop and share opinions and also impart resiliency and perseverance.

Mentoring for Sensitivity training:
This is important for teachers too, so that they know which kids need help. Once the sensitive kids are identified, we need to constitute Peer counseling groups of mentor program if the student would need a slightly older "sister" or "brother" who would hand hold them for a healthy role model or other programs.

Moral Character building:
The students need to be taught the values of a person or group are the moral principles and beliefs that they should think are important in life and that they tend to live their lives by such values as guiding principles of ethical behaviour. They need to be taught about virtues such as honesty, integrity, truthfulness, helpfulness, love, respectfulness, hard-work, this will help them build their strong character and self-confidence as an individual.

Communicate Positivity:
Remaining positive in all situations makes the person tough mentally. Following this notion, the values inculcated in our childhood tend to shape our decisions as an adult. In such a scenario it becomes essential to make our children aware of how to handle any situation positively from the beginning.

Respect Diversity and appreciate differences:
As far as inspiring tolerance and compassion in students coming from different cultures and backgrounds, towards themselves as well as others, that should begin as soon as they reach school. I would say that the most important things schools can do to support mental health are indirect. An environment in which everyone is same in all respects of caste, religion, colour of the skin or other physical attributes is routinely treated with respect and compassion makes the isolation and stigma associated less likely to occur.

Social Skills development: There are children who have social skills deficits and other issues which could impact their mental health which can sometimes be addressed through more traditional skills treatment, but that will only be effective if the children have interest in social issues and the practices discussed above are in place. 

Gender Sensitization:
Gender sensitization refers to the modification of behavior by raising awareness of gender equality concerns. This can be achieved by conducting various sensitization campaigns, workshop, programs etc. Gender sensitization refers to the changing behavior and instilling empathy into the views that we hold about our own and the other genders. The theories which claim that modification of the behavior of teachers and parents (etc.) that the boys and girls are needed to be treated equally at all levels and gender equality needs to be emphasized in view of the repeated cases of molestations of students.

Make Education the fun way:
Whatever your approach of teaching mental health issues, your main goal should be to do everything possible to create an environment in which everyone feels safe and equal and that they have support available to them should they need it. School should be perceived as a safe place for all who enter the doors, rather than a frightening or bullying space for anyone.


Summary
The need for including mental health is of utmost important in today’s social scenario as we all are fully aware of the repeated cases of child abuse as well as children facing social discrimination on the basis of skin colour, hair colour or ethnicity, therefore students coming from different cultural backgrounds need to be treated equally so that an inclusive society can be expected to be formed in future.
