Hey! My name is Emma, I am 18, and I am a young champion at @TimetoChange. Today, I will be talking with you about the stigma around mental health that occurs in schools,as it& #39;s something I& #39;ve experienced personally, and I know that I& #39;m not the only person who& #39;s gone through this

CN: Please note- this thread explores the impact of stigmatising language around mental health. Please put yourself and your wellbeing first when it comes to reading this https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">

Stigma is when someone sees you in a negative way because of your mental illness, perhaps as a result of inaccurate stereotypes, or misinformation. This can lead to discrimination- where you& #39;re treated badly, as a result of your mental health.
