That may have helped.

Certainly treating each other better would make a better world, and better discipline in the classroom (and at home) would be a huge benefit. Those that are mentally ill need many more services however, society needs to take this problem seriously. Many MI folks are invisible, homeless or poor, they are 7x more likely to be the victim of a crime than the perp. Often times they are released from hospitals with an inadequate (or no) support system. The very laws that protect you and me often harm them as they make it impossible to get them treatment. It is a huge problem that could be solved if politicians actually listened to MH professionals instead of playing politics with the lives of those who can't speak up. Of course, we know the likelihood of that happening!
