And, we turn now to the youths…World Children's Day will be observed on Sunday and 7News partnered with Unicef and NCFC to give one young student a chance to be a reporter for a day and to highlight the types of stress that youths typically endure.
While most of them don't go to work everyday, pay bills, or raise kids of their own, that doesn't mean that they don't get overwhelmed with the pressures of schools, parents, and their peers.
Today, junior reporter Asher Torres spoke to a youth counselor as well as some young students. Here is his story.
And Yssaguirre added that one important part of her counseling is confidentiality, making young people feel safe enough to vent about whatever is bothering them.
Meanwhile, the students agreed that taking mental health breaks should also be a priority.
