too aggressive, according to education strategies drafted by an Australian state government.
The "Good Mental Health Rocks" kit, which was distributed this month to about 30 schools in
Queensland State, offers strategies such as "Don't mark in red pens(which can be seen as
aggressive)-use a different color."Other tips include structuring time for peer tutoring every day,
apologizing to students when necessary and asking students to conduct a "personal skill audit(审查)"
where they focus on their individual strengths rather than their weaknesses.
The kit, designed to help Queensland teachers address mental health problems in the classroom,
suggests social and emotional wellbeing has been linked to young people's schooling, among other things.
The education aid has sparked a row in parliament(议会), with deputy opposition leader Mark McArdle calling it "kooky, loony, loopy lefty policies."
But Health Minister Stephen Robertson, whose department devised the kit, said youth suicide was
a serious issue."If mental health professionals determine that as one of a number of strategies teachers
should consider, and then I'll support them every day, "he told reporters recently."This is not a matter
for ridicule; this is serious".
According to some Australian mental health groups, the greatest number of people with mental illness
is aged between 18 and 24 years, with 14 percent of Australian children and adolescents suffering from
some sort of illness.Boys are slightly more likely to experience mental health problems than girls and
depression is one of the most common conditions among young people and increases during
adolescence, the website of mental health group Mindframe said.

Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for the London bus. The bus for London would not leave until five to twelve. He saw a lot of people waiting in the station. Some were standing in lines; others were walking about. There was a group of schoolgirls. Their teacher was trying to keep them in order. Tom looked around but there was nowhere for him to sit.
He walked into the station café. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down, facing a large mirror on the wall. Just then, John, one of Tom’s friends, came in and sat with Tom.
“What time is your bus?” asked John.
“Oh, there is plenty of time yet,” answered Tom.
“Oh, I’ll get you some more tea then,” said John.
They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again.
“Good heavens! It’s going back-ward!” he cried. “A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now it’s half past eleven.”
“You are looking at the clock in the mirror,” said John.
