THREE Dad's Walking are doing 'great work' after they penned a letter to Boris Johnson asking for better education in schools.

The letter, from 3 Dads Walking - Andy Airey from Cumbria, Mike Palmer from Greater Manchester and Tim Owen from Norfolk - called for better mental health support for young people and the topics of positive mental health and suicide prevention to be added to the curriculum.

Norman G said: "And another great organisation is "Jordan's Legacy" Similar to the "three dads" in that it is a father. Really thought provoking and a great cause for a man doing great work.

"On average 18 young people die from suicide every day in the uk. Very sad and needs attention."

Carol Lomas said: "So many young people are going missing and now and again they do not come home to their loved ones.

"A lot are not telling loved ones what they are going through and keeping everything hidden. It's heart breaking for them and their loved ones."

KendalSmithy said: "Every suicide is desperately sad, but especially that of a young person. The factors are numerous but I don't understand why it's necessary for a government to provide 'support' to those in danger of committing suicide.

"And while parents are ultimately responsible for their children's welfare we have to take into account the current state of the education system which has become totally politicised and 'nannified' during the last few decades.

"The schools should impart knowledge, the Government should govern and the parents should care; but the roles are now so confused that our poor youngsters don't know who is supposed to do what, or who to turn to for help. And the worst aspect of all is that with every successive generation this confusion becomes even worse.

Bonkersbarrow responded: "Schools do a fantastic job in those cases in caring for those kids and giving them a safe caring environment. Schools are so much more than just places to impart knowledge especially for many children in Barrow."
