First sentence: A leading authority on mental health in children in the UK has estimated that, in the average secondary school of around a thousand pupils at any one time there will be fifty students who are clinically depressed, a further hundred with significant emotional difficulties, ten affected by eating disorders and up to ten who will attempt suicide in the next year (Mind, 1997).
