Jackson is in the ninth grade at Lakeview Junior High School. He says he sometimes needs a place to stay alone and have a break. His classmate, Jenny, sometimes feels unhappy and is even afraid.
"Things are happening in our world and they are impacting(影响) our students at school, " Sarah, the school teacher, says.
Now in one of the school's rooms, students can find a moment to take a break. The room is called SMART lab. It helps young people with different stress(压力). Students spend about 23 minutes in the lab every day. They can talk, colour, listen to music and play games. All these can help them feel better and listen carefully in class.
Every year, the lab helps 383 students in the school. "There's always a thing you can do and there is always someone who wants to talk, " Jenny says.
"If you're afraid, and want to talk to someone about how you feel, just go into the SMART lab, " Jackson says.
