Jasons life shows he has good mental health because he is positive.
I'm actually in online school at the moment and I've also been behind quite a bit, my best advice is try to get in contact with the teachers, I don't know if your online school has a center where you can go in and get help but mine does and if you just tell them what you are going through I'm sure that they can help. Worse case scenario you wanted to take a few days off from school and you'll have to lie about being sick or something and they will understand. I hope I helped.
Ethan should walk the walk and maybe Jamal will follow but in the long run Jamal is going to have to learn from his mistakes.
Mental health is a specific diagnosis something you have to function with on a daily basis whereas emotional health is directed towards your emotions like when your dog dies for example can take a large toll on your emotional health it can make you sad or angry but if you had mental health issues and this happened like depression then you probably would be in a deep state of depression for a while and not just be sad for a couple weeks
