how big is your school? i think this is a fascinating idea - but why limit it to bipolar? why not emotional disorders? or even add on behavioral? it'd be so helpful; i wish i'd thought of it in highschool. my best friend was bipolar (he's currently in an institute for stabbing his father), and we could've used the support - and that's exactly what you guys should do. hang out and discuss issues, problems, solutions, highs and lows, affects on life, medications, therapy, etc. :D go for it, man!

First you would need to talk to your head guidance and the principal @ school who would be able to help you with putting things in place. You would need to have supervision over this as well as a place to have it. This is a wonderful thing, my daughter wants the same thing but I have searched and there are no "live" support group in our area either, only online groups, I am trying to change that too. Good luck,
