'A video encouraging men and boys to be open with their emotions has been created by students and staff at a school.

The film, made at Clevedon School in North Somerset, warns against toxic masculinity in society, a term that refers to a set of behaviours and attitudes that can be damaging to mental health.

"From a young age, boys are taught that to cry is weakness; to be vulnerable is shameful; to express their emotions other than anger is to lose their masculinity," staff say in the video.'
