Emotional Wealth
It is very common and perfectly natural for young people to struggle with how they feel at times. You may be experiencing problems with friends, family or school, and become anxious, depressed, angry or scared. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone and there are lots of people who will listen in school. Your Tutor, favourite Teacher, Head of House, Mr Wharam, Mrs Neill or Ms Banner will make time for you if you need help, but if you find it difficult to talk to people you know, have a look at the links below which might help.
