The world can be can be exciting, fun, a challenge, but for some young people it might also be frightening, lonely or depressing. You could feel under pressure from your family, friends, everybody! Your experiences, good or bad, will affect your attitudes and the decisions you make when you’re older.
We want you to make the most of the opportunities open to you and we can provide support if things get tough. Your council and the other organisations on this page can offer you lots of information and advice, so take advantage of it.
