6. So if you have young people in your life PLEASE be aware.
It’s easy for us to look back and think it wasn’t everything but to them it really can be.
And with the state of the world and the mental health crisis, you need to be aware.

5. It put me in a really bad place but I wish someone had shown me it wasn’t the end of the world.
It didn’t mean my life was over.
It didn’t mean that I’d be better off dead.
It worries me that this will be happening to other pupils right now.

4. I knew I wouldn’t make the first 5 as I had failed AS levels. But the second I thought I had a chance.
There was NO wellbeing support.
EVERYONE was disappointed in me and made it known.
I thought the world was over because school is everything and the pressure is insomantable.

3. 5 GCSEs. No AS levels bcos they were predicted (COVID). I’d been kicked out of sixth form and moved back to my old school late in the year, so didn’t have enough to get any grades.
However Alevels I got 2A*s 2As. In year 13 I finally started getting my life back.

2. My attendance remained low. Taken out of mainstream education. I cried all day to be honest. It wasn’t understood. I did my work in a corner as I cried.
After all I was 16 and just been handed what I thought was a death sentence. I needed help.

1. I was 16 when I was told I had a brain tumour.
On the same day as my GCSE maths exam. I had to go back to school to sit the exam straight after.I failed the rest of my GCSEs and had to resit year 11 as no longer attended school.
I was an A* student & head girl until that day.
