Supporting young people as they prepare for exam results

As young people across the region prepare to receive their A-Level and GCSE results, it can be a tough time for teenagers.

- By Darren Worth Childline senior supervisor, North of England

Our Childline counsellors hear from young people concerned about the impact of their results on their mental health or pressure to achieve high grades.

Results day and the period running up to it can be such a tricky time for young people, as they face anxiety and uncertainty before and after they receive their results.

They also may experience trouble sleeping, low mood, a lack of self-confidence and in some cases suicidal thoughts and feelings.
