CoPing WiTH THE Work?
You may eel you have a lot o juggling
to do because o all the subjects you
are taking at school. Some people fnd
homework a big challenge.
This might be because:
You have to get used to working on your
own and sometimes its boring
You might not have a quiet place to work
Your parents or carers can have
dierent ideas rom you about how you
organise your time
You may eel your homework is taking
so long you dont have time to do
anything else
I youre fnding the work difcult, talk to
one o your teachers. Most teachers wouldrather hear about any problems youre
having. Your parents or carers may also
be able to help and i necessary talk to
teachers or you.

Taking TEsTs and ExaMs
Sometimes we all eel under a lot o
pressure. You might fnd you work too
much, or not enough. Its important to get
the balance right.
Knowing how much revision to do can
be hard. It can also be difcult knowing
how to revise.
Dont believe everything other people say
theyre doing. Some people say I havent
revised when theyve been working a lot.They may be doing a lot less or more than
they say.

FriEnds
Everyone worries about making riends
even though they may look confdent.
Some people have lots o riends others
are happy with one or two. I you eel youdont have any it can be very lonely. It is
also very common or riends to all out.
rememe:
Its easy to think that no-one likes you
i you dont talk to people they might
think you dont like them
Sometimes you might eel dierent to
other people
People can be on their own or all
sorts o reasons sometimes through
choice, sometimes not. It doesnt
mean they arent nice or un to be with,or cant be a good riend

When you eel lonely it can seem like
everyone has riends apart rom you. It
can make you eel bad about yoursel,
even though you might know deep down
you are nice. Why not try some these...
Invite someone you think might be nice
to sit next to you
Smile, be riendly and show an interest
in others
Talk to someone you dont usually talk to
Join a school club its easier to makeriends i youre doing something you
dont have to talk all the time, and they
might like the same things you do
Join a youth club or something you like
outside school. This can help you make
other riends which can be useul i you
all out with people at school

Most people want to ft in with the crowd
have similar clothes, CDs, computer
games, or go to the same places.
Sometimes you might not have enough
money, or want to do something dierent
to other people. Getting the balance rightcan be difcult. Deciding whether to join in
with something you dont eel comortable
with can be very hard.
