‼️Adolescence‼️
It seems our actors/media need to grab the headlines with emotive dramas to get much needed attention and focus of the issues faced by our children & young people. However, if it helps, all to the good! But….

This story is too common.

“Growing up, I was always told that if I worked hard at school and got a degree, the world was my oyster. So I did, excelling at high school with my GCSE's, A Levels and obtaining a first class degree a couple of years ago. I now look forwards and see that this really isn't the case at all. Caught between fears over climate change, the threat of war, recession after recession hanging over me, it's hard to feel hopeful for the future.”

No young person should feel hopeless about the future and it shouldn’t just on them to find a way through. But the good news is, in community there is power. And together, we can ease the pressure on young people and make the world less heavy. Don't let young people face this alone.
