School Mates

School can be a great time in your life. You get to socialise with and meet many people of your own age and everyone is mixed up together. Some people can have a large group of friends, others can have one or two close friends that they like to hang around with.

Sometimes school can be really tough, it may be the case that you do not get on with others in your class or in your year at school. Maybe you have fallen out with your friends or you just don’t seem to be able to connect with others. You might have problems with homework or exams or with your teachers. It’s normal to go through more difficult times, but if you’re feeling upset or worried about something in school you have the right to talk about what’s going on.

Your teachers, parents, the principal, guidance counselors are all there to make sure you’re safe and happy in school. You have the right to talk to them about what’s going on for you and work through any difficulties you’re finding.
