Education is a vital part of everyones life. Many people go through stages
where learning is difficult. It may be due to worries outside school or
problems with other pupils such as bullying or even a problem with a teacher.
Whatever the reason, don't try to keep it all to
yourself. Talk to your friends, parents, teachers or youth worker
about it. Sometimes just talking a problem through is enough but other
times the help of someone who is used to helping people cope with various
problems is invaluable.
It is often easier to talk if you know no - one else will be told ...
in other words if it will be kept confidential. Most professionals know
the value of this but there are rules so you should be sure to ask about
it first. Some schools and colleges have their own counsellors. All
secondary schools have special teachers or a school nurse you can talk
to. If you like they can arrange for you to see a counsellor who
will be understanding and able to help. If you feel
too frightened or unable to talk to anyone you know, phone one of the
