Watch the film if you’re feeling anxious about school or you’re getting panic attacks in class. Remember you’re not alone, and help is out there.
What else can I do if I’m finding it hard to cope with school?
Making friends at your new school can be hard. It can be scary to go up to someone you don’t know, and you might worry that you don’t fit in.
Give it time, and try to find people who like the same things as you.
