Your say: How young people feel about leaving school

“

  • I feel excited!

  • Worried – what’s next? Am I prepared?

  • No parents telling me what to do!

  • I don’t want to leave school – I’m pretending it’s not going to happen.

  • It’ll be good to feel in control of my life – services will talk to me, not my mum.

  •  Bit overwhelmed about all these changes in my life.

  • Looking forward to earning my own money.
