Exam stress sees spike in Childline counselling sessions
In the last two years, there has been a 21 per cent rise in Childline counselling sessions for young people worried about exam results.
In total there were 1,133 counselling sessions related to concerns about exam results in 2016-17.
The rise was “particularly dramatic” among 16 to 18-year-olds - with Childline sessions up 68 per cent in the last two years.
More than a quarter of all counselling sessions took place in August, when GCSE and A-Level results are released.
The NSPCC, which runs Childline, has issued advice to parents urging that they do not place too much pressure on children to get certain results.
Peter Wanless, NSPCC chief executive, commented: “We’d encourage young people not to be disheartened if they don’t get the results they hoped for.
“It’s important they remember that they have options and that talking to a friend or trusted adult can help them see this clearly.
“Childline is also here 24/7 to listen to any young person worried about their results and needing confidential support and advice”.
