For help and advice about coping with anxiety, you can visit the beat exam stress page in the Explore section. You can also get support from other young people on the ChildLine message boards.
Worryingly in the survey results, some of you said you coped with anxiety by smoking, taking drugs and self-harming. You might feel that this is the only way you can cope with these negative emotions but it doesn’t have to be.
Our counsellors are trained in these sorts of problems and are not easily shocked. They won’t ever judge you. Instead, they will listen to you and try and help you out.
