Friday 25 May – Hi everyone, thank you for your letters this past week. I just wanted to let you know that I read every single letter that you send to me, even if I'm not able to answer them all. I've published a few of your letters on this page - if you can't see your letter here, try looking in the section which you wrote it in. I try and respond to as many of your letters as possible.
This week I'd like to hear from you if you're worried about a friend. Lots of you have written to me about friends who are having problems at home, or are feeling down or stressed. It can be hard to see someone you care about go through a difficult time. It really helps to talk to about what's happened so you can think of ways to support your friend and look after yourself too. So please send me a letter- I'd love to hear from you.
Keep sending me your letters about any issue that you are worried about, and I will do my best to help. I can't answer every letter, but please do have a look at the letters and replies about other issues and worries you have, as these can sometimes help.
Remember not to post any personal details like your full name, school or email address in your letter, as these could identify you.
Take care
Sam
