Hello and thanks for your letter. 

Lots of young people tell me they are scared about moving schools.  It’s a big change and changes can be a bit scary however they can also be a bit exciting too. Do you have any friends that are going to high school with you?

Perhaps you could try speaking to them and see how they feel about the move.  You could do a positives and negatives list and try to focus on the positives. 

Remember when you do start, other people in your class may be feeling the same as you, so try talking to the new people you meet and find out how they are feeling. 

It may help to talk to someone else who has already experienced this, maybe a sister, brother or friend or even some of the young people that use the message boards. 

Remember if you want to talk about this you can also speak to a counsellor at ChildLine, 121 or by phone on 08001111

Take care

Sam
