Hi and thanks for your comments

Many young people are stressing over exams at the moment so you are not alone with this. There are a lot of support websites to help with exams and revision.Talking to your teacher also about your worries might help ease some of your concerns.

Have a look at our advice about homework and exams which I hope will help.

If not then have a look at www.thesite.org  this provides advice and information in dealing with exam issues.

Also try placing a post on the schools ChildLine message boards. Other ChildLine users will give you support and help with this.

Take care and good luck
