You could even take up a new hobby, it could be something that you've always wanted to do like learning magic tricks, singing or gardening.
Feeling worried
You may have mixed feelings about the summer holidays. There may be things you like and things you’re worried about.
The summer holidays may feel fun but they can also feel lonely for some people. It may be hard not to see your school friends as much and there could also be some teachers that you miss, especially if they supported you. Please remember that you’re never alone and you can always talk to Childline any time you want to.
You're not alone

Remember
However you’re feeling, you’re never alone. There’s always help there for you. You can talk to Childline or a safe adult any time. Remember that you deserve to feel happy and safe. No problem is too big or too small.
