Louis Dickson (20) Oldbury

“I have a big issue with my partner because ever since she found out something on her side, she has been pushing me away, ignoring me even. I have been giving her space, trying to help her, trying to make things work, trying to stand by her and I don’t know what to do”

Ellie Stokes (13) Rowley Regis

“I have an issue of fitting in because of the style of music I like and the clothes I wear. Some people stereotype me for being depressed”

Faith Whitehouse (15) Bearwood

“I’m worried about not getting the GCSE grades that I want as I want to get good grades so I can go to university, which is really competitive.”

 
Nikita Gaur (16) West Bromwich

“Getting where I want to in life and how long its going to take. Also the confidence I have to have to get it.”

Chelsea Taylor (16) West Bromwich

“My major concern is teenage pregnancy; a lot of teenagers in my generation are getting pregnant which is making them lose out on their education and teenage lifestyle. I have friends of my own who have become pregnant, I don’t agree with it but I’ll be there to support them.

Shanice Abbot (16) West Bromwich

My major concern is health, a lot of people suffer with weight and find it hard to keep fit and eat the right foods.”

“Not getting a job. I often ask quite stupid questions”

Ben Morris (16) Smethwick

“Everyone is cautious about how they look and whilst I don’t think they should matter much in getting into a relationship, there’s a phrase which goes ‘Looks get’s you with a person, personality keeps you with them.’ Unfortunately. (For me) looks matter.

There’s a lot of pressure to get through you’re A levels. In order to get into university I want to get into, I need 2 A’s and 2 B’s. That’s a lot of work!”

Leah Bargota (15) Tipton

“My health is a concern because I don’t want to be 40 with a millions different diseases cause by my ‘past health.’ And I don’t want to fall out with friends and family because they mean a lot to me.”

Alisha Mand (15) Birmingham

“Concerns in life are to keep good relationships with my friends and family because they are very important to me, also to get good GCSE grades and succeed in my education. I like to make an effort in my appearance because then it makes me feel good about myself because I have a lot of insecurities. I dream about having the “perfect” figure and I need to learn how to feel comfortable in my own skin.”

Danielle Gearing (15) Great Barr

The main worry is getting my exam results and reaching my target grades.  Most of the time people tend to judge you on how you look and your appearance and this can make you feel insecure. I have a lot of insecurities and hate it when people judge me just on the way I look.I am very aware of my weight and how easy it is to gain weight quickly. As a teenager weight is a big issue and sometimes I feel we become too obsessed with having the perfect figure. I need to learn to feel comfortable with who I am and eat healthy if I want to stay a reasonable weight.

Grace Wright (15) Great Barr

My health concerns me because I tend to eat a lot of junk food, and I don’t eat my five-a-day, which can’t be good for me. My education and problems at school worry me, because I don’t pay enough attention in class and some of my teachers can’t control the class, which means we don’t learn enough anyway. I also can’t revise; I find it really hard to do. I’m worried about my appearance and weight because I have a lot of insecurities and don’t appreciate when people point them out.  I’m a bit worried that I won’t get the GCSE’s and qualifications that I need when I finish school, which then means I won’t get the job I want.
