The summer holidays aren't the same for everyone. You might be excited for some time off, or you might be worrying about something that might happen or how you will cope.

You can use our Childline website to:
⭐talk to a Childline counsellor
⭐use the mood journal to track how things are going
⭐share how you are feeling on the message boards
⭐play one of our games

The summer holidays can be a great but some young people can feel lonely during the holidays, or find it difficult to cope with change in their routine.
