Your emotional and mental health is just as important as your physical health. Mental health refers to your thoughts and feelings and how you react to others and different situations.
Most of the time we can cope with what life throws at us, at other times we need some support. If you feel like you're not coping with things or are finding situations difficult to deal with, then it is best to talk to someone you trust. This could be a family member, teacher or school nurse. Sometimes just knowing someone is listening to you can be a step forward in making a situation become clearer and more positive.
