hi luna, I need to talk to a teacher about my school anxiety but I don't know how to word it. how do I tell my teachers I'm struggling? x 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Heya, finding the words can feel like the hardest part 🫶

You could ask to speak to a teacher privately after class, or send an email if saying it out loud feels too difficult.

You could say, “Could we talk privately when you have time?

I’ve been struggling with anxiety at school and would really appreciate some support.”

You don’t have to share more detail than you’re comfortable with.

You could also make a short list of anything that might help, but it’s okay if you don’t have solutions yet.

Your teacher may be able to suggest ways to manage the anxiety or make changes that help you feel more comfortable at school ✨

If this is happening regularly, you feel you can’t cope, or you just need someone to talk to, you could speak to a doctor.

You can also text “SHOUT” to 85258 for Shout Crisis Text Line, or call the mental health charity Mind for free on 0300 123 3393.

Hope this makes starting the conversation a little easier 🌟
