On 10th<\/sup> October 2022 we will be celebrating World Mental Health Day, and this year the theme is to make mental health everyone\u2019s number one priority.\u00a0 Unfortunately, for many of us, our mental health often takes a back seat in our day to day lives, in much the same way as our physical health can.\u00a0 When you\u2019re worrying about getting to school on time, completing that coursework, studying for exams and generally trying to cope with teenage life it\u2019s easy to see why.\u00a0 The reality is the vast majority of us take our mental health for granted \u2013 if we feel OK, then everything\u2019s fine.\u00a0 It\u2019s only when things start to go wrong, we feel stressed, overwhelmed and \u201cdown\u201d, that we may realise there\u2019s an issue.<\/p>\n

Did you know that around 75% of adults<\/a> had their first episode of mental health illness before they reached the age of 25?\u00a0 For many of those, they were students at the time.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019ve just started High School, are studying for your GCSEs, A Levels or have just embarked on your University career \u2013 being a student can be a very challenging and emotionally charged period of your life.<\/p>\n

What are some of the biggest challenges you\u2019re likely to face, and how can you try to handle them calmly?\u00a0 Here at Tutorspot we\u2019ve put together some ideas to keep you focussed.<\/p>\n

\"Tutor<\/p>\n

Meeting new people<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve just moved to a new school, college or University, then you\u2019re going to be faced with the opportunity to meet lots of new people.\u00a0 This might be fellow students or new teachers; all of which can be exciting, but also a little overwhelming.<\/p>\n

They key thing to remember is that, over time, you will get used to all the changes you\u2019re experiencing.\u00a0 Take it slow, and don\u2019t force yourself too far out of your comfort zone.\u00a0 Try not to hide away if you\u2019re feeling anxious, but equally don\u2019t get press-ganged into joining every after-school group, club or society.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Deadlines and exams<\/h3>\n

Transitioning to the next stage of your educational journey often means a step up in pressure.\u00a0 Lessons are likely to cover more complex topics and in far more detail than you\u2019ve done before.\u00a0 Deadlines may be shorter and the knowledge you\u2019re meant to display may be more in depth.\u00a0 If you\u2019re working towards specific qualifications, the pressure really will feel like it\u2019s mounting when it comes to your performance.<\/p>\n

The good news is there are lots of things you can do to help yourself feel more in control of the situation.\u00a0 Take the time to speak to your teacher and ask them if there are any areas in their subject you should perhaps spend more time concentrating on.\u00a0 It\u2019s really easy for students to get themselves into a mindset where they believe they\u2019re terrible at every aspect of a subject, especially if that subject\u2019s maths or one of the sciences. However, in the vast majority of cases, it really is just one small area that you could do with some extra help on.\u00a0 If you nail that, then you may find you\u2019re able to make a lot of progress very quickly.<\/p>\n

Once you do know what you should be working on, it might be worth considering working with a tutor online<\/a>.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s an A Level tutor<\/a> or a GCSE tutor<\/a>, they will be able to work with you and help you direct your studies according to your own goals.\u00a0 It could be a case that you want to better understand a specific concept, or are struggling to answer particular types of questions.\u00a0 Perhaps you just want to enhance your writing skills, or need to practice mock exams and speed up your answering of questions.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter what your own individual strengths or challenges. If you are studying maths and science for example, your online science tutor<\/a> , online maths tutor<\/a>, online biology tutor<\/a> or physics and maths tutors<\/a> will be able to tailor sessions to suit and support you.<\/p>\n

For many students, the primary problem with their studies is a lack of confidence, rather than a specific lack of knowledge or understanding.\u00a0 Unfortunately, in a class environment it can be challenging, whether through lack of time or concerns of peer reactions to ask questions.\u00a0 Teachers don\u2019t always have the time to follow-up after classes either. However, with a private online tutor<\/a>, you can take all the time you need to ensure you ask all the questions you want to get the knowledge you need. If you are struggling with GCSE Chemistry or Physics, then some chemistry GCSE tuition<\/a> or online science tuition<\/a> with an online physics tutor<\/a> could really help you. With increased confidence, you\u2019re bound to absolutely shine.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Balancing studies with other commitments<\/h3>\n

The older you get, the more demands are likely to be placed on your time.\u00a0 It may be that you play for your school\u2019s football or cricket team.\u00a0 Perhaps you have a part time job at the weekends, or need to help look after a member of your family.\u00a0 Whatever the situation, it can be difficult trying to balance everything, which in turn can lead to fears of failure and anxiety about being overstretched.<\/p>\n

When it comes to your studies, the most important thing you can do is break everything down into bite sized chunks.\u00a0 If you know you have an essay deadline in five weeks, it\u2019s vital not to leave it to the night before to start writing it. Instead, schedule time in week one to research the topic, and ensure you have all the information you need.\u00a0 You can then spend weeks two and three drafting your various points and arguments.\u00a0 Week four can be spent actually writing the entire piece, whist week five can be used to review what you\u2019ve written and ensure everything is covered properly.<\/p>\n

Leaving things to last minute, whether that\u2019s coursework or revision for exams, will only lead to increased stressed. Whilst stress is not a mental health problem in itself, it can easily lead to anxiety and depression \u2013 so should always be avoided where possible.<\/p>\n
