Junior Cert and Leaving Cert are one of the biggest common sources of stress in the lives of young people, research from youth mental health charity Jigsaw has revealed.
The pressure of exams are leading many teens to feel increasingly anxious and stressed. The charity has offered some top tips and advice to help parents and guardians give support with exam stress.
Jigsaw's Mike Mansfield said: “Every day in our local services, online sessions and through our research, we hear about how they are feeling increasingly anxious and depressed. One thing that they tell us is contributing to this is the pressure of exams, particularly the Junior and Leaving Cert."
