Struggling to cope with the new school term? Readers offer their best tips on making the most of school…
Rachael says:
Count down the weeks to the next holiday… the weeks will go faster than you think! Help the time go faster by signing up for fun activities after school or at the weekends - join a new club or arrange to see friends - and stay organized with homework and revision. If you're chaotic about study, you'll feel like you're not on top of things and it will just add to the miserable feeling. Finally, take time out after school or at weekends to chill a little - we all need that sometimes.

School can be fun if you make an effort to make it memorable; if you're finding it hard to get back into the swing of things, try not to think about it too much and stay busy. The time will go faster than you think! Focus on your favourite subject and make the most of your friends… if you get on well with classmates, arrange to see them at weekends too; the friendships will deepen!
Amber says:
Don't think of school as a chore - it's a chance to learn and have fun! You get to see your friends and take classes with them; if you don't know anyone in your classes, see that as a chance to get to know someone new! I have struggled with school in the past and worrying doesn't help… try looking for the positives with each subject and make the most of it!
ART - have fun drawing and getting creative...
ENGLISH - learn how to write and read awesome stories...
SCIENCE - find out how the world and everything in it works...
HISTORY - learn about our ancestors and see how lucky we are in the 21st century...
DT - create amazing, practical things...
MUSIC - express yourself in sound and song...
PE - a fun way to get fit…
DRAMA - recreate your fave movie scenes…
Enjoy school, you'll miss it when you leave!

I used to not enjoy school at all, and I found it very hard to make friends. I wasn't bullied, but I felt so miserable, like I didn't fit in. Then we had a student teacher I really liked, and she talked to me about making the most of school and taking charge of your own life, and it changed my approach. I started getting more involved with things. First drama club, which she was running; then netball and chess club. I made some new friends and together we decided to launch a film club, and that has been brilliant and helped us get to know kids from other schools as we work with other young people in the region now. That student teacher has long gone, but she did me a huge favour and I wonder now what I found so difficult about school. I think I was shy and that meant I was often on the sidelines. Now I am much more involved in things and more confident, and if something isn't happening, I am happy to be the one to make it happen - like getting a group together to organise a Christmas prom, for example. You only get one shot at school… make it count!
