Ahmed speaks up: "What if all the studying in secondary school gets too hard?" You think hard for a moment before choosing your reply: [[`"Secondary isn't all about studying. Sports or social life might be where you get the most satisfaction."`|Classroom][$StudyingDifficultAnswered to true; $UnansweredQuestions to $UnansweredQuestions - 1]] [[`"Your secondary school will have supports for students who find studying difficult, so there will always be places you can ask for any kind of help.

"I'm worried I won't fit in at my new school," says Deirdre quietly. You think for a moment before replying: [[`"Secondary school is a time when people try on different identities.

It's okay if you find you fit in better with relations, neighbours, old friends or online."`|Classroom][$FittingInAnswered to true; $UnansweredQuestions to $UnansweredQuestions - 1]]
