We can exclusively reveal that there has been a rise this year in the number of young people crying out for help with stress and exams. The statistics from ChildLine haven't been published yet - but they have given us an exclusive look at them. And they have already had more than the 2,400 calls they got last year. Darren Worth is from ChildLine and told us: “We know that a lot of young people feel under pressure to get certain grades. “Most young people are either looking for someone to talk to about it or they’re looking for a bit of advice, a bit of support or a bit of help to get them through the time that’s really difficult for them.”
