THE ChildLine charity said it is ready to offer help and advice to Lancashire teenagers who are feeling anxious about their exams.

Christine Mellor, the charity’s area manager for the North West, said: "The exam period can be a very stressful and anxious time for young people. We hear from lots of young people each year who are worried or panicking about their exams and revision.

“This can affect them in a variety of ways and can leave them unable to eat, sleep or function normally. We want to let them know that they are not alone and that ChildLine is here to listen to them.”
