A new Childline report from the NSPCC has revealed that more and more children are contacting the charity for help with anxiety. An increasing number of children and young people are being affected by the problem, with causes ranging from personal family issues to concerns about world affairs such as the EU referendum and the troubles in the Middle East.

first news doesn't make me feel less unhappy because I have lots of things to be unhappy about in senior school. I just started. homework's a rush and I'm even struggling to find time to read first news. I just go to website. I won tickets to see war horse from here but couldn't make it because I was on the flight back from Spain. thanks for understanding.- busy bee

if there are anxious things on the news, the first news says it in a better, and calmer way.

First Neqs doesn't just focus on negatives, but also adds in positives as well, and they always tell the truth. Nothing is twisted to sound worse than it is which helps a lot.

Yes but also no sometimes. It is fantastic but I do not go on it A LOT, I don't even get the paper
heh · 5 years ago
It doesn't actually help me feel less anxious, but when I feel unhappy, I read 1st News to help me calm down
wireskid · 5 years ago
The way they say it on BBC news makes it more frightening, especially with Corona Virus going around but the way they say it in first news makes it less worrying and my friends ask me why I am not worried about Corona and they don't read First News. BBC news would put it like this: Corona Virus has hit the world really badly, but First News would say: Yes Corona Virus has infected the world but as long as we follow guide lines then we will be safer than those who don't. Do you see what I mean?

If yes then put on a comment:
#First News Helps Me A Lot

i picked no (no offence) because all the bad things i read - it makes me more anxious that it is going to happen to me.
opalstar · 4 years ago
Yes! It really does. If for example you heard something on TV your not sure about then First News puts it in a much simpler format for you
