Living

Learning and working are two important aspects of young people's lives, and you probably get a lot of advice about both of them. But there's a lot more to a full and healthy life than education and careers!

The Living section is all about your life outside of school and work. Money, relationships, sex, drugs, health, housing and everything else that doesn't fit into normal "office hours."

You'll find loads of information in this section on all those topics, and links to other websites where you can learn even more. We've also included a list of outside agencies with freephone lines and support websites in the Who Can I Talk To? section so you know what other help is out there.

If you have questions or need help with any of the issues in this section, you can Ask Sam a question!
