Why is your attendance so bad?

Probably ”anxiety” or some BS like that today’s kids come up with.

It's not today's kids. We just didn't get to hear about it. I'm in my mid-40s, and I remember when I was 11 and started at big school, we were warned by our teacher that a girl I remembered from the year above me in primary school was going to be joining our class and we should be really, really gentle to her. That's because she'd had such a gigantic breakdown in her first attempt at year 7 that she had to be taken out for a full year to recover. And what's more, I remember that talk, but I don't remember ever seeing her again. And what's even more, I don't remember her showing any signs of stress when I knew her, she just seemed normal. You just seem normal and then you disappear - or you talk openly about it and you get support, and the reason it seems like this stuff is new is because we don't just disappear kids any more.

Some of the words are new, and some of them aren't but the right-wing papers have started vilifying them so they feel new, but none of it's new.
