'You are more than a set of grades': Charity reminds students there are 'many paths to success'

Support organisation Turn2Me said the pressure to perform well and the fear of disappointing their parents or getting fewer points than their peers can take a significant toll on mental health.

As thousands of students brace themselves for receiving their Leaving Certificate results this morning, they are again being reminded results do not define them as people but are just a step in their life's journey.

The days and weeks leading up to Friday's results can be extremely stressful and anxious for the students and this can worsen depending on what they see when they open their results.
