Hey do u have any advice???

I'm in y10 (15y/o), starting GCSE content at school, but my life isn't going great rn... I've been having panic attacks and ppl keep dumping their problems on me. These ppl are younger than me and I cant tell them that I have my own stuff to deal with (and I'm already struggling with that) without having further questions asked.
What do I do? I can't focus in lessons or on HW and I can't tell teachers the reason why my HW is sometimes overdue because I have serious trust issues from unresolved trauma from when I was 12-13. Any suggestions would be rly helpful...

Hey! first of all I'm really sorry that you are feeling this way. This is way too much for a 15 year old. You are not meant to carry everyone else's problems and suffer because you can't reply to them at some point. It's fine to set boundaries with them even if they are younger than you. You don't need to explain everything to them, just a 'I'm busy right now I'll talk to you when I'm free' is enough for a while to have your own peace of mind. And about school work, you don't need to explain your whole story to them, you can say, 'I've been struggling with some issues/stress lately, so please give me some time'. They might try to call your parents for that, but it will be fine as you are a kid and they will definitely understand it. But honestly you also deserve support from a good adult or a teacher or a counsellor or a closest friend, relative or someone who you trust right now. It can make a huge difference even if you won't like it at first. So your younger friends might make you feel guilty if you say no or delay helping their problems, but looking after yourself first is more important than solving other's problems.Also try this method for some weeks it might help you- get up in the morning sit on your bed in a comfortable way and do some meditation for some minutes closing your eyes and forgetting about everything else. then after that try to take a shower so you will feel refreshed then do your other daily work. It will take some time to improve the state you are in right now, but that's totally fine. So I hope this finds helpful and I hope you overcome this as quickly as possible. Stay strong!!!

Hey thanks I really appreciate that. Most of them are telling me about being abused at home and making me swear not to tell anybody. I feel like I really need to be telling teachers but I don't want to lose them as friends... do you have any advice for that?

Hey, just to jump in here, it sounds like you’re having to deal with some very heavy things. If your friends are struggling with serious things at home like abuse could you perhaps recommend they call Childline? Or they can also send a message if they don’t want to talk by phone. It’s anonymous and they will be able to give proper advise on situations like that as they are experienced in helping kids who experience abuse. https://www.childline.org.uk
About your panic attacks have you talked to your parents/ family about this? It could be worth going to the doctor because even if it is just a temporary issue, it means the doctor could give you a note to say you are having some anxiety / mental health issues and then the teachers would give you an extension on your homework hopefully.

Hey thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely reccomend childline to them. Every time I have a panic attack my parents say things like 'don't be so dramatic' and 'stop pretending'. I don't think it would be possible for me to book a GP appointment without their permission. They don't believe in mental health ilness...
Also it's not a temporary issue because
