0:55:50 > 0:55:57.

0:56:05 > 0:56:07Flight 315C ready for departure.

0:56:49 > 0:56:52So, who wants to see Banana Skins 3?

0:56:52 > 0:56:55- Yes!- That's three.

0:56:55 > 0:56:57And who wants Pia's Journey?

0:56:57 > 0:57:04- Yay! That custard scene's brilliant! - Hang on, Lara hasn't voted.

0:57:04 > 0:57:09Which do you want to see, a young girl's search for her missing mother

0:57:09 > 0:57:12or a lot of blokes falling into vats of custard?

0:57:12 > 0:57:13Custard, custard!

0:57:13 > 0:57:17Er...yeah. Custard, I think.

0:57:17 > 0:57:19But you HATE stupid films!

0:57:19 > 0:57:22- It's not stupid!- It's brilliant!

0:57:22 > 0:57:25- Are you sure?- Mm-hm.

0:57:25 > 0:57:29- OK, then, can everyone do 6pm tomorrow?- Yeah!

0:57:29 > 0:57:32Er...yeah. I suppose so.

0:57:36 > 0:57:38MOTHER: 'So you're still feeling homesick?'

0:57:38 > 0:57:41Yeah. It's horrible.

0:57:43 > 0:57:47It's like there's this cloud hanging over me and it just won't go away.

0:58:00 > 0:58:02And now I've picked this stupid film

0:58:02 > 0:58:06because the one I really wanted to see will make me cry.

0:58:06 > 0:58:08'Everyone cries at soppy films.'

0:58:08 > 0:58:11But what if the others think I'm a crybaby?

0:58:11 > 0:58:15'Have you tried talking to them? Maybe some of them are homesick too.'

0:58:15 > 0:58:17OK, I'll try.

0:58:17 > 0:58:20- Night, Mum. - 'Night, love. Sweet dreams.'

0:58:24 > 0:58:25Lola?

0:58:25 > 0:58:29Oh, Lola, I'm sorry.

0:58:29 > 0:58:35First question - if you were feeling sad, worried or lost, would you...

0:58:35 > 0:58:40A, tell no-one, you'd be too embarrassed?

0:58:40 > 0:58:45B, tell one or two close friends and ask for their support?

0:58:45 > 0:58:50Or C, tell anyone who's interested? Why hide it?

0:58:50 > 0:58:55So, write about a time when you felt sad,

0:58:55 > 0:58:57using lots of descriptive words.

0:58:57 > 0:59:00"Triste" - "sad".

0:59:00 > 0:59:03"Anoranza" - "homesickness".

0:59:03 > 0:59:05This is really hard.

0:59:05 > 0:59:07Just make something up.

0:59:07 > 0:59:10I mean I...miss my mum. I...

0:59:10 > 0:59:12Doesn't she call you?

0:59:12 > 0:59:14Every night!

0:59:14 > 0:59:17But...I can't sleep, and...

0:59:17 > 0:59:20Camomile tea. That'll do the trick.

0:59:20 > 0:59:22But I just miss everyone.

0:59:22 > 0:59:24You just have to be tough.

0:59:24 > 0:59:26When you feel down, think of something else.

0:59:26 > 0:59:28That works for me.

0:59:28 > 0:59:30When I get sad, I think about cake.

0:59:30 > 0:59:33Or lipstick. Or boys!

0:59:33 > 0:59:35Or boys in lipstick eating cake!

0:59:37 > 0:59:39If I get sad, it's awful,

0:59:39 > 0:59:44when I'm playing a computer game and I get really, really close

0:59:44 > 0:59:47and then pow, I'm dead.

0:59:52 > 0:59:54I was sad when my dog died.

0:59:54 > 0:59:57I was here, and there was nothing I could do.

0:59:57 > 1:00:00- I'm getting a dog when I go...home.- Yeah?

1:00:00 > 1:00:04Are you OK? You look like you're crying.

1:00:04 > 1:00:07I'm fine. A bit of a cold.

1:00:09 > 1:00:14- Is she OK? - I...er...think she's homesick.

1:00:14 > 1:00:17No! She loves it here.

1:00:17 > 1:00:19- She's got a cold, that's all.- Lara?

1:00:19 > 1:00:24There's a parcel for you in the school office. OK, todos,

1:00:24 > 1:00:26that's the end of the lesson for today.

1:00:36 > 1:00:38Aren't you going to open it?

1:00:38 > 1:00:41It's just something my mum sent. I'll open it later.

1:00:41 > 1:00:43- No, now!- Show us!

1:00:43 > 1:00:45Hm?

1:00:52 > 1:00:56Ohhh! They're so cute! Can I see?

1:00:56 > 1:00:58NO! They're mine!

1:00:58 > 1:01:03- What's wrong with...- Hm.- The blues?

1:01:03 > 1:01:07The parcel from home? She IS homesick!

1:01:07 > 1:01:11- I told you! - But what can we do to help?

1:01:14 > 1:01:15LARA SNIFFLES

1:01:15 > 1:01:16SHE SIGHS

1:01:19 > 1:01:21Oh!

1:01:23 > 1:01:26You can talk to me if you like.

1:01:26 > 1:01:30- Who are you? - I'm the school counsellor.

1:01:30 > 1:01:33But aren't you for people who are really desperate?

1:01:33 > 1:01:38Some are, some aren't. You can talk to a counsellor any time.

1:01:38 > 1:01:43- But I don't know how!- You could start by knocking on my door.- But...

1:01:43 > 1:01:47OK. You won't tell anyone, though, will you?

1:01:47 > 1:01:51No. But you don't have to be embarrassed about it.

1:01:51 > 1:01:54It's perfectly normal. You'll give it a try?

1:01:54 > 1:01:56Er...OK.

1:01:56 > 1:02:00Great. I'll see you soon, then. Bye!

1:02:02 > 1:02:05Er, excuse me? You left your...

1:02:05 > 1:02:07Oh!

1:02:14 > 1:02:16Second question -

1:02:16 > 1:02:20if you found out a friend was seeing a counsellor, would you...

1:02:20 > 1:02:24A, think they were overreacting?

1:02:24 > 1:02:26B, think, "Good for them -

1:02:26 > 1:02:29"even if I don't understand how they're feeling,

1:02:29 > 1:02:33"everyone is different, and they're getting the help they need"?

1:02:33 > 1:02:38Or C, think, "Great, sorted - everything's back to normal"?

1:02:40 > 1:02:42I could give her this.

1:02:42 > 1:02:44To take her mind off things!

1:02:44 > 1:02:46Do you think the funny film will help?

1:02:46 > 1:02:49Maybe. More than one about a girl missing her mum, anyway.

1:02:49 > 1:02:54Or maybe a film about missing your mum is just what she needs.

1:02:54 > 1:02:57She needs to talk about it. Right?

1:02:57 > 1:02:59Talk about it? Of course!

1:02:59 > 1:03:03And who better to talk to than the school counsellor?

1:03:03 > 1:03:08- Great! I'll go tell Lara. - Remember, she's feeling sad.

1:03:08 > 1:03:10Don't worry, I'll be tactful.

1:03:17 > 1:03:18OK, Lara,

1:03:18 > 1:03:23we know what's wrong with you. And we've worked out a plan.

1:03:23 > 1:03:24You need to see...

1:03:26 > 1:03:29..the school counsellor? Hmm...

1:03:29 > 1:03:33- Nice(!)- We need to get her to the counsellor's office.

1:03:33 > 1:03:38- Or we could just see if she wants to talk to one of us.- Hang on a minute!

1:03:39 > 1:03:42Hmm...

1:03:55 > 1:04:00Hello! Erm, nice weather we're having.

1:04:00 > 1:04:02I mean...

1:04:02 > 1:04:05- ..there's a bit of sunshine. - I've, er...got to go.

1:04:19 > 1:04:23There's something in here about counsellors to the stars!

1:04:23 > 1:04:26Everyone's seeing one these days, you know.

1:04:26 > 1:04:29Sorry, I'm, er...not hungry.

1:04:31 > 1:04:33What? What?!

1:04:41 > 1:04:45'Oh, so what if they see me?

1:04:45 > 1:04:47'Who cares?'

1:04:53 > 1:04:56Hello. Can I help you?

1:04:57 > 1:05:00No! I mean no, thanks. I was just...

1:05:00 > 1:05:04checking your door is...clean.

1:05:06 > 1:05:11Actually, can I have an appointment?

1:05:11 > 1:05:15Of course. I have a space at 10am tomorrow.

1:05:15 > 1:05:21- Tomorrow?- Sorry, it's my first free slot. See you then?

1:05:27 > 1:05:30Hold on, let me try.

1:05:36 > 1:05:42When my dog died, I was really down. I cried a lot.

1:05:42 > 1:05:44Why didn't you tell us?

1:05:44 > 1:05:49I tried. But...everyone thinks I'm just a joker.

1:05:50 > 1:05:54And everyone thinks I should either get my head fixed or go home.

1:05:54 > 1:05:59But I like being here. It's just that I miss my mum, too.

1:06:00 > 1:06:03Gosh! It's a relief to talk.

1:06:03 > 1:06:08Yeah. When my dog died, I talked to the teacher.

1:06:08 > 1:06:12She's nice. And just talking about it made me feel better.

1:06:12 > 1:06:13You're right.

1:06:13 > 1:06:16I just want to tell someone how I feel.

1:06:16 > 1:06:19And how I feel is better already!

1:06:26 > 1:06:29Come on, then, I need to change my vote on the film.

1:06:29 > 1:06:34Ah, Lara, I thought you liked custard!

1:06:48 > 1:06:51Third question - if you were sad,

1:06:51 > 1:06:54do you think talking to someone would...

1:06:54 > 1:06:59A, make no difference, talking doesn't change anything?

1:06:59 > 1:07:05B, help make things better - a problem shared is a problem halved?

1:07:05 > 1:07:10Or C, make your sadness disappear in the blink of an eye?

1:07:10 > 1:07:12If you answered mostly As,

1:07:12 > 1:07:16you might find talking to people you know uncomfortable.

1:07:16 > 1:07:21Well, if you do, you could try ringing a helpline instead.

1:07:21 > 1:07:24If you answered mostly Bs,

1:07:24 > 1:07:25you talk to your friends already

1:07:25 > 1:07:29and you'd see a counsellor if you needed to. Cool.

1:07:29 > 1:07:32And if you answered mostly Cs,

1:07:32 > 1:07:36you believe in talking, which is great, but remember to be patient.

1:07:36 > 1:07:39Problems don't disappear overnight.
