Wimbledon High Students

Anna and Millie are students at Wimbledon High who take part in the school’s peer counselling project. They help advise younger girls on how to cope with the pressures around them. That pressure can come from outside: Anna and Millie say that looking good and body image are big concerns among some girls. The pressure comes from within as well: the girls want to achieve their goals and do well at school. Anna and Millie hope they can advise their younger peers how to cope and to get greater perspective.
