My Year 7 Life
The most highly anticipated year of a student's life is also the one that can change the course of their adult psychology forever - the transition into Year 7. Psychologists have discovered that the way we navigate the change from Top Dog to Small Fish affects how successfully we navigate our entire lives, making the finding of new friends, dealing with new teachers and surviving puberty critically important. In My Year 7 Life, 16 diverse kids from around the country were given cameras to document their transition from primary school to high school. The series goes straight to the source, getting first hand accounts of monumental changes taking place over their entire first year of high school. Through them we'll discover just how much homework grown ups still have to do in order to relieve the stress and anxiety around a year that even people who loved high school remember as hard.
