A survey has found 98% of parents in the UK said they suffered “extreme grief” after their teenagers left home for university this year, now we’d like to hear from young people.

After a year and a half of being at home due to the pandemic, we would like to know how you are feeling about leaving home for the first time?

Do you think the pandemic has had an effect on how you feel about being away from your family home?
