Jane Stevens 1/21/144:30 AM

The survey, commissioned by national charity YoungMinds...questioned 2,000 children and young people aged 11 to 25, found:

• More than half of school pupils believe they will be a failure if they don't achieve good exam grades

• A staggering 50 per cent of 11-14 year olds have viewed online porn - with four out of ten of these admitting it affected their relationships with their friends

• Half of youngsters have been bullied

• 40 per cent 11-14 year olds skip meals to stay thin

• And one-third don't know where to turn to get help when they feel depressed or anxious.
