The mother of a teenager who took his own life after not getting the exam grades he wanted has urged other young people to talk about their worries.
Max Turton died on 28 August last year, just a few days after picking up his GCSE results. He was 16.
Katie Turton, who lives in Telford, said on Friday, World Mental Health Day: “Max was incredibly sensitive and independent and I think he internalised his feelings and did not want to be a burden on anyone.”
Since Max’s death, friends and family have raised about £100,000 for charity in his memory.
