Meet Jessica

My name is Jessica, and I am 15 years old. I go to school full-time and really enjoy arts and drama.

When I first meet people, I am very shy and anxious, but once I get to know them, I am funny and chatty. I have a very good sense of humour and enjoy a bit of banter. I also love baking, especially cakes.

Creativity is important to me, and I enjoy drawing, painting, and writing. I can spend a long time on these activities. I also like knowing the rules within the home and having clear boundaries in place.

I get on well with younger children and have recently started horse riding, which I really enjoy. I also like going into town for lunch and sometimes meeting up with friends.

How to Support Me

I need a lot of reassurance as I often feel very anxious and worried. It helps when I am given space to deal with my emotions and when people are good listeners who try to understand where my concerns or feelings are coming from.

Clear communication and boundaries are important to me. I also find it helpful when instructions are broken down in a way that makes them easier to follow.

What Is Important to Me

My family means a lot to me, and I enjoy seeing them regularly. My friends at school, are also very important, and I love going out for lunch or into town with them.

In my free time, I like to relax in my bedroom watching Netflix. I also really enjoy horse riding and would love to continue with it. Encouragement to try new activities is something I appreciate, as I like exploring new interests.
