ABSTRACT
A few years ago, a 12-year-old called Frankie was asked how they felt about the climate crisis. That was me, and I am now 18 years old. Back then my response was ‘Arghhhh’ or something like that, not really an answer but it was the best way I knew of expressing how I felt. When talking about the climate crisis, sometimes the sheer weight of the topic can be overwhelming, and I think that 12-year-old me expressed that in a way that some people can relate to. But now I have a different outlook, back then I said, ‘it's hard to explain’, and to some extent that is still true, but since then I’ve found a way of dealing with those emotions in what is for me a productive way, instead of just panicking.
