Jani discloses that she has begun to hear voices in her mind. She says they seem to get 'louder when she is at school, and particularly after stressful situations. Jani is starting to feel scared about going to school and is afraid of what she might do if the voices continue.
Jani does not want her family to know about the voices as she thinks they won't understand what she is going through.
