ABOUT THE THEME

A butterfly only becomes a butterfly after it has gone through an amazing transformation. It starts out as a caterpillar and then progresses through a series of different stages that are literally life-changing. Humans also go through a similar change as they move towards being an adult. We leave behind the stuff of our childhood and take up the challenges of adulthood. You get to choose a lot of the changes yourself: friends; clothes; subjects you study at school. But some changes happen that you cannot control, like your parents separating, or your having to move to a different home or attending a different school and having new people to get on with. So, what are you like at handling change?
