Ms Sarah Hughes:

We did not delve into that within the survey but if one looks at the issue of perfectionism, there is a sense of people not wanting to admit to their peers that they are struggling so much. That was an interesting finding because on the flip side, there were a lot of people who wanted more information to build their confidence in how to support a friend. It goes one direction, but not the other direction in that everybody is prepared to help their friends but nobody wants their friends to know that they are suffering themselves.
