Mary Earps MBE opens up about her childhood worries in a wide ranging interview, with a story she has never shared previously - her experiences of bullying when she first started secondary school. Some children walk around with the weight of the world on their shoulders. That’s why BBC Children in Need are launching ‘The Heaviest Backpack’ to show that these burdens, whether it’s anxiety or problems at home, can weigh children down and follow them everywhere.
