Following massive demonstrations in neighboring Belarus, the Lithuanian border has been flooded with Belarusian students fleeing Europe's longest-serving dictator Lukashenko.

The Spanish city of Ceuta was flooded by thousands of Moroccan boys in May. Climbing over the fence and swimming they entered Spain.

He does his best to get his residence permit by working a lot and not being noticed.

Of all European young people, the British are the least happy. Parents and schools can request a self-harm kit, a small box with information and tips that should help if a child wants to harm themselves. Margriet talks to Mia, a young ambulance worker in training. She herself was taken away by ambulance a few years ago, completely freaked out. The work helps her fight her own demons. The young student Harrison committed suicide ten months ago because he could no longer handle the pressure. Margriet meets his sister and his best friend.
