Trust - it's worth it
15 year old female
I have been using drugs ever since I was 12. I live in the city and it was always easy to get and the pressure of it all found me involved. I only started talking to Kids Helpline when things got too much for me to handle. I had money problems, people threatening me, and the pressure of school and family life.
The first time I called I was scared out of my mind.. Like dude, how awkward talking to a complete random about all your problems. But it was actually really easy. U didn't have someone sitting there staring at you, they didn't know what you looked like, and you could even give a fake name.
They were great. They gave me different ways of looking at things, gave me information about the drugs I was taking, and gave me other numbers and places I could go for support in my local area. I now have a regular counsellor I see and have cut down taking drugs a lot. Give em a call or talk on the web. Trust, it's worth it.
