Upset and confused
15 year old female
At the end of 2008 I started becoming upset and confused about a lot of issues concerning my family. I didn't know who I could talk to, I was quite a shy person, I didn't like asking for help.
One day I had a breakdown in class, I couldn't handle it. I was afraid and embarrassed about the situation. When I got home I went on the Kids Helpline website. I was too afraid to give them a call so when I saw that I could email them, I did. I was very nervous about it. I got a reply about 4 days later, I read it and felt relieved that finally someone knew how I felt and what was going on.
I was frightened at first but after a few emails I felt comfortable about emailing the counsellor. We spoke about a lot of different things. In the end we came to the conclusion I should see a counsellor. Just recently I looked back at the emails and I decided its time to talk to someone face to face.
It's the end of 2009 and I have just starting seeing the school counsellor. She is helping me, and if Kids Helpline didn't give me the option to email them I would still be lost and angry and sad.
