What to do if you are worried
It may sound simple, but if you are worried about anything the best thing you can do is talk to someone you trust. This could be a:
- Friend
- Parent/carer
- Teacher
- Youth worker
- Social worker
They may not always know exactly what to do, but if they are an adult they can find out and help you. Just talking to someone can help you realise whether your worry is little and may just sort its self out in time, or whether it is a big worry, which means you need to do something about it as it is not going to get better until you do. Friends can be useful at helping you decide if your problem is big or small and they can help you tell an adult if you need to.
You can also talk to ChildLine about anything. No problem is too big or too small.
