Talking to someone is of great help when you are worried, scared or don't know what to do next.
◆ Who should you talk to? Talk to someone you trust. They could be your parents, friends, teachers, or other people you trust. So long as you are comfortable and feel safe with them, you can talk to them.
He or she can help you make a plan to solve your problems.
◆ How should you talk about your feelings? First, find a quiet and private place to talk. If it's hard to start talking, you can write something down and give it to them. Try to give examples so that they can really understand what you are trying to tell them.
◆ What should you talk about? If it's hard to talk about the problems, let the person know you're having a hard time. They can help by asking questions and giving you answer. Try not to leave anything out, even if you think it might get someone in trouble.
