Everyone needs help, but asking can be tough. You might feel embarrassed or afraid of rejection. Don't worry! Once you figure out what you need, you can make a polite and organized request.
·Make a list of your needs
It's normal to feel anxious in general and just want some help..For example, maybe you've recently had an injury and need a lot of help just to get things done. Your list might look like this: go to school; do homework; get chores done; get help with sadness.
·Make a list of people who can help
While it might seem disappointing to ask for help, remember that there are many people in your life who will be very happy to help you. Start with family and close friends and then think about other parts of your network..
·Choose the right time to talk
Don't ask for help when someone is obviously busy or lost in thought. For example, avoid asking your teacher about homework as they start class.. If unsure, just ask: "I'd love to ask for your help, and is there a time that's good for you to talk?"
·Make the request in a positive way
.Instead, it will help if you ask in a different way. For example, don't tell your teacher, "I'm so upset! I can't do my homework!" Instead, say, "Could I have extra time to finish this homework?"
·.
Even though you might feel embarrassed that you needed help, don't pretend like it never happened. Directly express thanks for what the other per on did for you shortly after receiving help. If your teacher stayed after class to go over your paper with you, say, "Thanks for staying, I appreciate your time."
