Asking for help

It's OK to ask for help

It’s OK to find things hard — everyone does sometimes.

Talking about it helps

Sometimes things can feel big or confusing. You don’t have to handle everything on your own.
It’s always OK to talk to someone — even if it feels small, embarrassing, or scary.
Talking is the first step to feeling better.

Who to talk to

Try a trusted adult — someone who listens, cares, and makes you feel safe.
That could be a parent, carer, teacher, school nurse, neighbour, coach, or club leader.
You can also talk online to people who are there to help — like Childline or Kooth
