Dealing with stress!

13 year old female

dealing with stressI'm a 13 year old girl, who is dealing with stress! I go to school everyday for 6 hours and I barely smile. I can't talk to my friends because they won't understand. My parents divorced and my life has changed.

I live with my mum and my younger brother and every weekend we must go and stay with my dad. We barely see him because he is always out. It hurts that I'm forced to see him and he doesn't give us the time of day. This really upsets me. I have seen school counsellors and they were no help. Stress! Stress! Stress!

Exams and assignments came up and I failed nearly all of them because of my lack of time management and stress. I heard about Kids Helpline - at first I refused to talk to anyone! It's been 3 years and I've only talked to my trusted older cousin and primary school friend. I refused to talk to strangers about my feelings, but, I jumped on kidshelpline.com.au and I realised that I'm not the only person suffering. I realised that there ARE people out there willing to help me. Thankyou Kids Helpline... you've made one 13 year old girl smile for once!
