I worried about making the wrong decision
Rachel was struggling to decide what to do when she finished school.
"Thanks Kids Helpline - you rock!"

"I had no idea what I wanted to do and it was getting me down."
In year 12 I had been struggling to keep up with study and a part time job. The pressure was getting to me and I got stressed and depressed. I had to decide what I wanted to do after school - there was so much pressure to get into the courses that interested me. A lot of my friends seemed really sure about what they wanted to do.
I didn't really know what I was good at. I was just worried about making the wrong decision.Talking to Kids Helpline has been really great. The counsellor helped me feel good about finishing year 12, even if I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I feel less stressed about it all now.
