My parents divorced and it changed my life

After years of suffering, we finally made Georgia smile.

   

My parents divorced and it changed my life

Georgia, 13

"I was at school every day for six hours yet I barely smiled."

I couldn't talk to my friends about anything - they didn't understand. My parents divorced and it changed my life, and not for the better. I was forced to stay at my dad's house. He was never there. It hurt because he just couldn't be bothered with me. I failed nearly all my assessment pieces, all I felt was stress, stress, stress!

I heard about Kids Helpline, though at first I refused to talk to anyone!

I finally jumped onto the Kids Helpline website and I realised that I'm not the only person suffering. I realised that there are people out there willing to help me. Thanks to Kids Helpline, I'm smiling heaps more than I used to!
