There are probably lots of people that you can talk to around you, for example:

• Your parents or a family member
• Grandparents
• A trusted friend
• A teacher
• School counsellor
• Your GP, if you make an appointment they should be able to refer you to someone that you can talk to
• A helpline

It is important if you talk to someone that you make sure you can trust them. It is ok to ask for help whether you are a boy or a girl.
