PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP
There may
be times that you find yourself in a difficult situation and you
aren't sure what to do. You may try and talk with friends but they
may not have the answers that are right for you. The best bet
would be to go to your parents. But if that isn't something you
either can or want to do, than there are other people who may be
able to help you.
In most every school, there is a nurse and even a school
counselor. They are terrific people to go to and often have helped
other kids in similar situations. Or you may want to talk with
another adult you are close with, like a teacher, a relative, or a
friend's parent. Sometimes though even talking with these
people may be tough and so there are some places you may want to
call to talk with someone over the phone.
