If you are not feeling good about things in your life, it's helpful to spend time trying to work out what is causing the difficult feelings.

Sometimes it is obvious, for example if someone you care about has died, or your parents are separating, or you are being bullied. Other times it may not be so clear.

Talking to friends or to adults you trust such as your parents or a teacher is always a good place to start. Or your school might have a counselling service you could access.

But if this feels difficult there are some organisations that you can talk to over the phone or online such as the Samaritans, ChildLine or Young Minds.

If things continue to be difficult or you can't manage on your own, it is possible to get help from a therapist. You will need to go through your family doctor to do this. He or she will be able to help you find help for your problems.
