Question

ChildLine 

I tried to ring up childline but when I get put through I don't have the confidence to say anything. And besides my problem isn't at all like the ones they deal with. It's about me growing up, not about alchohol or drugs.

Can I ring up about my problem or would it be too small?

Hi there

Thanks for writing to me, the first thing I need to say is that ChildLine is there for any young person with any problem and no problem is too small for them.

Some young people call for help with something specific, some call for a chat and some aren't ready to speak so they hang up.

ChildLine counsellors are trained to deal with any problems that you're having and I know that they get lots of calls about growing up, so it's really ok for you to call.

If you prefer to chat online you can do that too, just log in on the ChildLine website and you can speak one-to-one with a counsellor that way (it's a bit like MSN).

 I hope you'll try again to talk to ChildLine. Good luck and take care,

 Sam
