Hi thanks for your letter

Sounds as though you have had a difficult and upsetting young life. Although the social sevices said you could go and live back at home with mum from what you are telling me it doesn't seem as though this was a good thing to happen?

Do you still have contact with the social worker who said that you could go home to mum? If you do you must try and be brave and talk to him/her really quickly.

If not then you must talk to an adult that you like someone maybe in your family, like an auntie,nan,grandad or even your teacher.

You must tell someone what is happening at home for you as soon as you can. You will have to feel very brave to do this so find a friend maybe at school that could help you.

If you don't think you can do this come and talk to ChildLine either phone 0800 1111 or have a 1-2-1 online chat. The ChildLine counsellor will help you with this.

Take care

Sam

It's not my fault

Its not my fault

Hey Sam

i have been feeling a little low recently as I am being bullied. When I was at primary school I was bullied to the point when i got a councillor. I was determined never to get into that state again. But recently everyone is about the way they look. I have a slightly larger than normal nose. I do feel a bit touchy about it anyway. On the bus, someone behind me asked me a question i turned round to a lot of smiling faces, giggling, laughing. I turned back round and heard them say: "did you see her huuuge nose. It's so ugly." I felt like crying. Feel terrible about the way I look. And I am sick to death of being teased for what I was born with. It's not my fault...
