Hello
Thank you for sending your letter to me and telling me how you're feeling about things at home. I can hear you’re feeling upset and finding it difficult to deal with the stress and anger at home with your family. There can be lots of different reasons that families have problems and it can be hard to know what to do.
You mentioned things can be so difficult sometimes that you wish you could go to a foster home. This would be a big step to take and Social Services would become involved to help make decisions about what they think is the best decision for you. They will always try to work to keep families together wherever possible.
You might like to consider talking to a counsellor at ChildLine. We would like to get a better understanding of how things are at home and start to think of ways that you can support yourself. ChildLine can also help you talk to a social worker if you decide that you want to take things further.
You can either sign up on our web-site to have a 1-2-1 chat or ring our free phone number 0800 1111 to speak to a counsellor directly.
I hope we hear from you again when you’re ready.
Take care
Sam
