Topic I don't have anyone to talk to 

Question

I don't have anyone to talk to 

Hello Sam, I've been liking some boy for a year now and a bit later on he started talking to me hanging out at school and trips and kind of flirting in lessons and there was a rumour once or twice that he admitted that he liked me back. I told one of my friends to give him a clue that I liked him, today my friend said same thing and he guessed it was me but dragged my friend away before she could say anything. I am writing my letter because the main reason is that I am the kind of person who will explode if doesnt talk about feelings to someone. At school I tried to find a friend to talk to about the fact that I am a person with hard feelings and if I should spit my feelings to my crush. Two questions, should I tell my crush about my feelings and what should I do what should I do when there's no one to talk to?

Hi there,

This can be a tricky situation to be in.

First of all, you might want to write down a list of all the positives and negatives for telling him about how you feel. Sometimes seeing it all written down can help to give you the confidence to make a decision. It can also help you to think about what you want to happen if he says he feels the same way or not.

If you feel like you can’t talk to your friends, you could always talk to someone at ChildLine. One of our counsellors could listen and help you to sort out your feelings. If you think you'd like to do this, phone 0800 1111 or come and have a 1-2-1 chat.

On the ChildLine message boards there may be other young people who can give you some advice and support too. There is always someone for you to talk to at ChildLine.

I hope that helps.

Take care

Sam
