No one cared 

I recently moved schools and im finding it really hard to settle in and make friends, i get the bus to and from school so i dont see my parents that much. My sister has troubles at school and at home its like no one notices i'm even there. I tried running away but i thought my sister might need me as support but no one listens to me and at home it's like i dont exist. :(

Hello there

It sounds like things have been difficult for you with moving school and dealing with things at home.

I’m wondering what things you have tried in getting to know new people at school?

It might help to find an after school activity or club you are interested in and join it.  This may be in or outside school and would give you a chance to meet friends with the same interests as you.

You say you didn’t run away because you thought your sister might need you. It sounds like you care about her a lot.

Are you able to talk to her about how you feel? She may open up too about how she is feeling.

It’s important to find safe ways of expressing your feelings as they are definitely better out than in.

How would it feel to write down your feelings for your parents and ask them for some one to one time with either of them?

ChildLine is here for you when you feel lonely or upset.You can speak to a counsellor on 0800 111 or using online 1-2-1 or speak to other young people on the ChildLine message boards who might be experiencing the same thing.

Hope this helps
