Ask me a question
You can ask me about anything you want, there's nothing too big or small. I would be especially interested in hearing more about how coronavirus might have affected you at home and at school.
Ask Sam
Something on your mind? Or need some support?
Anyone can write in with their problem. I respond to a few letters each week. You can also read my advice to people who have similar problems to you.
What you need to know:
- Sam reads every letter, but can only respond to a few each week
- Sam's replies are public, never private, so others can read them
- Sam will remove personal info from your letter to keep it anonymous
- if yours is chosen, you'll see it under one of the topics below
- if you need support now or want to talk privately, contact a Childline counsellor.

Message from Sam
You can write to me about anything you want and I read every single message sent. I can only reply to a few each week and I always do this in public on my page. I’m sorry if I don’t answer your letter but it’s likely there are others just like it that I have answered before. If you want a definite response or need support then talking to a Childline counsellor is the best way to do that.
