Find out everything you need to know about Ask Sam!
Ask Sam is where you can find letters from young people about all kinds of topics, along with replies with helpful advice and support.
Anyone can write a letter to Ask Sam, you won’t need an account. We read every letter that’s sent to us and pick a few to publish on our website each week.
Want to write to Ask Sam? Get started below!
Ask Sam is very different to speaking to a counsellor at Childline. We only publish a few letters each week, so you may not get a reply to your letter. Letters aren’t usually published straight away.
If you want to make sure you get a response, you can always send a message to a counsellor. They’ll respond within 24 hours and you’ll be able to keep writing back. Some people will even send their message to a counsellor and to Ask Sam.
Ask Sam has the same confidentiality promise as the rest of our website. That means what you say usually stays between you and Childline, but that there are times we might need to pass on what you’ve said. You can find out more about how our confidentiality works here.
