IF YOU'RE A TEEN
Talking to an adult feels hard. Do it anyway.
You don't have to start with your parents. A school counselor, a teacher you like, a coach, a friend's parent, your pediatrician, even an aunt or older cousin — any adult who has shown you they care is a starting point. They don't need to fix everything. They just need to know.
If reaching out to a person feels impossible, start with the phone numbers above. You can hang up at any time. You can text instead of call. You don't need the right words.
