Free support lines in your country

When something feels too big to carry, talking helps. A good first step is an adult you trust: a parent, a teacher, a school counselor or another grown-up you feel safe with. If your feelings get so big that they scare you, tell an adult right away, or call one of the lines on this page. They are free, and the people who answer are there to listen.
