If you are feeling depressed about something you need to talk to someone who can help.... talking to your parents/carers can often solve a problem but sometimes a person with a bit more expertise is needed.
The sort of person you could talk to is your doctor, school nurse, teacher, connexions adviser or youth worker.
Any of these people will be able to help you sort out what's troubling you so I suggest you approach whoever you feel most comfortable with.
If for any reason you feel that you can't talk to any of the people I have mentioned please get back to me and we can look at other options.
There are also a couple of helplines you can ring where you can talk about your situation and you won't even have to give your name if you don't want to, the calls are free and they won't even show up on your phone bill: Childline on 0800 1111 and The Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90
