i agree, plus a lot of the school counsellors arent actually fully-qualified therapists (obviously) and iveheard horror stories about breeches in privacy, and schools using them to scout out the drug dealers and users.. i think it would be really good to call something like kids help phone, or even an online chat room. ive talked in a few (basically their like an online version of kids help phone) hang in there sweetie, xo

Yeah they only contact child services if they think someone might be in danger because of the situation. So like if they thought your parents could be physically hurting you or your sister or if you or her were in danger of running away or something like that. Otherwise they have to keep everything you say completely confidential edit: other people seem to have had bad experiences with them not keeping things private it seems! In that case it might be best to avoid school counsellors

The online chat thing is a good idea! I don't think you're form the UK but here we have a site called childline where you can talk to counsellors online, talk to other kids about stressful stuff and play games.

And maybe your sister isn't dealing with the stress very well and is grumpy as a result? It'll all be over soon, just gotta' hold on for now

I had a hard time when I was younger, I've never dealt with my parents divorcing but I have dealt with things that made me feel like I just wanted to die or not be here anymore. Maybe try finding an escape - a healthy one. Writing, gaming, anything that takes your mind off of it. It sucks being a kid, you don't have much control over what happens around you, but if you have that one game you can play to take some of the sadness off your mind it will help! Everyone handles it differently, and she probably is just as bothered as you but feels more angry than sad about it!

Hello Daisy

I don't know what country you're in but here in the UK we have Childline, which you can call for someone to talk to.

Your sister may be just as upset and confused as you are, so don't hold it against her. She, nor you know how to act when all you want to do is make those you care about happy.

I can't give much advice. But just remember there are lots of people on this forum, real people all around the world who are worried about you and care about you

Yeah but, SOME schools don't care and call anyway. They pressure you for more and more details, and it may not exactly be the best. Where as a help line or outside source would probably be better at helping

Have you tried asking your sister why shes been acting cold towards you?
