Talking to a trusted adult
- You can start simple: “School has been really stressful lately, and I don’t know what to do.”
- You don’t need to have everything figured out before you ask for help.
- If one adult isn’t helpful, it’s okay to try someone else.
- Writing down what you want to say beforehand can make it easier.
