SOME OTHER SAFE PLACES TO TURN FOR HELP:
- Have you talked to your parents or a trusting adult about your fears? That would be a great place to start.
- Reach out to your school. Your guidance counselors they are there for you! You can even make an in-person appointment to talk directly with them face to face.
- Check in with your teachers. You may only see them during class, but they are a resource that can connect you to the help you may need. It’s one of the people you have (some sort of) contact with almost every day.
CONDISER THIS:
Here on TeenCentral website you can find resources that might help you. In the Tools Tab you can find all kinds of resources that might help you:
You mentioned in your story that you were going to try to pray. For a moment, since you wrote that, I’m going to assume that you have a belief in some kind of God. Prayer is often very calming and centering for people. It helps people remember there is someone else greater in control of the things happening in the world. If this is something you believe, then consider that this God is definitely more powerful than what is happening in the world. Perhaps you can try and put your faith in this God rather than the kings and politicians of this world. Would this idea seem helpful to you? If so, consider journaling about that.
There are also many hotlines available to you on the TeenCentral HELP tab. Read over them because one of them may apply to your situation perfectly – and they respond immediately to you. Know that you are not alone. You got this!!!
