When I fight with my friends it tears me up inside. I get really upset that I'll end up with no friends. I didn't have many friends in primary school and I don't want to go through that again.

I used to try and keep the peace all the time because I was so scared of losing my friends.

Now I know better because I learnt that I'm a good person and a good friend. I know that my true friends will stick by me even if we disagree. When we fight we get over it quickly and don't hold grudges.

I was pushing myself to work and study - I didn't let up. I was stressed all the time. You don't need to put yourself under that much pressure.

It's ok to take a break now and then - it really helps you feel healthy.

Having a balance is what's important. Eating healthy meals and doing regular exercise (for me it was running). Don't underestimate the effect of stress on your body.  Find out what you can do to keep stress under control in a healthy way.

I already had an annoying 9 year old brother. I did web counselling and they helped me understand how to get through my anger and learn to love the new baby.

My new baby sister is 5 months and sooooo cute.

I'm so happy I went to Kids Helpline.

I looked at myself in the mirror everyday looking at my weight and general appearance. Every day I was late for school because I was obsessed with looking perfect.

Everyone around me thought I was beautiful and skinny but I didn't see it.

Kids Helpline have helped me by teaching me how to like the way I look. They also reminded me that no one is perfect. Thank you Kids Helpline!

This one girl was nasty to me because I had a brown eye and a blue eye. Something that simple. She endlessly teased me and eventually started to call me far nastier things. I started getting depressed, I never wanted to go to school. I went as far as making myself vomit. But when I was at home they would send me emails and text messages. I started to have suicidal thoughts. One day I saw the ad for Kids Helpline.

I looked in the mirror and didn't see myself - I saw a fat ugly person. That scared me!

I wasn't seeing myself I was seeing a totally different person.

I called Kids Helpline. At first I was nervous but then the counsellor helped me and now I just accept myself for who I am - a confident beautiful young woman.

As she moved the phone towards me I saw that she had hurt herself. It was horrible. I never knew someone could do something like that. I screamed and asked her why. It turns out my fun, bubbly, happy best friend actually had depression. I was shocked and scared for her. Later she was calling me crying and saying how she wanted to die and didn't deserve to live. She even tried to take her own life.

When I found out my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend was pregnant again I was angry, confused and frustrated with him, her and myself. One thing I learnt from Kids Helpline is if you don't want to be in a relationship for whatever reason you don't have to be.

My best friend had just had a serious car accident and was fighting for her life. My brother was told he had caner. I was struggling with depression and anxiety. I was self-harming and suicidal. I attempted suicide not long after. Then I called Kids Helpline - they were great.

When my father passed away, I was very depressed. I called Kids Helpline and started crying about my Dad. I spoke with three lovely counsellors that where nice. Now I'm 15 years old and I don't ring up as much.

Thank you Kids Helpline.
