No, you don’t have to tell your parents that you’re contacting us. Kids Helpline is a service for young people to call anytime, for any reason. For some families, it can help to talk to your parents about what’s going on for you. But we understand not everybody is comfortable telling their parents. 

If you want your parents/carers to be involved in chatting with Kids Helpline, you can give Kids Helpline permission to talk to them.
