I tried pot because my boyfriend was doing it. I got addicted. Thankfully my best friend talked me out of it. I broke up with him and my life is back on track.

I just wanted to express my thoughts and for someone to listen to me and to not fix me. Kids Helpline did that. I was really grateful how they were able to listen to me and yet helped me process what I was going through. I tried Kids Helpline because they were directed towards young people and were more youth-friendly than some other services. When I was talking with Kids Helpline I felt more comfortable and okay with my problems. They were not solved per se but I felt that they weren't as debilitating.

I was a 'party girl' and 'getting messy' was my thing. But I didn't need to drink to be liked. I learnt to accept myself and find friends who accepted me.
I was getting so drunk I had no control over what I was doing. I was unhappy with myself. With support I fixed the issues the lead me to drink to stopped.
At the age of 16 I started smoking pot. I met a girl who made me realise I didn't need pot to be happy. I needed to heal and move on.
