I never really noticed how much time I spent online until I started to feel exhausted at school. I was catching up on Facebook and gaming with my friends online, but I always lost track of time and it was 2am before I got to sleep! My friends were getting annoyed because they thought I wasn’t listening to them. My parents were worried and got mad because I was always in my room on my laptop. I also realised how much work I had to do for my end of year exams.

I had just started seeing this guy from another school. He was really nice and we got along super well. One day for fun he asked me to send him a naked picture of myself. At first I was like, no way! But as we kept talking it didn’t seem like too big a deal, it was only to him. Things being so new I didn’t want it to end either. So I did.  What I didn’t realise was he forwarded that picture to one of his friends and eventually it got around to his whole year group.

I had a bunch of fake accounts created - they were using my pictures, adding my friends and sending really bad messages to everyone. I had no idea who was doing this but I started to lose friends because they thought it was me. 
I remembered my class talked about KHL one day so I decided to give them a try. They helped me so much.

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.
