My dad used to slap me. I had bruises on my arms and legs. I was too scared to go home. I contacted Kids Helpline and they helped me through everything.

The app was highly customisable and interesting with the interactiveness in place for the users and still having a calming contrast on the layout which did make me feel calmer with such colour schemes. I really liked the modern design of the app and the tracking that comes along with it.

It took a while for me to open up to others but I got there in the end. Talking about abuse or assult it hard but it's really important to get support.

My family was falling apart. I shut down and started self-harming. I learnt to stop blaming myself for my family. Having someone to listen really helped.

They helped me understand how to get through my anger
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.

Tell us your storyBeing emotionally abused at home was really tough
I never found myself being able to break free. I had a fake smile and was always shy. No one knew what my life was like and that I hid a dark side.
I logged on to Kids Helpline and it was kind of easy to share my feelings.
My counsellor suggested many great things to help me. I have learned to not let negative thoughts take over your life, but to break out of the bubble and find someone that you trust to talk to.

Tell us your storyThere are people I can talk to
I would constantly argue with my Mum & her husband about small silly things. I would often cry myself to sleep knowing the next day would be the same drama, different day. It sucked a lot. I felt like I had no one to turn to, no one to talk to, no one to trust. Basically I had no one. I counted down the days until I turned 18 so I was an adult & no one could boss me around. I longed for that day but it seemed so far away. Just when I thought things were going to be fine, things went downhill again.

Tell us your storyI needed to show that I was stronger.
At the age of 15 my family was falling apart. I tried sharing it with my two closest friends and instead of being there for me they decided to tell the rest of the school. I shut down, I didn't go to school unless I was forced to. I started self harming and stealing alcohol from my mother's cupboard. At the age of 16, I started smoking pot. Then I met someone who was a little older and they made me realise that I didn't need pot to be happy.
