My brother is very annoying he made me so angry. Learning to love him and not be angry all the time helped. And learning to love my new baby sister too!

My parents divorced. I barely see dad. It hurts that he doesn't give me the time of day. Talking to my friends really helps me get through.

Young adult feedback
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.

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 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.
