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.

I looked in the mirror and didn't see myself - I saw a fat ugly person. That scared me!

I wasn't seeing myself I was seeing a totally different person.

I called Kids Helpline. At first I was nervous but then the counsellor helped me and now I just accept myself for who I am - a confident beautiful young woman.

As she moved the phone towards me I saw that she had hurt herself. It was horrible. I never knew someone could do something like that. I screamed and asked her why. It turns out my fun, bubbly, happy best friend actually had depression. I was shocked and scared for her. Later she was calling me crying and saying how she wanted to die and didn't deserve to live. She even tried to take her own life.

When I found out my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend was pregnant again I was angry, confused and frustrated with him, her and myself. One thing I learnt from Kids Helpline is if you don't want to be in a relationship for whatever reason you don't have to be.

My best friend had just had a serious car accident and was fighting for her life. My brother was told he had caner. I was struggling with depression and anxiety. I was self-harming and suicidal. I attempted suicide not long after. Then I called Kids Helpline - they were great.

When my father passed away, I was very depressed. I called Kids Helpline and started crying about my Dad. I spoke with three lovely counsellors that where nice. Now I'm 15 years old and I don't ring up as much.

Thank you Kids Helpline.

It was the scariest thing ever. I took a home pregnancy test thinking it was going to be negative, thinking I won't be pregnant. It could never happen to me. Thinking I can't be. I went to the doctor to get tested and found out I was already 12 weeks pregnant! I had been in denial that it could never happen to me. Being pregnant and having to tell my parents was the hardest thing, especially since I had just moved to another state to live with my Dad.

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.

I mean sure, everyone has mood swings and hormonal moods. But I knew mine weren't just my hormones. One week I'd be extremely low and contemplating suicide. I didn't see a better life ahead. I had made many attempts to end my life because I was so low.

I'd have my normal days where I could just relax and sleep was normal. I'd focus moderately better and my behaviour was heaps better.

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.
