I 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.

They really helped me get my confidence back

Most of my friends had boyfriends and we were always going out to parties. That's where I met my boyfriend. He was a year older than me and we got on really well. That was until I got pregnant at age 15.
All my friends including my boyfriend were all very supportive.
I was starting to feel slightly depressed about the situation and that's when I started calling Kids Helpline. They really helped me get my confidence back and 9 months later I had my beautiful baby boy. I am 17 and still call Kids Helpline.
