Nat,

I thought I was the reason why they divorced

When you need someone to listen, Kids Helpline is here.

“I didn't want to believe how I felt was bad.”

Nat,

"I was bullied and to make matters worse my parents divorced.”

It gave me reasons to hate myself. I thought I was the reason why they divorced. I finished primary school and thought high school would be a blank slate, a fresh page or a new chapter. But in reality it was the catalyst to where I am now. I realised no one else was in charge of my happiness except for me. The catch… I'm bisexual and my mum has traditional views.

My school psychologist recommended Kids Helpline, but for months I didn't want to believe how I felt was bad.

I started being more open about my situation to the people I trust and seeing the school psychologist more. I've started being more trustful with friends about my experiences and I ask for advice.
