Help me if you can?

[Isha]

Hi, my name is Isha and I'm 12. I'm really messed up... so is my life. My parents are druggies, I have no real friends, and my whole life is just a metaphor for being trapped in a cage. What depresses me most is the fact that my idol is dead... Kurt Cobain. Ugh it's so petty, but I cry about him being gone everyday. There's something seriously wrong with me 😞 I just need somebody to talk to about my problems. Any 'friends' I have, would never even think of speaking about this stuff, when sometimes, its all I want to talk about. Ughh idk how this site works anyway, I guess I'll try again later -.-

Hi Isha,

Welcome to the forum!

Having the courage to post here at 12 is great! It sounds as though you are very much in need of support. I'm really sorry to hear your parents misuse drugs. If you don't mind me asking, have they been taking drugs like this for a long time? Also, do you have any siblings or other close relatives? If you feel unsafe at home, it is important that you tell someone. Try talking one-on-one to a teacher at school you know well and trust. You are not alone, and there are always people who are willing to listen and offer help. Others your age are likely to struggle with serious conversations involving heavy emotions.

If you need to talk to someone right now, call the kids helpline on 1800 55 1800. You can also go to their website here: https://kidshelpline.com.au/kids/

It would be nice to hear back from you, to see how you are doing 🙂

Best wishes,

SM

Thankyou so much for replying. Yes, I do have two younger siblings and one 27 year old half sister. I don't know how long my parents have been taking drugs. It's mainly my dad who seems to do that. Thanks for your help 🙂
