What I can say when I'm worried
It can be hard to find the right words. Here are some things you could say to start the conversation:
- →
“Something has happened and I need to talk to you.”
- →
“I'm worried about something and I don't know what to do.”
- →
“Someone has said or done something that made me feel uncomfortable.”
- →
“I've seen something online that upset me.”
- →
“I feel unsafe and I need help.”
- →
“My friend told me something and I'm worried about them.”
Remember:
- You are never in trouble for telling a trusted adult.
- It is never your fault if something bad happened to you.
- If one adult does not help, tell another.
- Childline is always there: 0800 1111 — free and private.
