Question

i'm not psycho or anything but i need someonee to talk to.

i can't talk to my parents about it.

Answer 1

If you are in school/university........go to the Guidance & Counselling office  

Answer 2

Nobody knows what you want to talk about. Parents are hard to discuss certain issues with. Try talking to a School Counselor, Minister, or someone you can trust. Whatever it is, get it out of your mind and talk with someone. At least here on answers, you can discuss stuff without being in front of someone. Now wether their right about what their talking about is another issue. Sadly, there's plenty of jerks with the wrong advice to go around.

Answer 3

Just tell them that you need to talk to someone. If they want to know why, just tell them it's about school and it's no big deal. If they don't agree, call your family doctor and explain what you need. He or she will keep it confidential. God bless.

Answer 4

seriously just ask.

my sister wanted one and my parents thought it was a good idea.

half the time when teens ask, their parents are relieved that they want "help"

Answer 5

Try telling your parents that you're going through a bit of a rough time right now and would like to talk to someone who won't give it a personal/biased view. This usually works since you're not telling them that they're 'lacking' in parenting skills.

Answer 6

Just sit them down and explain your situation. Assure them it's nothing overly serious but you want help before it gets to that point. They'll be understanding. Just flat out tell them how it is. Good luck.
