TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
you guys always say to go to counselling or therapy. what if our parents are the problem or we don't have money. then how do we get the help we need. i'm not meaning to be rude, but i mean, there is no way i could ever even get there. it's a good thought, just not very helpful.

Hey thanks for contacting us here at TEEN LINE. It sounds like you are somewhat frustrated. You mentioned that parents or money could be an issue, which can be true. A good place to start is seeing your school counselor. There are also low-cost and even free clinics available depending on where you live, which your school counselor could help you find. I also encourage you to call us here at TEEN LINE at 310-855-4673 to talk. Sometimes it helps just to get your feelings out. We are here everynight from 6 to 10pm PST.
