She was in real danger and didn't know what to do. Then she discovered Kids Helpline.</p><h2>"For years I was too scared to tell anybody about what was happening at home…"</h2> <div class="read-more-collapse collapse" aria-expanded="false" style="height: 0px;"> <p>"My dad used to slap me, scream at me and call me names. Life was pointless. No one liked me at school. I always had bruises on my arms and legs. My teacher asked me about it once and I lied and told her that it was from falling over. I was scared to go home. I never wanted any of my friends over at my house because of all the stuff that happened. I couldn’t tell anyone about it until one day I came across Kids Helpline."</p><p>"I started emailing my counsellor and telling her about these things.

Kids Helpline helped her.</p><h2>I wasn’t happy and I knew harming myself wasn’t a good coping mechanism…</h2><p> </p> <div class="read-more-collapse collapse" aria-expanded="false" style="height: 0px;"> <p>"I was not a happy teenager. For all intents and purposes I was a typical high-achiever type-A personality kind of girl at school but outside of that I was really unhappy at home because of various family issues."</p><p>"My father tried to kill himself a few times and I had to save him. My mother was irrational and neurotic. Between the two of them they had many fights in which I was dragged into the middle being an only child. I wasn’t supposed to tell people which made me very unhappy and stressed and I turned to hurting myself in order to cope. I knew that harming myself was not a good coping mechanism but at the time I could not bring myself to care. I harmed myself on and off for years from when I was 13 until I was about 20. I’d go for months years even without harming myself but then something would happen and I’d just fall into a sneaky hate spiral and start all over again. But every time I relapsed I knew I was slowly improving because as the years went by I harmed myself less and less. One year ago I stopped totally."</p><p>"The counsellors at Kids Helpline were particularly helpful towards me. What I liked was that the counsellors were there just to listen to me talk and by doing so it helped me see things from a different perspective. Ultimately what helped me was gaining independence from my family after graduating high school and meeting someone who helped me realise that it is possible to be in a relationship and be happy."</p><p>"I won’t say that my life is perfect now no one’s life is perfect. There are always things to improve on. I still can’t talk to my parents about lots of things but with the help of my partner we are working through it."</p><h3>"They helped me realise it's possible to be in a relationship and be happy."</h3> </div> <a class="btn btn_transparent--blue readMoreBtn" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".read-more-collapse" onclick="onClickReadMoreButton(1)" > READ MORE </a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="page-2" class="page dontDisplay"> <div class="hidden-xs col-sm-4 col-md-5 imgContainer"> <img src="https://kidshelpline.com.au/sites/default/files/Testimonial---Dave-16_3.png" alt="Dave picture" title="Dave picture" /> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-8 col-md-7 contentContainer"> <div class="titleContainer green"> <div class="col-xs-3 buttons left"> <button id="previousStory" class="btn_transparent" onclick="onPreviousStoryClick(2)"><i class="icon-chevron_left"></i></button> </div> <div class="col-xs-6"> <p class="tagline">We help kids like</p> <h2 class="title">Dave</h2> <div class="pageIndexContainer text-center"> <div class="roundedComponent "></div> <div class="roundedComponent "></div> <div class="roundedComponent active"></div> </div> </div> <div class="col-xs-3 buttons right"> <button id="nextStory" class="btn_transparent" onclick="onNextStoryClick(2,3)" ><i class="icon-chevron_right"></i></button> </div> </div> <div class="content green"> <p>At 16, Dave was struggling to cope and had turned to self harming and smoking pot.

At the age of 15 my family was falling apart and I tried sharing it with my two closest friends and instead of being there for me they decided to tell the rest of the school. I shut down, I didn’t go to school unless I was forced to. I started self harming and stealing alcohol from my mother’s cupboard and at the age of 16, I started smoking pot."</p><p>"Then I met a girl who was a little older and she made me realise that I didn’t need it to be happy. I didn’t need to see my past as a negative. I needed to heal and move on. I needed to show that I was stronger. She showed me she cared about what I had to say."</p><p>"And I think that is why Kids Helpline is so important. It shows that someone cares. If I had a chance earlier to talk to someone I would have, because all you need is for someone to listen. I wanna help kids and if just writing this helps, so be it."</p><h3>"They helped me get my confidence back."</h3> </div> <a class="btn btn_transparent--blue readMoreBtn" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".read-more-collapse" onclick="onClickReadMoreButton(2)" > READ MORE </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script> function onClickReadMoreButton(id) { var currentText = jQuery('.bdl_support_us_stories #page-'+id+' .readMoreBtn').text(); if (currentText.includes('READ MORE')) { jQuery('.bdl_support_us_stories #page-'+id+' .readMoreBtn').text('READ LESS'); } else { jQuery('.bdl_support_us_stories #page-'+id+' .readMoreBtn').text('READ MORE'); } } function onPreviousStoryClick(id) { if (id > 0) { // Hide the current one jQuery('.bdl_support_us_stories #page-'+ id +'').addClass('dontDisplay'); // Show the next one jQuery('.bdl_support_us_stories #page-'+ (id - 1) +'').removeClass('dontDisplay'); } } function onNextStoryClick(id, totalStories) { var totalStories = totalStories -1; if (id != totalStories) { // Hide the current one jQuery('.bdl_support_us_stories #page-'+ id +'').addClass('dontDisplay'); // Show the next one jQuery('.bdl_support_us_stories #page-'+ (id + 1) +'').removeClass('dontDisplay'); } } </script>  </div> </div></div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div> </div>   <div class="bdl-wrapper"> <div class="section4 container mtop40 p40" data-bg="" style="background-image: url(); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover; background-position: center; background-color: #ffffff;"> <div class="wrapper-bdl-wrapper-row"> <div class="field-collection-container clearfix">  <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3 col-md-offset-1 leftContainer"> <div class="paragraphs-items paragraphs-items-field-bundle paragraphs-items-field-bundle-full paragraphs-items-full">  <div class="bdl bdl-text clearfix"> <div class="font--blue font--32 line-height--40 introLeftContainer"> <div class="body"><h3>Kids struggle with big issues. </h3></div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-8 rightContainer text-left introRightContainer"> <div class="paragraphs-items paragraphs-items-field-bundle paragraphs-items-field-bundle-full paragraphs-items-full">  <div class="bdl bdl-text clearfix"> <div class="font--24 line-height--30 font--dark_blue"> <div class="body"><h3>Kids reach out to us for support, hope and someone they can trust.
