“The 1-2-1 chat is very useful for me, because I’m not a very confident person on the phone, and I know that someone is still there, who cares - which I’m not really used to.”

“ChildLine helps me understand and cope with things better and gives me advice on how to stay safe and stress free.  so I love childLine and it makes me happy.”

“Without ChildLine, I honestly don’t think I would be here today. The amount of times i've just felt like giving up on myself and everything, and ChildLine has been there for me.”

“ChildLine made me feel like I could share my problems. It made me feel less isolated and like someone actually wanted to listen to me and help me explore what the problems were without pressuring me to say anything.”

“It’s nice to be appreciated for who I am. And also no one telling me I’m insane or different. I feel like part of the family. I have somewhere to go when I’m stressed and can’t work things out. They also help you solve problems as well as talk about them.”

“To me ChildLine is important as it helps me to discuss the things that I find difficult talking to with my mum, so that has helped. And if I don’t want to talk to a counsellor about it I can post it on the message boards as everyone is very nice and wants to help you.”
