You can talk to your friends, or a specialist like your school's counselor. Anyone else's point of view outside of your family environment can help.

Talk to a friend or a trusted, responsible adult. You can talk to your parents too, but only if you feel safe doing so.

Depending on your age, can you talk to a school counselor or therapist? High schools and colleges often offer such assistance for free. If there is a third party adult that you trust in your family (or just close to you), you can talk to them.

Talk to someone you trust! This may be a teacher, maybe your grandparent, but make sure it's someone you trust and that can help you in the situation - dont keep it all bottled up!

You can talk to a pastor/priest, or maybe a counselor. Someone who is not related to you and your parents. It is for you to see another perspective about your problem with them.

Someone you trust such as a friend or an adult you are close with. Maybe even a guidance counselor at school or social worker who can take steps to help you and your families situation.

A person that I can trust, or a person you feel comfy with as for me its my grandma, or I go and talk to my parents and try to deal with it by myself.

You can talk with us here on 7cups (always) but... do you have a best friend? Someone you know you can count on? If you do, talk to them. Even if you feel like you're ''boring'' them, you aren't. They surely love you and they wanna help you as much as possible...

We here at 7 Cups of Tea are always here to listen. You can talk to us and we will listen.
Other people in your family can also help, siblings can often times be helpful because they may be experiencing similar feelings, or another family member, or perhaps close friends. Anyone you feel safe and you feeling comfortable talking to.

You can start by talking to your parents first and letting them know how you feel. If that doesn't work, you can talk to someone you trust. Like a guidance counselor or a trusted adult like a friend or another relative. Good Luck.

If you are in school, then the guidance counselor would be a safe bet. But, it also depends on the severity of the problem. A guidance counselor is good to talk to, but if there's any suspected abuse going on, they would probably have to notify the authorities.

Here at 7cups, there are trained active listeners available around the clock to support you and listen to your problems. Though we cannot offer you advice, we can direct you to useful resources and help you figure out the best way to help yourself. We are here to listen and help you through this tough phase. However, if your problem is more serious (e.g abuse) and needs a physical solution then we can refer you to the right people (e.g make a police report / abuse hotline etc.)

There are several options here depending on the severity of the problem. (If it is extremely serious you can call child services/police). If it is not very serious, then find another close and trusted family member to talk to about it. You can also go to your GP and ask them to refer you to a therapist (the therapist will help you deal with your parents whatever the problem is).

You could talk to someone that you trust and feel comfortable talking too. If you don't have anyone like that then you can talk to a counselor or therapist about it.

You can talk to a guidance counselor, another relative like an uncle or aunt or a pastor or even a teacher. But that is if you can't talk to them on your own
