How to ask an adult for help 

Talking to someone about a toxic or abusive relationship can be scary. Always choose an adult that you trust and feel safe with. 

You could do this face-to-face, or you could write them a letter, or leave a note. Just remember that anything written could be found by someone else or be shared – so think about how you will keep it private. 

If you want to discuss it face-to-face but feel worried about starting the conversation, you could try starting with this: 

  • I need your help with something. 
  • I’m worried about something, and I need your advice. 
  • I have something important to tell you.

Remember, we are always here to support you, and you can get in touch here.
