Youthline: Teens Helping Teens by Text, Phone, or Chat

Free. Confidential. No problem too big or small.

Talking about what’s bothering you can be difficult and scary. We know that your call with YouthLine may be the first time you say out loud what you’re going through. When you call us, we listen, support, and keep what you share to ourselves.

When parents divorce, it can be for a lot of different reasons. Sometimes the kids can feel guilty, but its important to know that adults make their own decisions about divorce. Divorce can be a really difficult thing for you to deal with and can bring up a lot of different feelings, which is normal, and talking about them can truly help.

Teen volunteers are here to listen to you.

Here are things we don’t do:

• we won’t judge
• we won’t tell you what to do
• we won’t tell you that your feelings are silly or unreasonable – because they aren’t

YouthLine’s teen volunteers are here to listen to you, to help you know that your feelings matter, and to help you feel better.

We’re here to support you every day.

If you want to talk about it, we can help. The YouthLine is here via text, phone, or chat. If you’re most comfortable talking to another teen, from 4 to 10 PM Pacific, they’re here to answer and help. The YouthLine offers someone to talk to 24/7 to help you through your feelings and what you’re experiencing.
