Why do my teachers seem to not care about mental health and who can i talk ti about my mental health
Hiya, feeling brushed off by teachers can make opening up seem even harder 💛
Teachers are human too, and they may not know how to show they care, or they may show it badly, but that doesn't necessarily mean they don't care.
You could speak to a parent or trusted adult, a school counsellor, another teacher, a family member or a friend.
If talking feels difficult, you could find a quiet moment and start with something simple like, “I've been wanting to talk about how I've been feeling lately.”
Your feelings are valid, and asking for support is a brave step 🫶
If you feel low or worried all the time, or it's affecting your daily activities, you could book an appointment with a doctor for professional support.
If you want to talk to someone confidentially right now in the UK, you can contact Childline on 0800 1111, Mind on 0300 123 3393 or text SHOUT to 85258.
Anywhere else, findahelpline.com can help you find free, confidential support in your country.
Take care of yourself 🌸
