Feeling alone
Feeling alone can be tough, especially when you have a challenge that seem too big to handle on your own. But here's a little secret: you don't have to do it all by yourself. In fact, people actually like to help. And that's a wonderful thing because we all need a little support sometimes.
It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking we have to be strong and independent all the time. But the truth is, asking for help doesn't make you weak. It makes you human. We're social creatures, wired to connect and support each other.
Think about it. When a friend or family member comes to you for help, how do you feel? Chances are, you're more than happy to lend a hand. And guess what? The people in your life feel the same way about you.
So, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed or alone, don't be afraid to ask for help. Whether it's talking to a friend or confiding in a family member, there are people who care about you and want to help. There are also others things you can do, check this out!

01
Reach out
Even when you feel like nobody gets it, there are people who care about you and want to help. Reach out to a friend, family member, or teacher—someone you trust. Just sharing how you feel can make a big difference.
02
Express yourself creatively
When words are hard to find, try expressing how you feel through art, music, writing, or any other creative outlet. It’s a powerful way to process your feelings and can make you feel less isolated.
03
Get involved
Joining a club, team, or group activity can connect you with people who share your interests. It's a great way to meet new friends and feel part of something bigger.
04
Practice self compassion
Be kind to yourself. Treat yourself like you would treat a good friend who’s going through a tough time. Remember, it's okay to not be okay.
05
Learn something new
Taking up a new hobby or learning something new (like a language, instrument, or sport) can be a great distraction. It can also give you something to look forward to and feel proud of.
