Bromley Information, Advice and Support Service (IASS) - 10 to 16 years old - Not feeling good?
Many people struggle with their self-esteem, feeling down and overwhelmed.
But there is help available.
Feelings can be hard to make sense of. You might not even know why you feel a certain way.
We all have lots of feelings and emotions when we experience different things.
Talking about things might feel tough, but there are lots of people that can help you.
Childline's coping kit
When you’re feeling low or overwhelmed, it can be hard to know how to cope. But distracting yourself or doing something positive can really help.
Even doing just one positive thing every day can help to improve your mood.
