Right now, many children are struggling to cope.
They're facing abuse, neglect, and bullying, and their mental health is at breaking point. Thousands of children are calling Childline with thoughts of self-harm and suicide, and many have nowhere else to turn.
Childline must be here for children this winter. But we need your help.
Sometimes I have suicidal thoughts when things get too much for me. Lately, these thoughts haven’t been going away. It’s all I can think about.
I’m feeling so overwhelmed with everything and not having any choice in what happens to me. I’m really struggling. I just don’t want to be here anymore.

Every 25 seconds a child contacts Childline for help.
