    It is better to talk on the boards on your thread as then everyone can reply. If you just pm one person then they might not be able to respond for a while so it is better to post on here so whoever is there first can help
    Just dropping in to echo this. People can have supportive conversations privately if they like but, as a general rule, if you're having a boards discussion and you need some support in the moment, it's best to keep that public for the reasons @Jellyelephant mentioned. It's also important nobody feels obligated to support anyone in private because that can be quite a tough thing to do. :)

    Also, these guys make a really good point that you shouldn't be left to look after someone with complex health and care needs at the age of 15. The situation you're describing does sound really concerning and not above board, so it's definitely worth contacting your support worker as early as you can to tell them what's happened and get this straightened out, because nobody should be left in this position. You could even contact Childline on 0800 1111 or speak to one of their counsellors over text here: https://www.childline.org.uk/get-support/1-2-1-counsellor-chat/

    Would really urge you to speak to somebody today if possible @Past User. :) Is that something you're able to do?

    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.

    Hey Lucy :) 

    Have social services manage to find you another emergency placement yet ? As we mentioned on your other thread remember if you don’t feel like your getting on with your new placement give your social worker a ring as they can look at finding you a more suitable placement.

    im sorry to hear about your friends parents , cancer isn’t a nice thing to watch a loved one go through . I hope there getting done support to :) 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Are you with ur foster placement now then? How is it? Did they get someone to care for your friend? 

    What course are you doing online? What is it about the course that is stressful to you because I have spent many years in education so perhaps I can help if I know what is difficult

    Here if want to speak more about things
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley
