i have 38 notifications from childline how am i supposed to answer them?

I suppose many of them will be notifications from threads you have followed, so not all will need an answer. I'm sure I left my account with a similar number when I left all those years ago lol

the threads i follow are mostly roleplay threads, hence why i have so many notifications. i kinda have to answer them as if i dont people will ask where i went. so therefore i just answered one of the roleplay threads saying that ill take an indefinite break. im still waiting for it to get approved.

What’s it like on there these days anyways? I have a look sometimes. It seems quieter than when I left it which is kinda sad, though I did leave a while ago now

its quieter than it was when i first joined back in 2023 thats for sure. i was on a different account before i had my first psychotic episode and got rid it just before i had it since i wanted a fresh start on childline after i came out of it. this was at the cusp of me being not psychotic and psychotic so i kinda knew it was going to happen. well not really but you get what i mean. childline is kind of dead now from what it was two years ago. i mean thats not a large period of its existence whatsoever but there are less active threads. i only really use childline on the message boards to talk to others and to roleplay with them. and in terms of the service as a whole its alright i guess. there are some good childline counsellors, some okay ones and some bad ones who look like theyre using a script. the other day i waited for 50 minutes on the phone for a childline counsellor to pick up and no one answered

so i used samaritans instead.

It’s certainly a shame that it was quieter. When I first joined in 2014 it was a hub of activity! I see the 1-1 chats are just as busy though, I’m glad you find some of them helpful.

i wish my 6 year old self found out about childline lol. yeah the 1-to-1 chats are still pretty active.

I think I found you on childline a while ago lol. I dont know what’s wrong with it because I’m almost 20 and it still lets me post messages. Sometimes I pop on there and try to help people out because I think it’s so sad when they don’t get a response

It would still let me post if I wanted to, but there is a flag on my account now that I’m over 19. It says it in my locker, so idk if it would get through.

i see. i imagine that it wouldnt get through due to safeguarding reasons for that when youre over 19 youre technically not a child anymore hence the word child in childline. they give you one extra year when you were 18 to adjust to different services i suppose.
