Alot of it gets pinned on me. I really want to reach out and talk to someone about how this is making me feel. Because it is eating me up. I told my mum and she shrugged it off as if it was nothing then walked away. I cant seem to be able to talk to my friends about this. As i am embarressed. Th only person i really want to tlak to about how i;ve been feeling is my female teacher. I dont love her or anything nuh. But i really want her in my life as a motherly figure. Someone to speak too. I think about it alot. Why her? and honestly i have no idea. She;s the only person i really trust at the moment. However i have not much to do with her. I;m hoping my family can pull through this situation but its really tearing me aparrt how everyone is treating each other. i dno what i;d do if my parents got divorced. please really all i want is for you to suggest a way i;d be able to strike conversation with my teacher.

If you think she cares about you she will get you the help you need.And help you through it..Believe me I went through the same thing..After telling my teacher I felt like i couldnt trust her.But she was only trying to help me and make things better.Now she is like a mother figure..I love her 3,I wish you good in life and hope things get better.If you ever want anyone to talk to Im here to help..Dont worry your are not alone

Ok motherly figures are hard to come by when in the situation you yourself is in, but teachers are not the best kind of parental figures...You need to try and connect with your family, make sure your concerns are heard, and you need to speak to them about how this is making you feel, if you've tried once-try again.Your teacher, i'm sure is willing to help you through this as most teachers are always there for their students to talk to and help through things like these, but when they are unable to give advice can suggest you talk to a councelor which isn't a bad thing-They don't force you to go, and the councelor doesn't force you to talk.But if you truly need to talk and don't know who to turn to, you can turn to your teacher for advice, just talk to her one day at lunch or after school and tell her you don't really know who you can talk to and you have family issues, teachers are always willing to help,just don't step over the lines.I wish you well, and I hope you solve your problem.
