If you or one of your friends is struggling, tell a grown up. Some people you might talk to are: your parent, a relative, a friend’s parent, your teacher, a guidance counselor, a day care provider, a neighbor, someone from your church, or a coach. If you are in a public school, there are school psychologists and social workers assigned to your school who will know how to help. If the first person you tell doesn’t seem to know what to do, try telling others. The adults in Livingston County want you to grow up happy and healthy.
