Who to Talk To About Your Feelings when You Don't Think You Can Trust Anyone

The life of a teenager can be very hard to deal with. You have a lot of emotions both good and bad bottled up inside you, just busting to get out. These emotions and dealing with them can be very scary. You can be torn on what to do about them too. You know the best thing to do is talk to someone about what you are feeling. However you don’t know who you can talk to. Who could you ever trust to talk about these feelings with? They are so personal that you don’t want them to be spread all over, so you just can’t trust anyone. Parents always say you can talk to them, and so do teachers. What you have bottled up inside is just too personal for them. You may think you can’t talk to your friends either. So what do you do? 

Keeping these emotions bottled up inside can be very damaging to both your emotional and physical well being. Weather you can talk to someone or not, you need to let your feeling out. One great way to get your feeling out is by writing. Nobody says you have to show your writing to anyone, just putting it on paper can make you feel so much better. Getting things “Off your chest” can help you feel 10 times better than if you keep them bottled up. 

Many people both boys and girls like to write in journals. These are a great way of expressing yourself because they are personal. Nobody else can read them unless you want them to. Journals can be a place you keep all your private thoughts. You may be crushing on someone, or you may be very angry at something. Writing in a journal can be a way of getting these feelings off your chest in a way that no one else knows. This way you don’t get hurt even more.
