Feeling unsafe

Feeling unsafe could mean being scared because some is bullying you, being worried that your friends have stopped talking to you, your family is saying mean things about you or any time you are feeling scared, nervous, anxious or afraid. It is never ok for someone to make you feel scared and you should talk to your parents/carers, friends, school teacher or one of the organisations below. By talking to someone they may be able to find ways to solve the situation or make sure you are safe from further harm and danger.
