Lesson Overview

2.46 – Telling an Adult: When and How: Sharing pain with an adult feels intimidating, yet it opens doors to help. Choose someone trustworthy—teacher, parent, coach, or counselor. Plan what to say beforehand: focus on safety and feelings, not blame. Use sentences like “I’m scared I might hurt myself” to show urgency. Be honest even if words shake. Most adults will connect you to proper resources or crisis support. If one reacts poorly, try another; persistence finds care. You deserve adults who listen without panic. Bring a friend if fear blocks you from speaking alone. Written notes or texts work if talking feels impossible. Once shared, relief often follows because the secret breaks. Telling an adult proves you respect your life enough to seek help. Courage begins the moment you decide to speak truth to safety.
