When I found out that my parents were separating I was shocked. But it wasn't as bad as I expected

I look after my mum when she drinks. I put her to bed. She's always worse on a Friday

My mum and dad have split and I never know if my dad is going to turn up to see me or not

The people who know tell me it's not my fault on a regular basis. But I find it so hard to believe myself

I'm really sacred what'll happen if I tell someone

Things were hard at home but I could always talk to my Gran

I felt so much better when I finally told my teacher what was going on

I worry a lot about my mum

My mum and dad have sorted things out and it's getting better

I know it sounds lame, but I was so upset when our dog died. I found it hard to cope but felt guilty I was feeling so bad

I talked to a counsellor at my school once, it helped a lot but now I feel worse

Best advice I can give you is to put yourself in the others' shoes. Really try to understand how they're feeling

I was so sad when my grandma died. She was the one who understood me

I know things are hard at home right now but they will get better

I want to run away from home. Both my parents use drugs and alcohol and they fight

My mum is away a lot looking after my granddad. I miss her

I'm locked into a relationship I want to get away from but don't know how

I'm scared if I tell, everyone will fall to pieces

My mum has difficult times when she's ill. I worry about her but also feel cross

It's hard to stand up to people who won't leave you alone

I want to be able to look into the bully's eyes and not flinch, I don't want them to win anymore

I know things will get better, and I will try to be strong until I get there

My social life's bad and I'm trying to fix it. I don't know how to handle some situations, like when everyone laughed at me

Had my parents intervened things might have been different, but I was fighting my corner alone

It started with name calling. I have no idea why me or what started it ... it went on for 5 years

I started staying in and just went on the internet all the time

I don't need to live like this anymore, but it's hard to know where to start

I was bullied throughout school which severely affected my self-esteem and mental health

I used to think about the bullies all the time so I could avoid them

My teacher really listened and helped sort it out

I was scared if I told it would just get worse. But when I did tell it really helped

My Dad didn't understand - he just said to ignore them - but I'd already tried that

Who's Laughing Now - Jessie J

I was called fat and lazy all the time

Some kids are taught how to be a bully by having parents who bully them at home

My sister and her friend are doing things to me I don't like, but the more I fight the worse it gets

I feel empty all the time; like there's literally a black hole in my chest, void of everything

My stomach is constantly in knots

I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

My boyfriend get depressed. He's creating a wall between us

It creeps up on you and darkens your life but you can do a little every day and eventually it will ease

I feel weak and lethargic and lack motivation

I just want to be whole again

It's a bit like dieting - the weight doesn't come off overnight - neither will the depression, but keep going

Today is a good day

Sometimes I just need to accept it's a bad day and not be too hard on myself

One step at a time, really does help

It can get better

Think about what makes you feel better and do more of it

Everything feels wrong

I worry people will judge me, they'll think I'm ugly and hideous and will laugh at me

The best advice I can give you is to put yourself in others' shoes. Really try to understand how they're feeling

I'm afraid of being noticeable

Ever considered other people may be worrying about what you're thinking of them?

You have to believe in yourself

Focus on the positives

I worry what my Dad will say if he finds out I'm gay

When I knew I liked girls I was confused. I was scared to come out. When I did it was such a relief

Be true to who you are

If you feel good about yourself others will too

I feel so confused sometimes I feel adult, sometimes like a kid

I just want to be me, others put me in a box

I get a lot of attention. I wish boys would just let me be me

Others don't like it when I'm good at things

Just because you look at little bit different, you shouldn't be treated differently

In Sheffield we went on the march of the Goths to end prejudice

I didn't hear voices, but I would hear music looping in my head uncontrollably

I felt like everyone was watching me. I was paranoid about pretty much everything

I suspected I was being set up for something. I even worried my food was being drugged

Thankfully, I've made, what I believe to be, a full recovery

I learned how to maintain an appearance of being a sane, reasonably normal person

I hear voices, see things others can't and perceive the world in a way others would deem surreal

I can't go around ignoring my delusions but I can acknowledge and accept them for what they are

I feel fine most of the time but can get ill if I don't take my medication

I wish people would understand I'm still the same person, I just get ill at times

I have some really good friends who have stuck by me

It was such a relief to go to the doctor and get the help I needed

I thought spiders were crawling up my skin

I smoked too much skunk. It really did my head in

It's scary what our minds can do

I felt so much better once I got the treatment I needed

I only had one episode. I now take great care of my mental health

Some people think psychosis has something to do with psycho. They need to know it's not

I feel totally lost and alone, unwanted, hurting physically and emotionally

I don’t want to tell anyone, they'll think I’m crazy

Everything feels so bad, I need to do something bad to myself

It gives me a rush, but then I feel disappointed, ashamed, stupid and sore

I’m disappointed in myself and scared about how my actions are spiralling out of control

It took time but now I can talk about how I feel

I want to get out of this cycle

I was so scared to tell anyone, but when I did it was such a relief

I feel so angry inside. I need to find something to do to let go of these feelings

No cutting for a week now. I'm going to try my darndest not to

I didn't want to die. I just want this pain to stop

Its not about attention-seeking. I go to great lengths to keep my scars hidden at all times

If you know someone who self-harms it's important to treat them with respect and care

I'm not certain I want to stop

The worst part is I can't concentrate on anything apart from how I can avoid eating

I hate my body, its appearance, size, everything about it.

My hair's fallen out and periods stopped.

I feel guilty for making my family worry, so I just pretend to eat. That way no one gets hurt

I used to exercise every day. At first It was amazing, I was on a high. I got completely addicted

I hate eating in front of people

When I eat I feel guilty so I make myself throw up

I promised myself I would lose weight, even if it killed me

Now I have thinning hair and a messed up metabolism

Your mind plays tricks on you

My friends obsessed with food. She's always counting calories and she takes ages eating, cutting it into smaller pieces

I've had ADHD all my life and I'm 16 now. I've been on loads of different medications

I wasn't diagnosed as a child; my schooling was a disaster

I've taken medication for it for a long time and it really does help me in many ways

I often find it very difficult to concentrate on what the teacher is saying

I find it hard to sleep as it feels like my mind never switches off

Medication is very closely monitored by the CAMHs team.

Medication alone isn't the solution

It's like having a motor that won't stop

I find it hard to sit still

People thought I was naughty, but I just couldn't sit still

I need to keep off the sugar

I have found it helps to do relaxation exercises

I didn't realise it was ADHD until I was an adult

I like to take a break from the medication during holidays

I know I'm doing too much but its hard to slow down

My whole body feels tense. Its hard to relax.

I sometimes have to make myself breathe more slowly

I wake up a lot in the night worrying about stuff that I need to do

I find it hard to say 'No' but then can't get it all done

I am freaking out about exams. Can't focus

I need to chill

When I've got loads on I need to spend more time doing less

I like to be busy. Sometimes I don't know when to stop

I feel so stressed - there's so much pressure about exams

I hate making mistakes. I put a lot of pressure on myself

I've noticed I always leave things to the last minute

I want things to be perfect so I put off finishing them cos I always think they could be better

I get a lot of headaches when I'm under pressure

When am I going to learn to slow down?
