Key Takeaway
You are not alone. When things are a bit tricky at home, having friends and belonging to a community can make things feel a bit easier.
Maybe you just moved or maybe you want to try something new. There are lots of places you can go to start building connections. Match the pictures to the names of places you can connect with others:
Q&A
What if I want to talk to someone who has been through the same thing?
Finding a support group or talking to other children who have experienced their parents' divorce can be helpful. Reach out to your teacher, parents or school counsellor for help connecting to support groups, or try the Kids Help Phone’s Peer-to-Peer Community.
What will my friends say when they find out?
Lots of teens worry about breaking the news to their friends. But separation and divorce are very common these days. Good friends will be glad you've told them. You're still you, even though your family is changing. See Telling your Friends for more tips.
