Who can help teenagers and young adults when parents divorce or separate?
There's quite a lot of help out there if you know where to look:
Several helplines - some which are 24/7.
You can even speak to young people who have been trained to help you.
A very useful website: www.there4me.com
- and it's free!
There's interactive online talk with social workers, message boards
and agony uncle.
Plus loads of games. Have a look at the teenage health freak sites or
the American teen site just for fun. If you are over 16, you can access
the Site.

Clare Johns - 0207 286 0333/ 07826 028 884 or email clarej@filmsofrecord.com

Editor's note: It would be best to discuss this with
the parent who has care for you.
