Your Question
My friends are ignoring me
Answer
Hey there, thanks for reaching out to us today.
Â
We’re really sorry to hear that your friends seem to be ignoring you right now. It’s perfectly okay to feel hurt or upset when this happens. Sometimes, friendships can go through ups and downs, and it’s important to remember that it’s not your fault.
Â
Could it be possible that your friends are going through something themselves or maybe they’re just caught up in their own world right now. It doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t care about you. You may like to read about friendships on our website; there are many articles which could be helpful to you www.childline.ie/friends/.
Â
You may find it helpful to talk to a trusted adult about what you’re going through. They can provide you with guidance and support during challenging times like this. They might have some insights or advice on how to handle the situation or even help you reach out to your friends to understand what’s going on.
Â
Remember, you’re never alone in this. If you feel like you can’t talk to someone you know just yet, you can always call the Childline Team at 1800 66 66 66 or reach out via Live Chat at www.Childline.ie.

Take care of yourself,
