Pat's Answer

Welcome to Ask Pat.

You say that you think you love one of your friends. You think she is funny and nice, and you really like her which sounds like you feel these are very strong feelings. Despite this you think that she does not want to love anyone which sounds like you have not told her how you feel and sounds like you are unsure about telling her. You have been very brave and honest in writing how you feel.

You have the right to get support from someone if you want to chat about this more. If you do not feel like there is someone in your life that you can get support from then there is always the option of contacting Childline, who are there to listen. On the Childline website there are a number of useful sections you might find help give you more information and supports that are relevant to you.

Remember when you talk to Childline, you can explore your thoughts, feelings and options when you chat to us by phone, text or webchat. We do not judge what you say at Childline and your chat can stay confidential. You will find all our contact details on the website www.childline.ie

Take care,

Pat
