Hello, it’s wonderful to meet you too!

 

Firstly, let us say that it’s incredibly brave of you to reach out for advice. Being 11 years old can sometimes feel overwhelming, but know that you’re not alone in whatever you’re going through. We are here to listen, support, and guide you through any challenges you may be facing.

 

Being 11 can bring about a whirlwind of emotions, experiences, and questions. It’s completely normal to feel confused, anxious, or unsure about certain aspects of life. Remember, it’s okay to not have all the answers right now. Take things one step at a time, and don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

 

You mentioned valuing at 11 years old, which suggests that you’re trying to figure out your worth and place in the world. It’s important to recognise that your value isn’t determined by external factors or other people’s opinions. You are inherently valuable just by being yourself. Embrace your uniqueness, talents, and quirks, and don’t be afraid to let your light shine bright.

 

If you ever find yourself struggling or in need of someone to talk to, remember that support is just a phone call or click away. The Childline team is here for you 24 hours a day, every day, to offer a listening ear, provide guidance, and explore your options together. Whether you prefer to reach out over the phone at 1800 66 66 66 or through Live Chat at Childline.ie know that you have a safe space to express yourself and receive the support you deserve.

 

So, as you navigate through your teenage years, remember that you are never alone. There are people who care about you and are ready to help you through any challenges you may face. Keep reaching out, stay true to yourself, and never forget that your worth is immeasurable.
