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.
