5 Things u need2know

  1. Arguments and disagreements are common within families, but remember that they usually just want the best for you.
  2. If issues with your parents or family are getting you down, tell them. A lot can be sorted out with honesty, compromise and consideration.
  3. Talk to friends - they might be in the same situation as you and could give you some advice on what to do next.
  4. Family life shouldn't mean a life of violence or physical abuse.
  5. If you cannot cope at home, tell your teacher or a social worker.
