If possible, share your ideas with a partner. You can also record your ideas on paper, on a computer, or as an audio or video clip.
Uncaring people
It is important to recognize if someone’s behaviour is uncaring. This is because uncaring behaviours can put you in danger and can harm you.
If an uncaring person is making you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, it is important to tell someone who can help you.
You could tell an adult that you trust such as a family member, a teacher, or a principal. If you are in danger and do not have a trusted adult to tell, you can always call 9-1-1 to get help from emergency services.
