Crisis / Suicide
If you are in crisis, feeling out of control or suicidal, do one (or more) of these things, right now:
  • Tell someone you trust: a family member, friend, or other support person.
  • Tell your health care professional: your primary care doctor, psychiatrist, or therapist.
  • Go to a hospital if you can't reach any of your supporters, or if these feelings continue.
  • Call the National Hopeline, 1-800-442-4673 (USA only) to be connected to a crisis hotline near you.
Do not hesitate to call. Your life is extremely valuable, and people care about you.
Please reach out for help. Never act on your thoughts of suicide. Never.

You don't have to feel this way. There is help. Don't lose hope.

Age of Consent
What does the age of consent mean?
The age of consent is the age at which the law says a young person can agree to have sex. Before someone reaches the age of consent, they are not allowed to have sex with anyone, whatever age their partner may be. The law says that to have sex, both partners must be over the age of consent.
