Nightline: The student volunteers who are there to listen

I’ve always struggled to open up to family and friends. I feel guilty showing them how upset I am. I don’t like them to worry or think they’re responsible. I don’t want them to start tiptoeing around me. And I don’t want them to try and fix it.

These fears might be irrational, but they’re real to me. Maybe you can relate. What I eventually learned was that keeping everything inside is not the solution to my struggle.
