HOH OHO

Everyone, even Santa Claus, has problems from time to time.ย  (You can imagine how difficult it is getting everything ready for Christmas Eve!)ย  And Santa Claus knows that when you face problems in your life it really helps when you can talk to someone, whether it's someone in your family or a good friend.

If you don't have someone you can talk to, then Santa *really* wants you to visit the website of one of the great organizations listed below or, better yet, call them right now!ย  Each one has wonderful people who are there for you to talk to.ย  (Think of them as elves in training!ย  HO!!ย  Ho!!ย  ho!!).

Love,

Answers About Children in Crisis questions


A Grumpy Old Elf answers your questions about Children's Hotlines:

Who can I call for help?


I may be a grumpy elf, but I know who you can call for help! There's a list of phone numbers on this page. Call the friends at these numbers if you are sad. I promise they won't be grumpy like me!

Help, I am being bullied. What do I do?


I'm glad you told me you're being bullied! Remember it's not your fault. Nobody deserves to be bullied. You need to tell someone you trust, like a parent or teacher, about this. You can also call a friend at one of the numbers on this page. They really can help you!

When should I call a helpline?


Well, I hope nothing bad ever happens to you (because then I would be a SAD and grumpy elf!). There are many times you should call for help. Here are some:
  • if you are being bullied
  • if you don't eat enough
  • if you eat too much
  • if you know someone who is dying
  • if you know someone who is really sick or has a bad disease (like cancer)
  • if you feel like running away
  • if someone is hitting you or hurting you
  • if someone is touching you where they shouldn't
  • if something is making you sad or upsetting you

Really, if anything is making you really sad, I want you to call these friends for help RIGHT NOW! (That would make this grumpy elf HAPPY!)
