Get HelpMissy can help you pause, sort a thought, or borrow some words. She cannot keep you safe, handle an emergency, diagnose what is happening, or replace a trusted adult.
This could be a parent or caregiver, mentor, teacher, school counselor, coach, relative, or another adult you trust.
“I need help with something and I don’t know what to do. Can you stay with me while we figure out the next step?”
Missy’s Room will not ask you to explain the private situation online. If you want help, bring a real person into the moment.
In the United States, call 911 or your local emergency service if you or someone else may be in immediate danger.
In the U.S., call or text 988 for free, confidential crisis support.
Open 988 Lifeline ↗Call or text 800-422-4453. For text support, Childhelp says to text GO to that number. Childhelp is a support/resource hotline, not a replacement for 911 in an emergency.
Open Childhelp ↗These links leave Becoming Her Alliance and open services with their own privacy practices.
Your journal and ordinary private thoughts can belong to you. If something is unsafe, scary, or too big to carry alone, telling a trusted adult is not “breaking” your privacy.
If a young person discloses a safety concern, use the safeguarding, program, legal, clinical, or emergency process appropriate to your role and location. Do not route a serious disclosure through Missy’s Room.
