Hi all. Had a long chat with my teenage daughter. She finds it really hard to make friends, feels lonely, generally ‘down’ often. Was really upset last night about life in general. Said she didn’t really know why she’s upset. She feels that she’s not bright enough, not pretty enough, not slim enough. We’ve had a good chat and spent time together today. She’s agreed to speak to the school counsellor on Monday and to not keep problems inside but share them with me and her Dad. But what I want to know is if there are any good websites or apps that I could recommend to her. We’re doing all we can to build her self esteem but think this may be another tool. Thanks.

Yes. Try The Mix which offers lots of different types of help which you can see here to under 25s.

Is there any kind of team sport she could get into OP? It may help build her confidence and help her make new friends. Fresh air and exercise are great for depression and low mood.
