ChildLine is
a UK-based private and confidential service for young people up to the
age of 19. Children and teens can call, email, or chat with a ChildLine
counselor about anything that's bothering them – no problem is too big
or too small. ChildLine counselors are trained staff and volunteers who
all have experience listening and talking to youth. They are individuals
who come from various backgrounds with one thing in common: a sincere
desire to help troubled kids and teens.
ChildLine is
provided by the NSPCC, a charity dedicated to ending cruelty to children
in the UK. The service was launched in October 1986 by Esther Rantzen.
During its first year, ChildLine assisted 23,000 young people. Since
then, ChildLine has counseled more than 2.6 million children on a number
of issues, including bullying, physical abuse, and sexual abuse.
ChildLine launched its website in October 2009, offering help to
children online for the first time.
