Sarah - 16 years old

I have had lots of trouble sleeping, enjoying various activities and have occasionally avoided contact from friends.

Early June 2016 on the day of my last exam I found out that my mum has stage 3 Ovarian cancer. She has had breast cancer and survived it but I was told that this type is more serious.

I have had lots of trouble sleeping, enjoying various activities and have occasionally avoided contact from friends. Before we knew, my mum's tummy was filling with liquid and I knew that it was something bad, that it was something terrible. And I still have a bad feeling.

My dad is also very stressed out and I'm worried about him as well. Lots of people have said "try to be positive about it, it's going to be alright" but it's easier said than done and I'm finding it very hard. Which is why I've come here.
