　　Sometimes the most difficult thing about feelings is sharing them with others．Sharing your feelings helps you when your feelings are good and when they aren’t so good．

　　Before you can share them with anyone, you have to figure out your feelings．When you’re trying to figure out your feelings, it might help to remember something that happened and think about how it made you feel．Then you can say, “I feel sad when my friend doesn’t play with me” or “I feel angry when my brother always wins at baseball．” This can help you figure out your own feelings．It also gives the person you’re talking with more information about what makes you angry．

　　It can be really hard not to tell anyone that you’re feeling sad, worried, or angry．If you keep feelings locked inside, it can even make you feel sick!

　　But if you talk with someone like your mom or dad, you will always start to feel better．Now you’re not all alone with your problems or worries．Your mom and dad want to know if you have problems because they love you．What if a kid doesn’t want to talk with mom or dad?Then find another trusted adult, like a relative or a counselor at school．

　　If you think you’ll have trouble saying what’s on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper．A kid doesn’t have to share every feeling he or she has, but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help．You don’t have to solve every problem on your own．Sometimes you need help．Talking about your feelings can be the first step．
