Sometimes it's good to talk

Being able to text txm8 for information and advice is great, but it's not always easy to discuss complicated sex and relationship issues by text and sometimes you need to talk to someone – telephone helplines give you the chance to speak about your problems anonymously and confidentially. They are also good if you need emergency help and advice. We recommend:
