You can always speak with a close friend or find support websites, such as 7 Cups, to vent and speak to someone about your thoughts and emotions.

You can go for a run; write your feelings in a journal or express yourself through poetry or song; scream into your pillow; talk to a supportive friend; find a great listener on 7 Cups Of Tea :). There are lots of ways you can vent, even if showing emotion isn't encouraged in your family.

Just tell them how you feel. Letting feelings out is not a bad thing. They're your family, they will understand.

Your friends are really great people you can vent to, or another trusted adult at school is always a good idea.

There are many forms of expressing ones emotions. Often times, people think of "venting" as a communicating verbally, but there are many other ways to vent. Such ways include painting, listening to music, writing in a journal, or even coming onto 7 cups and listening to our trained listeners!

Is there someone else in whom you can confide, like a family member or a good friend? Is it possible to see a therapist (many colleges offer free therapeutic services)? Does talking to a listener on here one-on-one help, or perhaps the group chat? You can also vent in other ways, like art, music, and writing. What do you imagine would relieve you?

Online of course! Talk to online listeners on 7 Cups of Tea or Blah Therapy, other ways you can express yourself is through a hobby such as writing or art. Invest in something productive and turn your emotions into something beautiful/meaningful

7 cups is a wonderful way to do just that. If you don't have a signal, a friend works, or even a diary. Many also like art or poetry as coping mechanisms.
