A teenager helping teenagers...Good idea?!
Question: A teenager helping teenagers!.!.!.Good idea!?
Well, I used to have self-esteem issues!. Due to my self-esteem issues, my peers criticized me harshly and I took it all in!. I became insecure and pushed out anything that was positive about me!. All I did was face my negative side and think my peers were perfect while I was the bad guy!. But then, one day, I texted my health teacher with questions about the upcoming exam, and pretty soon, we were having conversations about my low self-esteem and he helped me raise it!. I also read the health textbook and found some helpful tips!. Now, I have very high self-esteem and I'm grateful to my health teacher for helping me!. I wanted to repay him for his help, but unfortunately, he went back to America to become a better teacher (I'm in South Korea)!. So instead, I decided to help teenagers around the world who are also suffering with similar issues like mine and issues revolving suicide (I've had an experience with one of my peers who wanted to commit suicide), drugs, alcohol, and stuff like that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it is a wonderful idea!
Ever been to a mental health professional, some of them are useless!
Kids need other kids to talk too!. Heck I am not a kid today, many parents have no clue as to what it is like to be a kid today, if they say they do they are lying! Most teachers, medical professionals are not kids either!.!.!.!.!.
Plus with helping other kids out you will learn more about yourself, or lets hope so!
Great idea, run with it!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its a great idea! Keep up the good workWww@Answer-Health@Com
This can be a very good thing but!. Please dont start thinking you are some kind of guru, there will be problems bigger than you can handle and in that case you need to have a plan!. I mean you can try to talk someone out of suicide but on the same token if they are halfway around the world what can you do!. You need to have an answer for when you cannot help someone or you dont have advice, and you need to have a plan of what you will do if someone confides in you that they plan to hurt themselves or others!. But peer support systems are a great idea!.!.!.just plan ahead!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think it sounds like a great idea to help others!. It is a good idea if you know what you are doing though, like if you've been through the same stuff as others than you can definitely help them, but if you end up talking to someone who is going through something you can understand or relate to, you may not be able to help them as much!. Just thought I may point that out!. But honestly, I think it is great that you want to help other people!. Just be sure you talk to people you know how to help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Sure , teens can relate to other teens therefore sometimes you will be able to get through to them better than an adult would , I'm 16 myself and I've been through everything lol so I pretty much do the same thing your trying to do , I hang around here trying to cheer up and help any one I can , I have also been told by my friends I'm very good at cheering them up and helping them deal with their issues , so yeah go ahead helping is always a good thing keep up the good work man!Www@Answer-Health@Com
