Hello and welcome to TeenHelp! My name is Sam and I'm a Community Mentor here. Basically, that means I'm around to answer any questions that you might have about the different features offered on the site, kind of like your own personal tour guide. Of course, I'm also always around for a chat! I love getting to know our new users.

One of the first things I like to recommend to our new users is taking a moment to create a thread in our Arrivals and Departures forum (here). It's a quick and easy way to introduce yourself to our community, and I know everyone would love to give you a proper TeenHelp welcome. After you've done that, spend some time looking around the forums! You can engage with posts from other users and ask for support in anything that you might be going through yourself.

If I tried to list everything TeenHelp has to offer, we'd be here all day. But, I'll recommend a few different areas to get you started! One of my personal favorite parts of the site is our Chat Room (here). It's a great place to get to connect with other members in real time, with designated rooms for general conversations, asking for or giving support, and uplifting things! I've made some of my closest friends on the site in Chat and I think you could too. If you enjoy learning about a variety of topics, I'd definitely recommend checking out our Articles section (here). Our team of writers always does an amazing job putting together amazing, informative pieces that range from specific things someone might be dealing with to fun crafts or recipes that you can try yourself.

If there's anything specific that you're looking to get out of TeenHelp, please let me know! I'd be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

I'm really looking forward to seeing you around the site and getting to know you better!
