Hey there Erin!
Welcome to TeenHelp! My name is Alessa and I'm a buddy here. Buddies have light green usernames and are here to help new users get started and feel comfortable. Glad to see you have already started posting on our forums! Don't forget to introduce yourself on the Arrivals and Departures forum. It's a great way to meet new people and learn about all the features here on TH! There are lots of things to do such as post on the forums, hang in the chat room, join some social groups, blog about your feelings, and lots more! If you ever need anything don't hesitate to drop me a PM.
Hope to see ya around,
