Hello there and welcome to teen help! My name is Chandler and I am a Buddy here on teen help. I'd like to introduce you to a few areas of the site that might be beneficial to your success here on teen help. The first area of the site is going to be the arrivals and departures thread which is where you can make your first post and let us know a little bit more about yourself. The Arrivals and Departures thread can be found here http://www.teenhelp.org/welcome. The next area of the site that I want to show you will be the "help link". Help Link is our email based way to obtain support and advice on our wonderful site. How help link works is that you click on the help link button in the corner of the tool bar at the top of the page, you then create a support and advice ticket, when your done with that A lovely Help Link Mentor will log into the help link system and look through the available tickets and post advice that's relative to that topic. One thing about Help Link is that you need to remember your ticket number so you can view the support and advice that you have obtained. The last area of the site that I want to show you will be the Hot Lines section. What happens here is that there's a bunch of hotlines that are available for you to call when you need them depending on the country that you live in. The hotlines page can be found here http://www.teenhelp.org/hotlines. Now that that's done I want to find out more about you . I realize that your 16 years old, when's your birthday? Do you have any hobbies? Do you like playing or watching any sports? I'll get us started, my birthday is on July 20th. My Hobbies are coming onto TH and meeting amazing new users like yourself . And I love playing soccer, softball, basketball, and Swimming. I hope you have found this information helpful. If you have any questions about TH in general or a specific part of TH don't hesitate to let either myself or another Buddy know. Once again welcome to TH. Hope you have an amazing time here.
