Hi Heather! Welcome to
TH 
I'm Emily, and I'm a buddy here. We help new users with any questions they might have about the site, and just try to be around to make sure everyone settles in okay!
Some things that might help you get more involved around here are:
1.) Head over to the Arrivals and Departures forum and make a thread introducing yourself to everyone. It can be just a quick "Hi, I'm new around here!" or you can tell us more about yourself and what brought you to TeenHelp. Whatever suits your fancy! It's just a great way to start meeting other users and for us to be able to meet you!
2.) The chatroom. It's a fun place to go hang out. And on Saturdays (like today!) we have Facilitated Discussions, which are about various topics each week. It's a time to go in the
FD chat and learn/talk about whatever the week's topic is and hopefully gain something positive from it! This week's discussion is about taking care of others. There are three discussions, so hopefully you can find one that is at a time that works for you and check it out if you're interested. Or just pop in the chat lobby if you want. It's always a fun time in there!
3.) Posting in the forums is kind of a given, but it's a great way to get involved. Whether you are seeking advice and support or giving it, the forums cover a wide range of topics. Don't ever hesitate to make a thread or anything! Post away

4.) The blogs are an area of the site that I personally really enjoy. You can make your own blog and well...just blog to your heart's content.
Those are just a few ideas of how you can get involved around here. I hope you're finding your way around alright. If there's anything you have a questions about, or if you need anything...just give me a holler!
Take care,
Emily
