Hey Melissa
You guys are really good friends! And yes, you can volunteer here. Click Here for some information about that.
I hope you're enjoying it here.

Well Hello there it's nice to meet you, I'm Melissa. Ya so I'll tell you a little bit about why I came here. The thing that originally brought me here was one of my really good friends. She is having a really hard time with things have issues with suicidal thoughts and cutting things of that matter, she sent out a mass text message the other day and saying that many of us are wondering how to help and she told me about the Butterfly Project and that we should join for support, so draw a butterfly on our arm and show support for those who are struggling with things like that. And some how I ended up on this website and started looking around and noticed that I could help by volunteer and I would love to help. I have been through some of the things these teens have been through and I know how much it meant to me when someone was willing to talk with me or just listen. I just want to help so much. I am currently in my second year of college and I'm studying Social Work and I also think that this would also help me kind out get a feel for the kinds of things teens from all over the country are going through. So it's great that someone is already out there to be my friend so thank you So if you and advice for me on that that would be wonderful. Thanks for introducing yourself

Hello there, welcome to TeenHelp!
Its wonderful that you've started helping out around here already, I'm sure all the other members appreciate it!

I saw you're new so I wanted to stop by and offer a warm welcome. My name is Nicole and I'm one of many buddies here. You'll see a lot of us around here. Our job is to help out new members, so feel free to ask me or another member with a green username if you have any questions. My inbox is always open if you ever need a friend as well. <3

Since you're new here, you should post in the Arrivals&Departures. That way people can get to know what an awesome person you are.

You should also read up on How to Use the Forums and Obtaining Advice or Support. That should help to get you started!
Come into the chat room sometime too, it’s another great way to make some friends here. I'm in there pretty often, so you'll already know someone in there.

So after all that, how are you today?
