Term 4 Week 10

Question 1(a). List two reasons why teens are reluctant to call helplines despite the promise of anonymity and professional help.

Some teenagers feel that it will be weird to talk to stranger. Some feel that close friends are easier to communicate and talk to. They have more faith and trust in their friends and they think their friends are the people whom they can rely on.

Question 1(b). According to Ms Lily Chu, how does Touch Leadership and Mentoring prefer to help troubled teens?

Touch Leadership and Mentoring can be prefered to help troubled teenagers through more direct and effective means, such as educational workshops organised in schools, one to one counselling and home visits.

Question 2. Have you confided in your friends or family members about the problems you face in school/ life? Why or why not?

Yes. Confiding problems that one face in school lets one be free from un-needed stress that comes into your life when you get paranoid. Being able to tell your problems to your friends or family members lets them know what is happening to you and how to help you. It also proves to be a form of improving your relationship to them as they know more about you and what is happening to you.

Have you been betrayed by your friends before? If yes, how? (You may change the names of the people involved for privacy)
