Term 3 Week 9
1a) List two reasons why teens are reluctant to call helplines despite the promise of anonymity and professional help.
teenagers think that calling help line is useless and they do not like to talk to strangers as they think that calling them would be a waste of time
b) According to Ms Lily Chu, how does Touch Leadership and Mentoring prefer to help troubled teens?
It is more effective and direct and this can educate student who are in the stage of facing problem to solve their upcoming problems through helps from touch leadership and mentoring
2) Have you confided in your friends or family members about the problems you face in school/ life? Why or why not?
not really, i just bottle it up and keep it to myself as i do not feel that i need to tell others about my problem unless i cannot solve it myself, then i will tell to my best friend even though we are not from the same school , he also help me by encouraging me and vice versa.
Have you been betrayed by your friends before? If yes, how? (You may change the names of the people involved for privacy)
yes, i feel very guilty about betraying him as makes him feel angry about me as he think that i am not being a good friend at all, unless it is betraying him for helping him, like telling teacher that he is cheating, and if i ever betrayed anyone that read this, i am truly very sorry.
