Question

The ringing of the phone runs through my head, telling me someone needs help. I pick it up and   36   the routine, “Teen Lifeline, this is Amber. ” About 45 minutes later I hang up, feeling pleased because I’ve   37   another teen. Volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize how to deal with my own 38  and help others.

“My mom is always fighting with me. I want to run away. ” Some teens feel their   39   is a prison, rather than a place of shelter and safety. They feel parents are only there to make their lives   40   . We try to help the teens realize the danger they could be in   41   giving them advice. All we can do is to ask questions. We also try to    42   where the teens would go and how they would survive. We give them a phone number if they   43   don’t want to live in their “prison”.

“I don’t want to   44   any more” is something we hear, and suicide（自杀）calls are some of the hardest to    45   . We try to discover why they want to take their lives and how   46   they are by asking them to rate it on a scale of one to ten. One means they are    47   suicide but haven’t decided how, and ten means they are always thinking about it and have a    48   . We ask them to make a promise that they will not hurt   49   . And sometimes we ask for their telephone numbers   50   we can call back to make sure that they are okay.

Although many calls are about relatively   51   problems, volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize I’m not the   52   person with problems, and has taught me how to    53   with my heart. I have made a   54   and saved many lives possibly even my own,   55   .
