A few days ago I came across an 'organisation', more like how Mr Ben Brown described it, a 'move'! It's a website, called Rise Above, made by young people for young people to share their experiences and stories, seek advice, play games and talk about what matters to all, really.
Rise Above discusses various topics about friends and family, puberty, relationships and self confidence and so many other topics that interests mostly teenagers. I say teenagers because at their age, everything is changing, the body, the mind, the way they deal with things and the decisions they have to make... it just seems so difficult and confusing, causing them to stress out and feel down.
I think with such a community out there, those who're lost can find their way back and hopefully handle things in a... more mature way. You're probably wondering why I chose the term "lost", simply because at some point I was lost and I needed someone to talk to but was mostly shy and part of me was afraid of being judged.
Believe it or not, it never occurred to me to look for help online before, and now that I know about Rise Above and would've definitely checked it out if it existed back when I was in my early teenage, I want to share it with as many teenagers as I can to help as many of them as I can! (I have a feeling this sentence contained a lot of grammatical mistakes and didn't make much sense :P.... I hope you get the point)
If you decide to check them out, which I highly recommend, you'll notice that these topics aren't discussed in a boring way, but are brought to you by your favourite Youtubers, some of whom are Dan and Phil, KickThePj and so many more!
I will end this post here since I felt like I rambled a lot, but before I do I will leave some information for you about Rise Above, should you want to know more. Until then, take care and I'll see you soon.
