I am working on my last major grade in my tech class for school. – we were told to do a presentation on something that had an impact on the world and I chose to discuss the matter of hotlines.

We as people are so influenced by our surroundings it is easy to get caught up in the middle of things and even harder to stand up for yourself. some people feel insecure or bothered and isolate themselves from their peers, loved ones and the world itself. It gets to a certain point where certain actions are taken place when precautions should have been taken.

We accumulated hotlines over time for a reason. you as a person has a voice that you are able to stand up and use whether it is anonymous or public. They have created hotlines for a safe environment, so there is someone to listen to you without judgement or discomfort, so that you are able to get things off your chest that maybe you are too afraid to say to a close peer, they are there to help guide you in the direction in which you feel most happy, it is a one hundred percent confidential zone. you can sit in silence or rant for hours – they are professionally trained.

Hotlines are often times better than talking to someone you know because things then can’t get spread around, you get things off your mind while it still being in the atmosphere. you know that you are not being judged and that you do not even have to reveal your identity.

Hotlines are one thousand percent optional but that doesn’t mean we as a community will not encourage you to use them – they are there and they can be very helpful if you wish they to be.

spread the word, encourage them, make a difference and impact the world around you.
