Who do young people turn to for advice?

Some of them can turn to friends or family, people who can be relied upon to give good sensible advice, drawn from years of experience, with a compassionate manner. However, their family are not always best for advice. This is because they so often have their best interests at heart; they can't help but become passionate and swayed by their emotion when trying to help them. They are emotionally involved, and often are too close to the individual to be able to see the solution.

The problem with turning to their friends is that most often, they themselves are too young, and unfortunately with lack of knowledge and experience, they give advice, which is not usually the correct or appropriate action for the young person to follow.
Sometimes, when young people turn to friends for advice, they can have ulterior motives, and can recommend a course of action that risks the least impact for them, and leaves your young ones, agonising over a dilemma or facing a seemingly insoluble crisis.

Importantly, because we aren't personally connected with young people, our advice is given honestly and objectively. We will never judge any young person; knowing next to nothing about them, but jumping to conclusions. We won't take sides, make religious claims, dictate ethics or discriminate in any way possible. Our sole belief is that we should give young people an objective, honest appraisal of their situation, together with options to move forward. We want to inspire confidence in young people, to help them see what they can do to help themselves. We take time to listen to young people and understand their concerns and fears.
