| | Helpful Stranger's profile:Well, I don't really have much to say, except from the fact that I love to help others - I always have, and I can't imagine myself ever feeling the need not to!
Even though I'm only at the young age of 14, I feel as if I've already lived through a lot (I didn't have a "normal" Childhood), and have observed people and their behaviour from a young age, making me feel more insightful than most people of my age group.
I hope to become a Psychologist at an older age, and this website gives me more experience of the events to come (not just career wise).
Believe it or not, not only do I learn from other people's answers, but I also learn from the questions asked, so I find it an honour to read and answer them :^)
I've never actually asked a question on this website, but I have asked several users for advice, and all have been very helpful. So, for that, I thank you all :^D
Please feel free to mail me with any questions, or just to talk :^)
