I would just like to point out that proper procedure and working procedure are typically different.

For instance, me.

I have no one offline to talk to about any of my problems, and 99% of sources I've talked to about various issues all say the basic same things instead of trying from a friendly, want-to-help, personalized point-of-view. Humans aren't robots, but other humans are trained to think they are.

But to be fair with everyone, I will say this much that this is my personal opinion and I myself try to suggest offline methods before going with the other method (personalizing and just being there for 'em) if they reject the previously stated ones. My personal opinion is that everyone has the capability and the ability to be kind, listen to other's problems, and help as best they can in whatever way.

Also: "If you are under 18, then please consider talking to your parents..." I will say that in reality, most teens don't feel comfortable talking to their parents. All of my offline friends (all right, all two of them) have parent issues, and most of my online ones do, of some sort. And as I hinted, officials are quite official and again, as I am currently stating my unbiased and unexaggerated opinion, I myself try to stay away from anything that could possibly jump-the-gun on anything mental-health related, for several reasons, which I see no reason to go into here.

But for most people, methods like going to school counselors usually work. I know from experience that it worked for me, but then, I was scheduled to go there, due to my Autism. And I've went to non-school counselors as well, and the both of those two are the only ones who ever truly helped me.
