EQ
Yesterday I went to volunteer as a counsellor for a Help Line for young people.
I was handed a long questionnaire to fill with questions like:
- How do you deal with anger?
- Have you ever felt cheated? How did you deal with the situation.
- Have you ever been through a traumatic phase in your life?
- How do you feel when someone questions your integrity?
I felt like running out of the room. But facing the woman who gave me the form, explaining why I wanted to run out of the room seemed like a worse situation.
So I decided to follow the advice at the top of the form to the T "Be honest, there are no right or wrong answers". And gave plenty of evidence of being immature and an emotional cripple.
I will be deemed too unstable to counsel. :/

I've always wondered... Wouldn't you be more compassionate or understanding if you've experienced the kind of stuff these kids are going through, rather than if you always led a perfectly uncomplicated life? I wouldn't give up just yet.

Agree wholeheartedly with Anita. What is more relevant is the amount of understanding you can bring to the situation and help young people.
