What suicide hotlines can a 16(soon 17) year old join ?
What suicide hotlines can I join as a 16 year old? (Turning 17 in late-march) I am bilingual, I speak both french and english. This expands my reach of possible organisations out to canada (that being said, I'd personally want to avoid France because I'm rather disconnected from french/european culture as an American migrant). I know that there are some organisations out there that do provide opportunities for 16 year olds. After a ton of searching(like a month worth), I have only found 2 that I can actually join: https://samaritanshope.org/our-services/hey-sam/volunteer-with-hey-sam/ https://calyouth.org/ I have applied to both but I'd still like to apply to more just in case. Every organisation out there either doesn't accept 16 year olds, or doesn't provide online tutoring/work. It has been so incredibly unsatisfying to find an organisation that had a low minimum age bar yet was located on the other side of the US. If it helps, I live in San Fransisco. So the only possibilities are: 1. Organisation that's very close to SF and does accept people of my age(I looked through all of them as far as I know) 2. Organisation that offers online training and work for people of my age either in US or Canada(More likely)

Palo AltoDoes attendance really matter in highschool to colleges? If so, how much do they care?
Hello! I'd like to start off by saying, I have UC (Ulcerative Colitis) which means I have a lot of appointments and days where I'm in a lot of pain. It also takes a bit of a toll on my mental health. That all causes me to miss a decent amount of days in school. I'm starting to get worried that because my attendance is starting to get bad, that I won't be able to live out my dream in college. Will I actually be impacted by this?
