Notice anything unusual about these teenagers?  If you're answer is no then you're in with the majority who would say they look like normal, average teens.  And, you're right.  They are.  Carefree, no problems, no worries.

At least, it would appear so on the outside.  Underneath the "I'm okay" exterior is a young person dealing with problems and circumstances they are ill equiped to handle.  One of them might be pregnant.  Another might be fighting a drug use problem.  One might be depressed or dealing with an abusive home situation.  For sure they have friends that are facing these problems and a host of others.

C.H.A.T. for Teens is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping teens handle the storms of modern adolescent life.  We provide the guidance, encouragement and compassion they need to mature into healthy adults.  How?  By giving them the opportunity to talk about life safely, securely and annonymously with trained adult coaches - live - on the Internet.  By doing so, we can prevent the "average" teen from becoming a negative statistic.
