Personal Narrative: The Trevor Project

I could not take it anymore. My choices were to either pick up the phone or do something I could never take back. I picked up the phone and dialed the number of The Trevor Project lifeline, it was time for me to help myself. “Hello, Trevor Lifeline.” “Hi,” I said. “Are you in crisis?” They asked. “Yes,” I thought.

If I had $10 million to donate to a charity or nonprofit organization, I would give it to The Trevor Project because they aid teenagers through hard times, prevent suicide and help teens accept themselves. The Trevor Project helps aid people in crisis through hard times. For instance, they educated 22K people on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender

On The Trevor Project website there is a section called The Trevor Project support center where people can see frequently asked questions. There are lots of different categories other people ask questions about. Teenagers can click on these and see questions that they might also have.

Adolescence can find answers and it will help them guide themselves. It is more of helping themselves instead of other people helping them. Next, The Trevor Project has a social network website called TrevorSpace.org. This website was made for LGBTQ youth where people ages 13-24 can connect to people just like them.

This is a good idea because a lot of youth do not have friends like them or do not know how to find them. This way they have a safe way to talk to other people and make friends who understand them. That is how The Trevor Project helps teens accept themselves. In short, The Trevor Project helps people. They prevent suicide and teach teens to accept themselves by their websites and lifelines. That is why I would donate 10 million dollars to their organization. So, no matter how much money you have, anything you give could help a teen from hurting
