Hey

[bandgeek1022]

Hi I am 17 and new to the site. I don't really know how to start this whole thing. And to tell you the truth I am kinda scared to tell my story. I don't know where to begin. Any suggestions. Or anything that you think would be helpful.

Hello I'm also new. I'm the opposite: I'm full of words, But not enough, or not the right, outlets.

It's ok, there's no pressure here. Just post as much or as little as you're comfortable with and you won't be judged. Read as much as you like and post as much as you like.

Does anyone have any suggestion for starting the conversation? I want to tell someone. But don't know how to begin.

Hi Bandgeek, I know we met in chat last night but I still wanted to take a moment to welcome you to AS I really hope that you find all of the answers you are looking for here. It is never easy to tell your story, my only suggestion would be to write it out first if you are having trouble finding the words. That seemed to help me. I hope you are able to find your voice soon Take care.
