Why Contribute To This Site?
We are up and running 24/7 so no youth that needs help is left behind. I envision this site to be up and running as long as I am up and running so that every cry is heard and every cry is answered. Never at any charge to the Teen or Young Adult 13 years old to 29 years old.
But I need your help. Please hear me and give whatever you can; no amount is too small just give so we can be there and always be there no matter what. I pray you hear my prayers as we are all in this together and I will do the work but I can't do it alone and without your help.
Everyone who is associated with this site works for no pay and donates their skills and time.
I have been blessed with these people donating four years of their skills, time and patience asking for nothing in return except for me to keep this site up because we have helped over a thousand teens world-wide so far.
I have helped some very troubled teens; suicidal, abused, pregnant teens, in trouble with the law, homeless and every kind of problem you can imagine that no teen should have to be facing, much less facing alone.
This world has changed and so has what our youth has to deal with during their developmental years. The Internet has become "the" place many teens of today have to turn to for positive help. Sometimes this is their last try at reaching out for help. So we need new approaches on how we help our teens. This site addresses all the issues that are affecting our society, families and young people in the 21st century. We use progressive, realistic and successful approaches and skills. This site uses my self developed Behavioral Therapy called "Life-Works".
I do not counsel I teach and have found that through teaching "Life-Rules", our teenagers are finding knowledge they never had before and this is empowering them to be able to grow, question and learn how to make decisions based on knowledge and the consequences from their decisions. From this knowledge they are able to make more informed, enlightened and less costly mistakes because they understand the process of decision making that many other generations before did not have. That is why I developed "Life-Rules" they work and you can use them for every part of your life so that you are not having to make costly mistakes until you are much older and then say "if I had only known then what I know now". Teens are very insightful and want to do what is best for themselves but they must be given the right tools to learn by. This is what Lookingforadvice.org does and the teens and young adults come back and back for more learning so they can make decisions that bring them the kind of self and life they want instead of just being depressed, frustrated and finding that they are taking the same path those before them did and didn't work.
This is the 21st Century, and things
have changed. What worked before may not work anymore. I have found that out in my own life.
So I studied and developed "Life-Works" and it works 100% because it matches
the problem with what we each want for a solution. How much
better can it get? Finally, for the first time in my life time have I found a Therapy that
will actually guide me to where I want to go and who I want to be without having to make all
the old mistakes along the way.
You are contributing to yourself here too as this Behavioral Therapy can and should be learned and used
by adults aswell. It is worth the time and effort because you get back what you put into it.
So invest in your future, our children's future, societies future and the motivation for more therapies to come out that fit the age and situations we are living in today. Let's get to the present and realize the past is gone and a new age is here to stay with a whole new set of issues, questions, problems, challenges and a whole new life for all of us alive now and in the near future
Simply put we are "saving teens"; giving them a positive sense of self. We teach teens what they are not getting: the skills to work through their issues, how to handle their issues in a positive and productive manner and the techniques they need so that they feel "in control" instead of "out of control". This empowers them and transforms their attitudes so that they now see another option other than going towards destructive behavior.
Read some of the testimonials, click on them to read the whole letter.
Many of the teens I have helped stay in touch with me after 4 years.
I witness miracles every day from what this new Behavioral Therapy can do for all of us. Though this site focuses on Teens and Young Adults.
Learn all that "Life-Works" has to offer you; a wealth of knowledge, a lifetime of skills that you didn't know you were missing and a life filled with positive self esteem, positive self growth, a self you design yourself and a life made the way you want it. Have it all because you can with this new Therapy. You can have it all your way, no mistake about it. I have proved it and continue to prove it daily with my work with both Young Adults and Adults.
Nothing is impossible, but we cannot do it alone. We need your help. These young people are the future so please help us give teens a future and our world a healthy and positive future.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Thank You All So Much For Believing And Giving
God Bless all of you for believing in the work we do and what I teach all of the teens that reach out to us for some kind of help before they give up.

These people have fought for me, built this site, run this site, stand by me, write everyone they can think of for help and contributions and most of all stand by my work and believe what I am doing on this site is much more than giving advice. The methods I use actually change lives and save lives that would otherwise be lost.
