JEEZ, is that all you wrote guys? I thought mine was maybe a tad long, but it was about 3 and a half A4 pages long! And every one of my replies was horrendously long. Was that all we really needed to do? Bloody hell, I've been swindled.

You've not been swindled, you just went above and beyond the expectations and the requirements for Support Leader, is that not a good thing?

PEER SUPPORT LEADER
We want solid peer support leaders because they participate in helping our most fragile members.

Reasons:
I've been at LW for some time now, given i'm no veteran. I was a support leader at one time, but then a glitch happened with the system and everyone had to re-apply. That was at the time i left LW for some time to tackle personal and family problems. Coming back i couldn't beleive how much the site had improved. There was more support, less trolls and n00bs, It was almost like an entirly different site. It had improved so much it made me remember why i had joined in the first place. To help and be helped.

And that's what i'm striving for. I want the privelges of support leader so i can continue to aid the citizens of LW on a broader horizen. I want to use the hills i've had to climb in my life and use those experainces to help other people. That way they'll have someone who helped them through their times of strife unlike myself.

Examples of supportive posts:

The mods can because we have a place where we can look at all the current SL's apps; all we have to do is go through it and find ours.

For non-mods, I'm assuming they saved it in their notepad or something like that.

I believe they were too far apart/too close together. But it was either Enzeru/Jenny who talked me through submitting a better one next time =] I've been denied twice [for the above reasons, I have no idea which one this was] and accepted twice. Demoted on the mass demotion.
And the one accepted for the support leader status I have today:


I would like to be support leader because I like helping others. Simple as.

But, I also have experienced quite a lot in my past that I feel I could use to help others if they have a similar problem to one I may have once had. I also try and put myself in their shoes if I have not expeerienced the problem, so I can get some sort of insight. So I can help them. I have been told by many people around me that I am good at helping them, giving advice and making them see their own problem from a different view, just so they can help themselves. When I have a problem I like to help others because it takes me away from my own problems. I just want to help people be as happy as they can possibly be, show them that there is (cliché) light at the end of the tunnel. I don't know if it'll take me or another support leader to do that. But I'd like to try and help them in some way. That it doesn't have to end here, there is always something worth waiting for around the corner. Also, using the e-help system will allow me to help more people.

On the other aspect of support leader, I'd like to help new members find their way around the site, as at one point I was a support leader, and attempted applying for Mod, so I read all FAQs etc. And constantly read the updated areas, so I feel I could be of some use there.

I want to be a support leader because I like to help people.  At school people tend to go to me for their problems, and I am always there to help.  Another reason is that I actually follow up on replies.  I don't put something down and never come back to any.  There are some that I feel connected with, and want to see how they are going.  I like to go back through my replies and talk to the people who I have replied to and give advice there.


Hey! Thanks for your advice :-)
Im sorry about your childhood, but you telling me about it has brought up good points, I would hate for him to get attached to me and then we split up and it hurt his feelings and stuff. Im just so confused because as sweet and kind hearted and fun, and hilarious and smart as he is, he is not physically attractive and it sucks to say that but its the truth  and, being unattracted has just kinda turned me off period lately. Plus as of right now, he doesn't have a stable career and he still has a roomate. but he was upset when I told him I was thinking about this and even cried :-( I feel horrible

-Blondedancer10, June 7, 2006

I have been around the block a few times.  Stuff has happened to me and around me in almost all of the areas discussed on Livewire.  I, recently have had a friend kill himself.  One of the leading causes among teenagers is suicide.  I can give help to those in pain with more than just what I think has happened because I know form experience.  That is one example.  I go to parties, I have gay friends, have been around/ in fights, have had fierce arguments with my parents so bad, that I have gone and lived at my aunt's.  Experience will help me a lot as a support leader.

I have also been a support leader in the past.  I know how the novice and eHelp systems work.  I closed my account a while back when there was a lot of things going on in my life, and this one stupid argument pushed me over the top.  I had a positive support leader ranking and won an award for novice retention one week, as well as the fact that I was a manager of the support leader group.

The second time, I was demoted.  I wasn't on livewire a lot, so it was with good reason.  I was working the whole summer, and tend not to be on the computer that much.  During school, oddly enough, I am on more.  I am going to be more supportive and answer every eHelp that I have good advice for.

Thank you for listening to my ramblings, and I hope to help Livewire out again.

Shaun

My first one around was actually very thought out and all that.

After the SL debacle, I never resubmitted till recently and I didn't work that hard at it, and a friend let it go through, probably mainly based on previous helpfulness.

And no, I didn't save them.

Yeah, I know what you mean.  I totally BS'd my reasoning, obviously. It seriously took me over 6 months to quit being so lazy and re-apply for one.  They made me re-do it twice because they told me DT&RM replies don't really count towards support, which they failed to mention to begin with.  But I only had 1 link, so I quickly changed it out with a better one.

Well I've applied for this more than a few times, what with leaving and coming back so often.  Here's the last one:

It's been a while since I've filled one of these aps out, so do bear with me :)

My behavior on the forums lately hasn't been the best.  I've been active on this site twice so far this year, both times were spent mostly just posting for the sake of posting and contributing very little support value to the support sections of LiveWire.  Truth be told, I grew weary of it, I suppose one can only bicker with other members and create quote pyramids for so long before having their fill.

So recently I decided to visit the support forums to see if I still had it in me to give a helping hand to another member.  I replied to one topic in TDEI and was amazed by how good it felt.  I suppose I had forgotten what it felt like to reassure another human being, having not been supportive here since last year.  I quickly began replying to topics that I felt I could give the best support for and it's almost like a rekindled love affair, however cheesy that sounds.  I've placed more than the ten required responses in the forums over the past few days and I would really adore the opportunity to take it one step farther by becoming a support leader again.  I can continue helping members in the forums and give particularly meditated support to those desperate enough to use the eHelp system.

I've hit another rough spot in my life, and it seems giving support to other members in need is once again a way to escape my own life and mean something to someone else's.  While my actions lately again, haven't been wonderful, I never once took that into the support forum and am very glad I kept it to DTRM.  I have no intentions of going back to those ways, in fact I've only intentions to be supportive and playful on occasion.

Thank you for reading through this, and thank you in advance for either accepting this application or instructing me on what I can do to better myself for a future application.

-Swift

Well I didn't save the links to my helpful replies, but I did save the essay portion...:

I like to help people. I used to hate it. Mainly because, all my friends used me as a sounding-board. I thought the were just using me for their own good, until they realized that I actually gave good advice and was an overall nice and caring person. It was then that I realized that I had been given a gift.

I like helping people so much, that I've helped people I absolutely despise. You may be asking how I'm capable of such a thing? I was sitting in front of this sixteen year old girl, who I still to this day cannot stand. But all I saw was absolute pain and desperation. Tears, sobbing on the floor, the whole deal. What would you do in a situation where the one person you hated most in the world, is on the floor at the end of their rope? I did all I could do. Dropped to the floor and held her, and let her soak my shirt with her tears.

Everytime I help someone, I learn more about myself. It gives me a sense of purpose and meaning to be able to help a struggling person overcome a problem. I first came to this website searching for advice. But I soon found that there were people on this site with bigger problems. Problems I had experience with.

I know I've messed around on here a big, caused a few minor problems... But I'm really hoping you can look past that. I've changed my outlook on things, and on life in general. I think, that in helping people, we can help make the world a better place.

I know LiveWire is a place to help teens. I would be honored to be given the title of a Support Leader and help your support team. Thank you for your time, and thank you for reading.
