Teen Talk

Announcer: Teens are logging on to this Website to talk about everything from drugs to depression to being overloaded with work.

Teen Girl 1: It's a great opportunity. A lot of times, just talking about something can really solve a problem. I've witnessed several occasions when just kids who don't even know each other sit down and talk, how much it can really help someone work through a problem to just talk with somebody and realize there's other people who have the same problems in common with them. And how they solved it can help to reach the other person's solution as well.

Woman: The number 1 goal, of course, was to give the teens a place to go to find the resources they might need if they were in crisis or didn't have anybody they could turn to with their problems.

Announcer: The Website was donated by a company called Virtual Visibility, and they maintain it for free. Operators say it's their way of giving back to the community and helping to ensure that teens get the help they need before it's too late. With Crime Watch, Christie Castellano for ABC News.
