Everyone has problems, whether they are big or small. The first step in dealing with it is to share. Opening up to someone with your problems isn’t the easiest thing to do in the world – especially if you are afraid of the reaction you may receive.

So how about expressing your emotions through song? Head to the “What’s Your Song” Facebook Application and type in how you’re feeling. The Emobot will pick out a song for you that corresponds to your emotion, and you can share that song with your friends through Facebook to let them know how you’re feeling.

You can also use the Emobot to cheer up a friend who’s going through a rough time. Your friend will definitely appreciate the gesture, and know that he or she is not alone.

Opening up isn’t quite as hard as you thought, speaking with someone allows you to go into more detail about all the thoughts and issues running through your mind. If you prefer to talk to someone anonymously, you can go to www.audiblehearts.sg. Audible Hearts is an online peer support network where youth can find a supportive network of peers.

Remember that sharing is a good first step because a problem shared is a problem halved.
