If you still have them of course.
Addition: You can ask a mod if they can bring up your SL application and then you'd have it to post.

I see no reason why we can't post them. It will give other members who want to become support leaders a good reference of what kind of posts are expected from a Support Leader.

I did not save mine.
I think mine were pretty much on par. Nothing extra special. I tried not to post anything better than my usual level of helpfulness, if that. I figured I'd rather not get excepted for something that wasn't what I can put out consitantly. Does that make sense? >_>

THey were all TDEI and TS, though. The first time I applied they were like, 8 different forums, and the mod who reviewed it rejected it for being too broad. Makes sense, since not too many people ehelp about homework.

I was already a mod at that point, and an SL, but the system made us all send in applications anyhow, so all the mods BSed them.

Oh yes, it was very supportive.

But really, at the time I really did apply, I think we only needed like 5 links, and I think we just PMed them to David or something. I would guess that all my replies were from Teen Sexuality, but I really do not remember at all.

I think I was like the first or second SL ever. *Beams*

Besides perhaps David himself, that must have been quite something.

I hope other Support Leaders and members do stumble across this topic, because I have to say when I was first applying for SL the ... bar I had to reach seemed quite ambiguous, but maybe that was just me. :P

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

Reasons:
I feel that I have the ability to provide thoughtful and offer good suggestions for people who are experiencing emotional and other problems. I self-injure (but am working on stopping) so I have the ability to empathize with self-mutilaters and offer suggestions on how to stop, and also provide alternatives and coping mechanisms for dealing with self-injury. I have been depressed in the past, so I know and recognize the importance of talking (perferrably with a trained professional, but on LW also) and letting emotions out. I am a peer mediator at my school and I talk to classmates dealing with depression, self-injury, parental problems, stress problems, and people who are afraid to talk to a counselor. I am a good listener and can almost always provide a comforting response or possible solution or idea to help solve a problem someone might be experiencing. By reading other Support Leader's posts, I feel that I have gained the knowledge of what constitutes a supportive and helpful reply, and I can provide possible alternatives and idea's to people's problems that might not have been thought of before. If chosen, I will work hard to help provide teens with alternatives to things such as suicide, cutting, and other self destructive acts. Thank you for considering me to be a part of the Support Leader team.

I would like to be a support leader again.

I feel like I have the knowledge and experience to help others.  I've been through a lot in my life, and that means that I can relate to people seeking advice and help them.  I feel like my advice is helpful to others.  I try to think about an issue and come up with many possible solutions before deciding which is the best option.  And I think that thoughtfulness is a good quality.

In the past, I think I helped a lot through the ehelp system and I would love to have that opportunity again.  I think that I have a lot of well thought out replies to offer.  And I have no intentions of closing my account again.  

I think that through out my time on LW I've proved my ability to offer advice and support to teens, and I'd just like the privilege of being able to extend my help to those who send in e helps.

Thanks for considering my application.

----

Reason Section:
First off, I've read topics and heard about how there is a need for more active Support Leaders on Live Wire. That's one of the reasons I'm applying. I've been on LiveWire 100% of the last 30 days. Now, most of that time is spent worthlessly piddling away my time on topics that aren't constructive. But I would be grateful to be a more constructive member, and would have more than ample time to dedicate to fulfilling the duties of a Support Leader. I've also been a member of LiveWire for nearly a year and a half now (my original account was bHo) So it can be correctly assumed that I'll be at LiveWire for a good while longer, and would be able to dedicate that time to, hopefully, being a constructive and active Support Leader.

Some of my replies (not the ones linked, just genreal replies in topics that you may have noticed) may contain, what some would consider spam, sarcasm, and overwhelming silliness. But rest assured that I tend to be a good judge of when a bit of fun is allowed, and when there is a serious problem that requires a serious answer. But enough of that, onto slightly more important things:

Though I may not always have a fix-all solution to teens problems, I can usually provide some help. Sometimes it may just be a reference to someone that could help more than myself, and sometimes it may just be something to help them until the problem gets solved.
Normally, I can relate to many problems that fellow teens have. Either from personal experience, or from having friends with similar problems. And I can more than not use an example to try and help a person in need of support.
Also, and I hope a couple of my links back this up, I tend to get back to a topic a few times, and try to keep helping until the original poster stops responding and, hopefully, isn't in need of any more help.

Like I mentioned, I'm, if I may be so bold as to say, knowledgable about a fair amount of teen problems. And I've also got a fair amount of more physical, academic, if you will, knowledge that could be in use. Having been through numerous Health, Sexual Education (concerning both males and females), and Fitness classes, I can also be of assistance in those areas.
Also, again if I may be so bold to say, I have a 4.0 GPA and can normally help with problems concerning school work as long as they aren't from classes more advanced than the ones I've taken.

I feel I'm a mature teen, that would be able to help other teens. I believe that would be a good, active addition to the Support Leader team. And I think that, if I were a Support Leader, I'd be able to give constructive advice and help achieve the goal that LiveWire was founded on: Peer Support.

Thanks very much for spending the time to view and consider my Suppor Leader application!

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

Reasons:
I have applied before and on my previous application, which was only a few weeks ago, I believe I summarized my reasons very well there. Since then, I have committed myself to providing lengthier, more in-depth answers while still keeping my posts insightful.

I know I've said before that I wouldn't re-apply, but that was for reasons that I think I've now overcome. I guess at times I've missed being involved in the support aspect of the site, and when I did put some effort into a reply, I thought about the time when I used to be a SL.

I believe that I have the ability to cover all parts of people's situations and understand some of the things that are going on with them even if they aren't detailed about it. I can devote my entire willpower towards what I'm typing so that I almost feel I am the person. Although I am definitely not good for every type of help one might need, I feel I am very thorough and can provide the sort of thoughts that will help one deal with an issue in the long-term.

P.S. I linked to a topic (URL 5 below), and I would like to display all of my replies in it, not the topic itself (which was not started by me, haha).

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

Reasons:
I know that I only just had myself demoted due to reasons that most of you have probably already heard about, I guess my heart has decided to finally catch up with my head and realise that if I can't follow my own adivce, then who will?

I love to help people, and I think that being a support leader (again! *g*) would just give me more of an ability to help those people who sometimes might actually need it just those little bit more than those on the forums. The people like me, who might be too shy to post there, or the people who just want a listening ear to give them suggestions.

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.
