A:
It usually depends on what your troubles were in? If you were into drugs etc., being a drug councilor would be a good bet, because you have experienced what you will be talking to others about? Any kind of career where they can help deter youths from what you have experienced, would be a great start? Great Luck!
Answered by Benny D

A:
Honestly, if you truly have a passion for helping others, a school counselor in a rural neighborhood is great place to start. Those teens have little to look forward to in their life and frequently do not have anyone to talk to. Another option to take into consideration is a therapist or adolescent psychologist. Again, focus mainly on stress and problems that many teens have today, ex: anorexia, bulimia, family problems, abuse, etc. And provide low cost services that low income families can afford, they can't afford 100 dollar per hour services. It is unreasonable. I wish you the best of look in your future professions.

I am about to be a Special Education teacher, doing my student teaching right now. I encounter a lot of troubled teens and I really feel like as a teacher I am making a difference. They even have special classes for kids with "emotional disturbances" (yes, that is the official term and I really don't like it. Perhaps you should look into that!

There are many ways to help troubled teens: Social work, camp counselor (camps that specialize in helping them), psychologist (professional or school), Job Corps (can ALWAYS use help), teen pregnancy/crisis centers, etc. You just have to decide in what way, and on what level you would like to reach out and help teens. Good luck. =)

Answered by im just bored..

A:
You can work in a teen shelter as a counselor. I would also suggest being a case manager. However you must at least have a BS degree in order to qualify for these types of career. Some companies require beyond a BS degree. It is a very stressful job and you must have the patience to deal with these troubled teens. They require lots of love and attention. Good Luck!!!!
