We understand the benefits of mentoring when we hear the powerful stories of teens whose lives have been changed by a single, caring adult. All teenagers experience troubled times – some more serious than others. Even though they might not show it (or even know it), all they sometimes really need is someone to listen to them and guide them in the right direction.
Although mentoring teenagers isn’t always as hard as it seems but at the same time, not everyone is up for it and it takes serious dedication with the right morals, attitudes and experience.
To this effect, your darling e-learning social community – Passnownow is pleased to introduce our e-counsellors to you. These great personalities are people of impeccable character, well revere in the society, and trust me, you can count on them for advice on ANY, I mean ANY, issue concerning your life.
From next week, we will start publishing daily articles from these mentors. Trust me, it’s going to be a start of another truly rewarding experience on Passnownow.com. Make sure you look forward to it, and be kind to tell your friends to also come on. Should you have any question for our mentors, just type it in the comment box, and you can be sure to receive their response.
