1a)List two reasons why teens are reluctant to call helplines despite the promise of anonymity and professional help.

They do not trust stranger and they would rather trust their freinds and teacher than strangers.
They also feel weird talking to someone they do not know. They prefer to talk to their friends as it is easier to communicate.Oit of 46 students surveyed, 44 of them choose to talk to their teacher and friends and only 2 choose to call the helplines. If helplines want to receive more calls they must know what to expect.
