I have to disagree. First of all, if one of our members felt that way, I think they'd rather discuss it here, among friends, than with some stranger on a phone. It's a pretty high treshhold to just up and call to one of those lines - posting a topic here I imagine would be the more natural thing to do.
Second, we're not just a roleplaying forum, GenD in fact doesn't even allow roleplaying. So in our case, there would be no such risk.
Of course I don't think people should post threads like these to draw attention, and it's always good if they can find offline help (say from a friend or parent) rather than having to post here. But I can understand if there's no other option and I think this too is one of the many purposes this community serves...
