一个专为青少年设计的全新互动网站  MyWorldMySay.com  正式上线啦！

通过有趣的问题、轻松的投票和温暖的反馈，这个网站帮助青少年分享真实想法、表达情绪，并与同龄人建立联系。 所有的参与都是完全匿名——没有压力，没有评判。问题涵盖校园生活、友情、家庭关系、社交媒体心情，甚至还有轻松搞笑的“Chaos”板块，让大家在严肃话题之外也能轻松一下。 

网站还提供原创歌曲和温暖的文字反馈，让青少年感受到情绪被理解和接纳。如果他们想要更多支持，还可以选择获得一些简单实用的建议，帮助更好地面对生活中的挑战。 

来自当地高中的学生， Serenity Foley, Cayleigh Coppola, Jason Tao, 和Fan Bu也直接参与了这个项目。

Serenity Foley 是 Seaforth 高中的一名高三学生，喜欢读书，动画艺术，和克服困难的英雄故事。她一直在帮助修改问题和选项的措辞，还参与了网站的一些视觉设计。她也为如何让网站变得更好提供了反馈。

Serenity 说：“我喜欢这个网站，因为它给青少年提供了一个表达情绪的方式，让我们在表达时的感觉更舒畅。它让我感到被理解，也不再那么孤单。我觉得 Chaos 板块可以让青少年在网站上笑得开心，大部分歌曲也和话题非常契合。”

Cayleigh Coppola 也是 Seaforth 高中的一名高三学生，喜欢历史和养她的马 Nimbus。她也一直在帮助修改问题的措辞，以及网站整体的设计。她说：“我之喜欢这个网站是因为它为青少年提供了一个安全的地方，让我们可以表达和理解自己的情绪。有时候我们很不愿意说出真实的想法，但这个网站是匿名的，你还能看到自己回答的实时反馈。所有的回答都用于改进网站的功能，所以网站一直在努力变得更好。”

Jason Tao 是 Chapel Hill 高中的一名高四学生，也是游泳队的队长，对计算机科学感兴趣。他说：“这个网站非常新颖，让人深思。匿名性是它最大的吸引力——大多数人不喜欢公开分享自己的感受。通过保持匿名，它能吸引更多人参与，也能不断改进网站。”

Fan Bu 是Chapel Hill High School 高三学生， 喜爱足球，Science Olympiad 成员。 他尽量引入更多不同的视角提出了新的想法、对他人提出的创意给予反馈，让更多人能在这个平台中找到共鸣。他说：“作为一名男生，我往往习惯把情绪和想法藏在心里，因为我害怕同龄人会觉得我软弱、不自信。而这个应用给了我一种安全感，让我可以在一个健康、安全的环境中真实地表达自己的情绪。不再压抑情绪，而是通过这个平台自我反思，让我感到更被理解，也更有信心。青少年会喜欢这个应用，因为他们很少有机会讨论这样的话题，也往往不真正了解自己的情绪或负面思维可能带来的伤害。在当今社会，心理健康是一个非常重要的话题，因为它可能受到很多方面的影响，比如网络霸凌和社交媒体。很多青少年认为自己不应该谈论心理健康这种‘敏感话题’，或者觉得自己没有可以倾诉的人。而这个媒体正好解决了这些问题，它为青少年提供了一个私密、安全的空间去表达真实的情感。同时，它也让青少年彼此之间产生连接，意识到自己并不孤单。

这个应用的初衷很简单：让每个青少年都能安全、轻松地表达自己，看到同龄人的想法，感受到“我并不孤单”。 点击即可体验，看看别人怎么想，也让自己的世界被看见。

此外，本地非营利组织 UCA Waves 即将在9月27日举办关于青少年心理健康的会议，重点关注最新的 TAAF 心理健康调查结果。我们也希望能尽早推出一个家长调查问卷，主题是“如何更好地帮助孩子的心理健康”，以补充 TAAF 调查中呈现的青少年声音。通过收集家长的想法和经验，我们希望为青少年和家庭提供更有针对性的支持。

Title: New Teen Interactive App Launches: A Safe Space for Every Voice and Emotion

A brand-new interactive app designed for teens, MyWorldMySay.com, has officially launched!

Through fun questions, easy polls, and warm feedback, this app helps teens share their real thoughts, express emotions, and find connection with others their age. Participation is completely anonymous—no pressure, no judgment.

The questions cover school life, friendships, family relationships, social media moods, and even a lighthearted “Chaos” section for some fun breaks between serious topics.

The app also features original songs and encouraging messages that help teens feel understood and validated. For those who want more support, there are optional tips and advice to help them navigate challenges in life.

Local high school students Serenity Foley, Cayleigh Coppola, Jason Tao, and Fan Bu have been directly involved in shaping the app:

Serenity Foley is a well-read rising junior at Seaforth High School. She likes animation arts and stories about heroes who overcome obstacles in their early lives. She has been helping with the wording of the questions and options as well as developing some of the visual aspects of the website. She also has been providing feedback on how to make this website even better. Serenity commented: “I like this website because it gives teens a way to express their emotions and feel more comfortable with them. It helps me feel more understood and less alone with my thoughts. I think the chaos stuff lets teens have fun with the website and puts a smile on their faces. Most of the songs match the topics.”

Cayleigh Coppola is also a rising junior at Seaforth High School. She enjoys studying history and she loves her horse Nimbus. She has been helping with the wording of the questions as well as the design of the website as a whole. She shared: “I like that this website is offering a safe place for every teen to express and understand their emotions. Sometimes it’s hard for us to say what we’re really thinking, but this website is designed in such a way where everything is anonymous, and you’re able to see real time feedback to your answers as well. All the responses are strictly used to improve the website’s effectiveness, so it’s constantly striving for the best version of itself.”

Jason Tao is a rising senior and captain of the swimming team at Chapel Hill High School. He is interested in computer science. He said: “The website is very thought-provoking and fresh. Anonymity is the main attraction to this website. Most people don’t really like sharing anything about themselves when it isn’t anonymous. By allowing their identity to be hidden, it will draw out more responses which can be used to improve the website.”

Fan Bu is a rising junior at Chapel Hill High School. He plays high level competitive soccer and is a member of Science Olympiad. He helped including other perspectives and trying to connect and include as many people as possible and provided the following comments: “As a male teenager, I tend to try to keep my emotions and thoughts to myself because I’m afraid that my peers may view me as weak and insecure. This app creates a sense of comfort, allowing me to fully express my emotions in a healthy and safe way. Instead of holding in my emotions, through this app, I’m able to reflect on myself, allowing me to feel more understood and confident.” For other teens, he feels: “The teens would like this app because they rarely discuss topics like this and don’t fully understand their emotions or the detrimental effects of negative thoughts. In the modern world, mental health is an important subject to talk about due to the
countless ways that it can be harmed, such as through cyberbullying and social media. Many teenagers believe that they shouldn’t talk about taboo topics such as mental health, or that they don’t have anyone to talk to. This app is the perfect solution to these problems, as it provides a private and safe environment for expressing one’s true emotions. The app also allows teenagers to connect with others, showing that they aren’t alone on this journey.

The goal is simple: to give every teen a safe and welcoming space to express themselves, see how others feel, and realize: I’m not alone. Click to explore, see what others are thinking, and let your own world be heard.

In addition, the local nonprofit UCA Waves will be hosting a conference on youth mental health, highlighting the findings from the recent TAAF mental health survey. To complement this (independently for now), we are launching a parent survey on “how to better support your child’s mental health,” so that parents’ perspectives can add to the picture painted by the TAAF youth results. By gathering family voices together, we hope to provide more targeted support for both teens and parents.
