so i have decided to take a break from volunteering at the runaway hotline. i do feel like i am doing a lot of good when i get there but i have started being stressed about the kinds of calls that i have to take. basically i am not doing as good a job as i would like to especially with what is at stake. i am burnt out. this all cumulated on monday night. one of the calls that i got seemed like a typical call where a teen was having a rough time at home. he was trying to figure out what he should do. i asked a bunch of questions....and was getting answers to them. then after about 10 minutes of talking all of a sudden he yells into the phone "GOODBYE SLUT" and hangs up on me. i was hurt and disappointed to realize that i had talked to him for 10 minutes and done my best to help him only to find out that it was a prank. so basically i need a break from the call center.
