Getting Advice through Bits and Bytes
Barack, Lauren
School Library Journal, v51 n2 p28 Feb 2005
This article briefly describes how 20 students at Libertyville High School in Lake County, IL, are billing the new peer-counseling program they launched online in January. Students are able to e-mail questions about anything that's troubling them without revealing their identities, and their counterparts get back to them just as anonymously. The student mediators read through the e-mail messages and query adult counselors only if they don't know how to handle a specific question. But the actual correspondence is always student-to-student, always confidential--and no one's name is ever shared.
