Anyone can be a Social Soldier! Find out more here!~ (OLD THREAD)
Welcome to the official forum thread for the Social Soldiers! Im glad youre here; youre amazing, and Im glad youre part of the community.
Introduction
The Social Soldiers project was created with the intent on eliminating the stigma that comes along with mental illness on social media, guiding those who are depressed/having a hard time/need someone to talk to right here to 7CupsOfTea. As Laura explained in her lovely thread right here, we need to be here for people who may feel as though they have no other place to turn.
What are Social Soldiers?
Social Soldiers are people that use 7Cups-designated social media to guide people in the right direction, hopefully leading them to the site where they can talk to someone who truly cares. They use the handles Twitter, Reddit and/or Tumblr, and check the tags for depression, or self harm, or anything along those lines.
Who can be a Social Soldier?
Anyone! Thats the beauty of this project; literally anyone can get involved with it.
What isnt a Social Soldier?
Sharing your own personal social media with other members/listeners.
Someone that shares their personal social media in this thread.
Just to debunk a question that may be asked, you can totally share your referral link on your personal social media handles, however we do ask that you dont share your personal social media handle here. If you have a big following on Twitter, and youd rather use your personal account to spread the word, thats totally okay, just do not share with other members/listeners your personal account. If you have any questions on this, feel free to PM me.

Smoking kills. It destroys families and has a negative impact on all those you surround yourself with. Besides, its a well known fact that passive smokers suffer the most.
@fruityWaves52
Weed smoking is fine
I'm against cigarettes, cheap sticks. .
College is a strugle to must college students, if your having difficultiesnwith your courses talk to your teachers, friends whoever; dont keep what your feeling in, its not good its not healthy it will stress you out and cause depression.
Love this great idea!
Try to help others, even if it doesnt help you, do your best to make those around you the best they can be

You want to help? If you really want to help, make yourself helpful, leave 7cups, see the life among people more closely, enjoy alone, that's how you can help people
I'm navigating my way through my own problems by helping other people.
Although I'm sometimes struggling with finding the right words for the various problems members want to talk about, I think I've already helped a few people. I'm trying to work on myself while listening to others, I take everybody seriously and try to focus on the member. And it really feels good to hear a thank you in the end :) I'm glad I signed up here
