to 3FC's ~ did you know that we have a UK forum here? I'd bet you would love to have some chats with others from your own country and/or continent. Plus, we have many other threads and forums that you will likely find interesting and helpful, ie 20-somethings forum.
There was/is a teen's thread here as well: you could do a "SEARCH" for that one using the search function in the purple bar at the top of the page. You will find lots of wonderful people here who will gladly offer you support along the way. Take a good look around and jump right in wherever you feel comfortable ...
