What saved your life when you were a teen?

[Birds]

For me, personally, it was roleplaying.

and e-dating, almost forgot that part.

God. Guardian Angels. No way I could have survived my own stupidity without some form of divine intervention. That or blind luck.

Ha, pretty much this, and a bit of sports in-between

Gaming, MSN, hot girls on webcam on MSN, partying with my clasmates, sleep.

Indoctrination that told me I'd end up in a worse situation if I self disappeared, being ingrained against my will into my skull.

Having functional organs? That did a pretty good job of keeping me alive.

Me? Teen? I was never a teen.

I was one of the "cool kids" as a teen so I didn't get bullied nor had issues with anyone. And I grew up with older friends so I matured quickly to get a head start in life.

i'm not gonna lie video games especially ps2 and gamecube games kept me indoors and away from ♥♥♥♥ like drugs and parties in the future years. Developing the habit earlier made me skip alot of that ♥♥♥♥ in HS.

My adolescent ages were okay so i didn't feel need for a rescuer

I guess it would be the time I switched factions in high school. Like, I used to roll with the goths because we listened to the same music, although I didn't follow the goth lifestyle all that much (too depressing and boring :P) and we had a falling out because I refused to be a cutter or develop a drug habit just to fit in. So midway through I started hanging with the blacks...which I don't know why, but they were very accepting despite me being a complete outsider to their style, and we kicked it off good until we all graduated (most of them either joined the military or moved to another state). Looking back now, my old crew are pretty much dead from OD's, zombified druggies or complete losers working ♥♥♥♥ jobs for life so that was a huge blessing in disguise.

Shockingly I can relate.

[it's love]

idk I never really needed saving from anything

[Birds]

to clarify I meant my question in the spirit of a metaphorical hyperbole.

Jacking off every day at noon in the school bathrooms might have been what saved you from exploring suicidal ideations.

A supportive family might have rendered the very idea of being in danger ridiculous, despite how close you really came. So to speak.

Personally, having a social outlet whom more or less accepted me for how I presented myself was life-changing.

Meeting someone who saw more than that is what ultimately kept me away from questioning that life too much. And what helped me support other people who had similar questions.
