The Canadian nationally syndicated newspaper column entitled "Youth Clinic" during a four-year period received over 4,000 letters from young people. This article highlights the prominent themes of these letters and points out the recurrent concerns of those youth who are predisposed to writing. The most common themes have to do with the adolescents' sense of isolation from peers and adults. The difficulties in adequately responding to genuine but anonymous letters, the problems inherent in only publishing a small proportion of the letters received, and the potential uses of such a column, are discussed.
加拿大全国联合发行的报纸专栏“青年诊所”在四年时间里收到了来自年轻人的4000多封信。本文突出了这些信件中的突出主题，并指出了那些倾向于写信的年轻人反复出现的担忧。最常见的主题与青少年与同龄人和成年人的疏离感有关。讨论了充分回复真实但匿名信件的困难、只发表所收到信件的一小部分所固有的问题以及这样一个专栏的潜在用途。
