    What do I do if nothing ever happens where I live? Plus I'm still under 18 so I can't just leave the house whenever I feel like it. What do I do?
    Community Answer
    Try helping people around your neighborhood or your friends. You can even help your parents or siblings around the house. You don't have to do big, bold acts to be a superhero. Focus on small acts of kindness. Do the dishes without being asked. Help your little brother/sister with their homework.

  • Question
    How can I be a hero to my family?
    Community Answer
    Start showing grace and love towards your family. Ask them if they need help, and spend time with them. Help younger siblings with their homework, or offer to drive them to their activities (if you can drive). Help your mom or dad with chores (don't wait to be asked, just help). Being a hero is about showing mercy and love and protecting others.

    People get recognized as heroes after they contribute to the community during major events such as bush fires, disasters, accidents, and other issues. People become heroes when they help people because they want to; they never become heroes for fame.
  • Question
    Can I be a hero without getting in trouble with the cops or getting my friends and family hurt?
    Community Answer
    Of course. Being a hero means helping people and doing the right thing, which should not get you in any kind of trouble (unless you choose to intervene in a dangerous situation where you could get hurt - but that should not generally pose any threat to your friends or family).

  • Question
    I want to help people but I have trouble knowing how to approach them. What can I do?
    Community Answer
    When you approach them don't use "lofty words" and don't try to impress them with great advice. Forget about everything except for helping them. The person will be able to see that you are kind spirited, and (in most cases), they will understand you are trying to help. If they don't understand, it is because they don't want to.

    Yes! You are a hero because you are willing and able to act when somebody needs help. You do it not for recognition, but simply because you want to do what is right. You want to help others. That makes you a hero. Keep it up. This world needs people like you.

  • Question
    What can I do to my country if I want to be a hero?
    Community Answer
    You can try offering your services to local volunteer organizations. It might seem like a small contribution, but large changes are made up of small contributions. I would recommend finding a soup kitchen or homeless shelter where you can volunteer. Your work there would be considered heroic by many people.

  • Question
    How can I be a hero like Spider-Man, Daredevil, or Luke Cage?
    Community Answer
    It's impossible to be a superhero or have powers like them, but all of those heroes help people who are weaker or less fortunate than them. Go out of your way to be nice to people (especially older people and young children), and consider signing up for some volunteer work, like at a soup kitchen or food bank.

    Start running. After a long time of training to become faster, you might match Usain Bolt but not the Flash. Look into EmDrive, and how to become an astronaut to go as fast as the Flash.

    What is the lesson learned from being a hero?
    Jayant Sadhoe
    Community Answer
    That every life, no matter how small or big, matters, whether it is a homeless person to whom you just gave food, a 2-year-old you helped find his mom in a busy mall. Everything that is alive has the ability to think and smile. Even if you won't get appreciated for all the deeds you did, karma (yes it does exist) always finds its way.
