Well hi there.
It's always so nice to have young people join our forum. Not that it's nice that you have to deal with shunts, etc, but that you found us. We are a nice bunch of people and I'm sure others more knowing that I am will come along and direct you to the proper forum.
You are a very brave young person and I hope you have good things coming your way in life.
You certainly deserve this.
Just know that I send you a cyber hug
You take care
