An 18-year-old teenager from northeast China's Changchun recently quit school and opened a consulting hotline for other teenagers obsessed with sexual problems.

Li Tong, an alternative kid in most people's eyes, learnt about the world by working as a bar waiter.

   
There he met many young people who have problems related to sex but have no one to talk to, and wanted to help.
   
His consulting work mainly involves talking about sexual problems with people, and offering advice.
   
Some adults disagree with the hotline, as Li himself doesn't have any experience, his advice may mislead people.
   
But some experts have encouraged his action, saying it highlights the lack of sex education in China.
