Being a teenager is not always easy and for some, the emotions and hormones at that particular point in life can cause self-esteem and self-hatred issues, potentially leading to personal injury.

One national organization is trying to change that by bringing music into teens' lives as a support system and local music venue/production studio Architekt will be hosting a concert to benefit the non-profit movement To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA) on Saturday. Doors will open at Architekt, on Boonton Avenue in Butler, at 6:30 p.m. and tickets will cost $15, with all proceeds benefiting TWLOHA. According to TWLOHA's website, TWLOHA is "dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery."

Fifteen-year-old Madeline Zybrick, a Kinnelon resident and sophomore at Morris Catholic High School, has been helping to coordinate the concert at Architekt for the past two years. This year, performers will include This Side of the Story, Survay Says, Patent Pending, Giants at Large and Reverse Order.

Zybrick said she learned about TWLOHA after struggling personally with self-injury and suicidal thoughts. She had heard about the movement two years ago from a band member who had performed benefit concerts for the organization.

"It's not only to raise money, but also to raise awareness about how many people do struggle with this," Zybrick said.

At the core of the movement is the concept that despite what a person is feeling, there are people out there who care about and love them. Zybrick said the realization of this made a profound impact on her own life and she wanted to share the movement with others.

"I just realized how important it is for people to know that," she said.

Architekt Operations Manager Matt Simon said the Butler business is happy to host the concert for the second year.

"Just from the music side of things, all these bands are phenomenal," he said.

Last year, Simon said there were about 140 people in attendance ranging from age 6 to 60. Since Architekt does not hold a liquor license, Simon said the venue tries to host events that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The building can hold 120 people, but Simon said re-entry is not allowed after a person leaves and that turnover is particularly important for a benefit concert.

"The turnover is really important because it's that much more money that can go to the organization," he said.

Architekt has a strong relationship with the local school districts and decided to involve Kinnelon High School's digital art class as well. Students designed posters to advertise the concert and two finalists' posters were chosen to be displayed at Architekt and surrounding businesses. Eventually, Architekt will choose one poster as a "winner."
