Answer 1

People say help! about a lot of things:

Charitable organizations, such as the Red Cross, who give help to those that need it, also need help in the form of volunteers and contributions of money so they can continue to help people.

There are any number of "self-help" programs or books out there, that for a fee, will tell you how to improve the way you feel about yourself, the way you look, the way you talk, help you make money, help you get out of debt, etc. While there are certainly some valid self-help programs, a lot of them  just "help" alleviate you of some of your hard earned money.

Suicide prevention hotlines, substance abuse hotlines, spousal abuse hotlines, poison control center hotlines are there to help people in real serious trouble.  

One of the best known "help" numbers known (in the U.S.) for police, fire, or medical emergency help is "911".

There is the concept of customer service numbers - a phone number that you call for any given company, that will "help" you, (if you can ever get past the menu selection, get past being put on hold) once you can reach a "live" person to talk to.  A lot of times, you get so frustrated punching phone numbers, different menu numbers, waiting on hold, that you wind up needing help for your anger & frustration and may forget why you were calling the customer "help" line to begin with.  (Hmmm, maybe some of them are designed that way!)  

And of course, you have "help" up in the tool bar on your computer, and a "help" function in most software programs you are running that are designed to help you maximize your experience on your computer.  And if you can't make sense of the instructions in those, you always have the option of calling their "help" line for live customer service (and you know where that will lead you!)

"help" in different languages:

Dutch - hulp

French - aide

German - hilfe

Italian - aiuto

Portugese - ajuda

Russian - помощь

Spanish - ayuda

And there is Yahoo answers where you can come to get help or advice on any subject imaginable. (Which is usually a lot more pleasant experience than calling any customer service "help" line.)
