Expertise

I am a constructive, honest expert on adolescents. If you would like a trustworthy answer, then feel free to ask me; I will tell it like it is without the added frills. If you would like to receive an expedite, knowledgeable, polite response to your questions, please ask me! I try my best to reply to questions in less than 2 hours (this is in effect from 4PM to 10PM, Monday's through Friday's, and from 11AM to 10PM on Saturday's and Sunday's - I'm a full-time student.) I can answer mostly all questions that deal with adolescents. I can answer questions about homework, study tips, teacher issues, love, crushes, friendship, bullying, peer pressure, sports, self-esteem issues, fitting in, peer pressure, popularity, emotional issues, music, movies, crush issues, etc. I founded Velociteen in 2006 (http://www.velociteen.com), a website made especially by teens, for teens. I have gained a lot of experience from creating and managing that organization. I recently started a childcare referral business that mainly serves Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Illinois. Wildflower Babysitting (http://www.flowersitters.com) was started in July of 2009 and I now oversee around 500 sitters, nannies and daycare providers.

Experience in the area

I am a teenager, just like the teens asking the questions. It is better to have a person who is going through the same situations and facing the same experiences as you, as opposed to an adult. Adult's also have a different perspective than teens; would you rather ask a friend for advice, or a parent?

Education/Credentials

I am a good student with a 4.0 GPA. I strive to get good grades in all of my classes and I am currently taking advanced placement classes.

Hi Maddie,    My best advice would be to show an interest in what he's been doing (or doing), or pretend to be interested. Go with the flow and expand on anything that pops into your head! :D    Start
