Hey!
I live in Canada and I'm teen. I've been through a lot of stuff with my friends over the last few years and I always try to give my insight into their problems (sometimes even when they don't really want it lol).
I've realized that over time I have accumulated a lot of questions about moving on, so if you have a question about that, lay it on me!!
I don't think that ratings matter, and that you should choose someone to trust your question with, that will answer it with care, but show you what the world really is and wont sugar coat it.
I hope you guys find my advice helps, hope to talk soon!! :D

Okay this sounds like i'm coomplainging but everytime when I try to help someone out to the fullest, I end up getting a lousy 3 or 4, and I think people are being really inconsiderate, because I am trying to keep my average score for helping up, but anyways is anyone else having the same problem? To me It's not even worth answering peoples questins anymore cause I will end up getting an even lower score...so basically my question is this
Is anyone else having the same problem?
and please don't tell me oh you probably misread the question or misundestood it cause I just double checked all of the questions I answered and I have tried helping them. (link)

I totally get what you're talking about. I don't really have that problem, but I know what you're dealing with. I don't think that we should really judge columnists by ratings, yet a lot of people do. I would suggest like sugar coating stuff. But thats not right. People tend to rate higher if you complement them, or take a very long time explaining your answers. Don't correct people, at least try not to, because some people take offense. umm... try to relate to them. Say they just broke up with their boyfriend throw in a short story about when you or your freind went trhough the same thing. Make sure they knwo you arent judgeing them. And read through your questions as though you are the person and see if they are biased in anyway. Remember these people are turning to us because they don't know what else to do, usually by telling thr truth you hurt their feelings, so thats where the rating system lacks and people take out their anger on the people, but if they give you a really low mark you can report it as abuse.
You probably DIDNT misread the questions. You tried really hard to give them help. And if they don't want to take your advice then they dont have to, therefore they shouldnt respond. But they do anyway. Try and take their feedback to heart, and change what they say is wrong, and maybe ask people at the end of your response to give feedback so that you can help to become a better columnist in the future.
But if all that doesnt work, then whatever, its not your fault. And Personally, I'd go to you for advice if I knew who you are, because I can tell that you are a very caring person, who is trying very hard to help, but just isnt getting the response they are looking for. It's okay, to get threes and fours, and you arent any worse of a columnist than those who get higher scores.
Without knowing who you are, I cant say what you're doing wrong, but if you let me know i can read your column and see if I notice anything :S.
I hope I answered our question and I hope you know that marks arent everything, being a caring loving person is worth so much more. Good luck, Love ya,
