rainbowcherrie answered Thursday December 2 2004, 11:23 am: I want to give advice to people because I have gone through alot in my short life and I can help people who are going through the same things. I have alot of experience about cutting, family/friendship issues and especially things to do with teenager's love lives. It's not like I'm going to be changing the world with my advice but for the people I give my advice to, I might have helped them. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
superGiRL21 answered Thursday December 2 2004, 10:46 am: for me, it's knowing that the pain and experience i've gone through can somehow benefit another person. there is so much going on in my life as it is i can't even begin to imagine what goes on in other people's lives. if i can help just one person by sharing my experience with them, then that to me feels rewarding. also with all the crap going on in my life sometimes i remember looking to the internet and trying to find answers to questions ive been struggling with-when there's no one else in my immediate life who can help me, its reassuring to know that theres a whole community of people online and at least one of them has had similar experiences to mine. plus it also helps to get different people's ideas, views, and opinions on things. so in short-i enjoy helping other people and recieving help.

zapreth answered Thursday December 2 2004, 9:43 am: Mainly, because I hate knowing other people are in pain when I can ease it. Hide sight is 20/20 and I have LOTS of that. If I can tell smoeone something to ease thier current pain and prevent more, I feel it's my duty to say something. Even if it requires saying more about my self than I like. Plus, my brain truely is a junkdrawer. There are all kinds of info rattling about up there. [ zapreth's advice column | Ask zapreth A Question ]
Solaris answered Thursday December 2 2004, 1:28 am: Because I am full of wisdom and I wish to share it with all. Unlike the bastards who joke around on this site, I believe when people need help, then I am going to give it. [ Solaris's advice column | Ask Solaris A Question ]
QBillion answered Thursday December 2 2004, 12:24 am: I give advice because I feel it is right, because you can feel that you may have helped someones life out, and even the smallest answers can feel big sometimes. Some of us do it to pass time, some of us do it for enjoyment, some of us don't even do it at all, those kinds of people just use their advice columns to make fun of people, or they don't give helpful advice at all, but I would assume this could also go under both categories: They feel it is fun or they help the time pass. I enjoy it, and at the end of an answer, you know you did well if you feel you did well, if you are the people who give real advice. It is like voluntary work in a way, you're making the world a better place at no pay.
Good Luck - QBillion [ QBillion's advice column | Ask QBillion A Question ]

Sherry answered Wednesday December 1 2004, 11:59 pm: Because I'm bored, and theres nothing else to do online. But other than that, its good to know your helping people..because sometimes the people dont know what their talking about and if I didnt help them, they would be in deep crap =D!

sunshine1030 answered Wednesday December 1 2004, 11:47 pm: well for one thing, i'm majoring in psychology in college, and i want to become a counselor of some type when i'm older. as to why i want to do this? i guess i just love helping people, and the feeling that you get from seeing someone resolve their problem with your help is just amazing...i dunno it's just something you enjoy-hard to put into words...

S_C answered Wednesday December 1 2004, 11:38 pm: It's fun to help others, and to be appreciated for help you give. I mean think about how you would feel if you needed advice, and there was nobody there for you. Well we like to be there for you, or at least I do. I'm not crazy about stupid questions, or questions with obvious answers, but lately that's all we've been getting, so it's better than nothing. Well, it's 11:40pm here, I have homework, and I'm at school every monrning before 7am, I need me some sleep. Nighty night! [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
