school's new advice columnist?
I'd like to be an advice columnist at my high school, even though this will be my first year i have been advice columnist before and i got good review before, but who do i need to talk to to start a Secretive advice column? and how do i convince them to let me be an advice columnist? and also, what should i bring (kinda like props) to show (whoever i am showing) that i get good review from answering question previously...
please help. i rate 5 even if you only help a little but no making fun or anything like that, then i report.

if you have a school newspaper then go to the person in charge of all of it. then ask that person if you could have your own column, specifically an advice column. when they ask why just say why. like that you want to help people and give them solutions to their problems. also maybe instead of turning to drugs and such, they would go to you. and if people are to shy to ask you about something, then they could look through the advice column and maybe their problem was answered. for what you could bring to show, maybe what people wrote back, or some of your best answers. not ones that you think are the best. but ones that have really good feedback. if they are on your computer print them out. if they were on paper then just bring the paper. i hope i helped! good luck!

If your school has a school newspaper, there would be the best place to start. Talk to the editor of the newspaper or the advisor (usually a teacher or other faculty member) and ask them about writing an advice column for the paper.
Give them solid reasons why your advice column would be good for the newspaper. Examples such as good for student life (since it helps them deal with common issues) or even just common interest (people love to read an advice column and wonder about the person who writes it as well as the person who wrote in for advice).
Bring the top 5 examples of your best advice-the ones that are clearly written, answer the question fully, and are tactful and caring. Good examples of feedback that you've received from advice given will help too. Try not to use the ones that just say thanks. The ones that say "Thanks. You give great advice and really helped." are best.
Ask if they will consider your advice column on a trial basis with the editor or advisor having approval of what's written. If they don't agree, thank them for their time and ask if they will consider discussing it again at a later time.
Before you meet with the editor or advisor, sit down and write out what you might say. Think of possible objections they may have and try to come up with possible solutions. This will allow you to collect your thoughts so you can give the most well-thought-out convincing discussion.
Good luck. I wish you the best.

Talk to a teacher or staff member who runs your newspaper or website or whatever and ask if they would be willing to let you have an advice coloumn. Tell them you could be a large help to the students in your school and that you could relate to them more than an adult would, maybe. As for props..I have no clue. Sorry!

Hehe, giggle. For someone willing to help other people with their problems so much you think you'd be able to find a solution for yourself.

Talk to the editor of the newspaper or the teachers who run it. Do you have copies of your old advice column? Then make sure you bring those. Try to round up some teachers who can reccomend you to the newspaper. Be serious, and explain to them why you want to be an advice columnist. You could say you just love helping people. Then maybe if they approve, you could set up a box where anoynymus persons can drop in a note/ question to you. Good luck!
