Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Well if you don't have a column already on this website, start one. You can always use this website as your project (as long as it's your own personal account) To start, just register and then look for questions you know how to answer. Don't copy anyone else's answer or answer questions that you have nothing to add to. Don't repeat what some other columnists say and just throw in a few things, nobody wants answers like that. If you have something original to add to a question, answer it. Eventually this site will help you learn and grow as a person, and you will be helping others in the process.
Start of slow, answer two or three questions a day, only the one's that you know the answer to, or type what you think you would do in that type of situation. Just go for it. Don't be rude, sarcastic, idiotic, and DO NOT threaten anyone. First, it's just bad manners and second it WILL get you kicked off the website and it makes for a bad columnist. Don't tell people what they want to hear if it's not the truth. Be honest but tactful. Respect their feelings. If a girl gets back with her ex after he sleeps with 3 of her different friends and this is the third time he's cheated on her that she knows of, don't tell her she's stupid and idiotic and is a complete moron. Be nice about it. Tell her she's head over heels for the wrong guy. That it's great to give someone a second chance, but that the old saying "hurt me once, shame on you, hurt me twice, shame on me" is about a million percent true!! And that he doesn't deserve someone who's willing to forgive that easily. He needs to know what it's like to respect a woman before sleeping with her friends.
See how simple that was. Honest, yet polite.
Start of slow and work your way up. Maybe one day you'll even make it to moderating a website for advice, or, doing what Spacefem did... Take charge and create your own!
