So you're a teen -
what can you find here?

Question markHow do you help a teen?

LIFE SKILLS IS THE ANSWER

You can get your professional help For Free, in many ways.

Since I am a Professional and I am going to give you everything and more that would take you months with an in-person counselor and have to pay for, I need you to help me make it.

I care about "YOU" and that is why I am here. I cannot stay here without an income though. So I need you to help me keep this site up and running for you.

HOW YOU CAN HELP ME IN RETURN FOR MINE
  1. Tell all your friends about this site so they will write
  2. Write Teen Cosmopolitan (online) about this site and ask them to give this site advertising
  3. Write an email to NBC Health Minute about this site and to give this site exposure on their morning show

Now all of this will take you 10 minutes tops and I will be giving you over an hour for each email I write you and a wealth of information and help that you will really like and use. I will definitely give you the solutions to your problems. So that is a real fair exchange. I will give my word that I will give you the best help you can get anywhere. Give me your word you will help me and this site stay up by doing your part.
- Thank you, Mary-Anne.

You can find out how important it is that I stay here for teens. Go to the Testimonials page and see what other teens have to say. I believe the type of advice, counseling and help I give is way beyond what you get at any other teen site. You decide reading the testimonials. You can also read the example letters and the forum to see how much you get for your question.

I believe that I can teach you how to solve your problems and get the results you need and want so that you can get your life in control. Just because you are a teen does not mean you can not have the knowledge that it takes to get the relationship you want, or learn how to talk to your parents and get what you want. I think you can find out who you are, get over your fears such as shyness, no friends, or being afraid to ask someone out. I can help you overcome anything that you as a teen have to deal with. Well, I have proved that I can. Hundreds of teens all over the world are doing better and getting their lives to work the way they want because of what I taught them.

I call it LIFE SKILLS. I can take any problem you have and teach you how to solve it. From the skills I teach you, you can then use that knowledge and use it with other problems that come up. This is what these testimonials show. You will not only get the solutions to the problem you write me about but also how to use the information for other problems.

You can write about anything that you are trying to deal with and we will work through it. I am here for you. I believe LIFE SKILLS can give you the knowledge that you are not being taught anywhere else. Let me teach you just what you want to learn and you decide how much that is.

Take control over your life and make your life work for you.

How do you think all these teens you wish you were like, or had what they had, got to be like they are? Well, I know I was a teen once and I also have the schooling and expertise now to know what it takes to be a super teen I just can't be one anymore. I can make you a super teen though. Why not let me teach you what it takes to make these years the best years instead of the confusing years. Take hold of your life, make it work for you, be all you want to be and find out there are answers without having to make mistakes. Learn from someone who knows instead of from those who are going through the same thing as you are.

I want to be here for everyone. I love what I do and I am good at it. I know I can help you and I want to help you so that you can be as happy and as fulfilled as you can be as a teen and young adult. So let's work together and we will both have a great life you living each and every day like you want to and me doing the kind of work I am good at and love to do, helping teens.

Information iconOk, so how can I get help?
For help by Email:

I will always be there for you and I will help you until you feel you have all you want and are happy with your results. But it won't take long, that I promise, unless you just want to keep corresponding.

Go to the Left-to-right go arrowDear Mary-Anne page and write me!

For help by Telephone:
  1. IF you have the means through a phone card and want to talk right away about something you can always call me. I want to leave that option open to you. Or if you feel you have an emergency crisis go to your local Emergency Room immediately.
  2. Otherwise if you use your family phone you must have parental permission and then I will be more than happy to take your call.
  3. Write me an email and we will set up a time to talk. I talk to teens all over the world so we have to set up a time because of all of the time zones. So just write a email saying you want to talk and what time zone you are on and we will set it up. The only thing you pay for is the phone call itself. Of course we can’t talk forever and I can solve your problem in one phone call so we don’t have to worry about more than one call for one problem.
  4. Only use the phone if you really need the connection otherwise try to write me email as I don’t want you to spend money that you don’t need to on the phone. But if you need to talk on the phone use it either by phone card or with parental permission.

Availability For Immediate Phone Calls:

Available Now:
Call (623) 556-2950 If you are unable to reach me at this number call my cell phone (602) 690-8734. I am available at one of these numbers unless otherwise specified.

For help by Voice Chat (PC-to-PC):

If you would rather because it avoids the cost of telephone call, we can do Voice Chat. I am set up for that.
If you would like help by Voice Chat Session:

  1. Write me an email and we will set up a day and time that is convenient for both of us to talk. I talk to teens all over the world so we have to set this up ahead of time through emails to get the time zones right. So write me an email with where you live, your time zone and try to know the difference in your time and mine. I am on Mountain Time USA. Give me several options and I will write you back when I can talk. We will then set up a PC to PC session.
  2. Since I do this for free we can only do one session because of the time but at least one session with me is all it will take. You will get the solutions you need to your problem on our one talk.
