Has
one of your friends ever asked you for advice? Were you able to give them a
solution to their problem or did you need help from others?
Did
you go to the Internet? Yes,
there are sites on the Internet that try to help teenagers with their
problems!
1. Take a look at the sites below and read letters that interest you.
It's My Life - Advice for Teens
Ask Jeeves for Kids - Advice
Seasons Club - answers online
Advice about lies
Teenadviceonline
2. Discuss with a partner:
What surprised you the most in the letter/s you’ve
chosen?
Would you give the same advice as was given on
these sites? Why? Why not?
3. Follow up activity:
Choose one of the letters on the Internet, copy it into WORD and make
up your own letter of advice in the WORD document. Write your own answer to the
letter.
4. Next, look at this checklist
