Interviewer:
…So how do you like this work?
Miss Sweetie:
Oh very much. I feel like I’m living my teenage years again! [laugh] But really, it’s great that I can help our dear readers in this way.
Interviewer:
Do you find it difficult to give advice?
Miss Sweetie:
Well, yes… I take time to think of the best possible advice that I can give. I think it’s most important that we put ourselves in other people’s shoes.
Interviewer:
So it’s about being able to empathise
Miss Sweetie:
Exactly. But even so, we also need to be very careful about how to put the advice into words. We need to be sensitive... It’s not only about giving the best solution, it’s also about helping the person get over the negative feelings. For example, I often use ‘It might be a good idea to…’ rather than ‘You ought to…’. Or perhaps ‘I think you should…’ for me sounds much better than ‘You must…’.

The first thing, you should discuss with your parents what you think about this school and yours plans for the future. Your parents can help you understand what choices are available to your, and help you to understand what skills you need, to get where you want to be.
The secondly, you can also talk things over with your teacher, the form dean, and the school careers counsellor. I think, leaving school doesn’t necessarily mean you chance of an education is over – sometimes people choose to return to high school as an adult, to get the credits they need.
