Question: Teenagers, I need  your help again! (Part two)? Hello all and thanks so much for your input on my first question about my column. Now, for those that don't know, I am trying to start a newspaper or magazine column in which teenagers can write in and ask me things they either can't or won't ask any other adult. I'm a Mom and my daughter's friends always asked me for advice whenever they couldn't talk to their parents about it. What I need to know is; should I name the column "Ask Mom" or "Ask Tina"? Remember that I need to get the idea across that I am an adult and a Mom too so which name would you feel better about? Thank you all for your help. =)

Answer: I'm not a teenager anymore (darn it!), but...\n\nHow about "Ask Tina Anything" -- this would give them the idea that you are open to answer any question without emphasising the idea that you are "Mom." \n\nIf they wanted to ask a Mom, they would ask their own. It may be comforting for them to know that you have kids, and ARE a mom, but teens won't want you to be "Mom" first when they ask a question.\n\nGreat idea, and I wish you well!
