Agony Aunt

[Maatt.]

Just an idea for habbox.

Agony aunt is a secret habbox user on the forum who is completely secure and only you and agony can see. Agony is there to help you when your in need of advice, feeling glum, or just to chat for help in basic life.

Now you might be saying- why? The reason I think we need an agony aunt is because sometimes teenagers need some advice from people they can talk to their own age and may have went through the same experiences as you.

You may think that the Heath and Advice forums would be good for this, but sometimes it is hard for us to post things infront of the public when you only want one person to know who is able to keep it confidential.

Please do post your thoughts below,
I believe this is a good idea as it is something new, something helpful when in a crisis, and just some fun.

Thanks

I really like it tbh!

[Jazz]

I like this idea a lot

[orientalframe?]

It seems like a good idea to me.

Didn't this used to exist before at some point?

Also I vote there be Agony Aunt and Agony Uncle (For female and male issues)

I don't think there is any point in it.

It would just be abused, constantly.

AndI don't think forum users should be advertised as 'trusted to keep secrets'

I had this idea when I first joined the News and Articles deparment... I can't remember what happened, but it didn't get off!

I'd love to do it... I'm the school Agony Aunt for our magazine, so I kinda have some experience.

The only problem I can see is that it's a little bit like the blind leading the blind, espeically if someone young ended up advising about something that they haven't gone through? It could be a problem. But I'd LOVE to do it, I think it's a good idea.

It would be easy for the aunt/uncle to ignore the person who is using it incorrectly. Its not hard

I like the idea. Although can i suggest having like different sections because some members are absolutely clueless on some things. For example, some would be good with helping people dealing with family/friend issues, but awful at relationships (trust me ive seen this many times), whilst someone may be the complete opposite.

"I am being bullied at school" - how would you know if the user is just abusing it?

I don't think trusting some random person on the internet to not tell others about you is a good idea.
