Getting to know: Heath, the Chica Girl advice columnist Hi! I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Heath, and I will be an advice columnist for Chica Girl Magazine. I contacted this magazine about doing the column because I love people and my primary mission in life is to help people in every way I can. I'm not a woman and I’m not even Latino. However, that doesn't change the fact that I care about everybody. I've been wanting to do an advice column for quite some time. I know there are many others floating around in magazines and in newspapers, but I really haven't found too many that truly do some good. I see a lot of narrow-minded advice given all over the place. There's no such thing as a concrete answer. There's always something more that cannot be seen on the surface. Of course I have opinions, which may or may not be different than another's. Some of you may not even agree with them, and that's perfectly fine. The biggest problem I see in a lot of advice columns is that there seems to be an agenda hidden in all the content. I can almost predict what will be said. People will flip through the magazine to the column just to read what they are expecting to read every time. Yes, it might attract a lot of readers, but it's not genuine. I want to contribute to something genuine. Chica Girl Magazine is genuine, so why not add to it? I know what pain is. I know what it's like to juggle issues and struggle through life. As a person who has gone through much depression and a loss of both his parents by the age of 16, I know pain. I say that not to direct any sympathy my way. I say this to show that I can relate to people. Obviously, I haven't gone through everything, but I understand the effect that different life issues have on people and the emotions behind it. I've worked with many people on various types of life issues. I’ve covered everything from relationships and self-esteem, all the way to depression, abuse and addiction. I'm here at Chica Girl Magazine to work with you on any issue. This is how the advice column will work: Questions/issues will be e-mailed to Chica Girl Magazine at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it by you, the reader. These entries will then be presented in the next issue of Chica Girl Magazine, along with my responses to them. These questions can concern any life issue; I'm more than happy to help. I hope this column will benefit many of our readers and help you deal with life in a healthier manner. I look forward to hearing from you all. |
