About David
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I'm a guy and I have been through it all. I specialize in dating friends and dating with somebody with overprotective parents, mainly because of the experiences I have had with both. I can pretty much help you through anything because it is similar to what I am experiencing now.

Experience
My experience is mainly through trial and error. I have also taken a mediation class, at school, and we learned how to talk to people and guide them through tough situations.

Organizations
I am really involved in the AIDS program at my school, we go around to other schools and teach the kids about how to prevent themselves from contracting HIV/AIDS. It is a really rewarding program.

Publications
I write for my school newspaper, edited the middle school one for a year and the yearbook too.

Education/Credentials
I'm in High School and have gone through a few different leadership and mediation type classes.
