Hey You, Grown-ups Need Advice, Too
Hey You,
Let’s be honest—sometimes, *some* grown-ups can cause you a lot of unnecessary grief. I know—I’ve been on the receiving end of that a few times myself. But here’s the thing: most grown-ups are doing their best and mean well. Let’s face it, some grown-ups need help…especially when it comes to understanding and connecting with young humans like yourselves.
I am going to help them.
You’re welcome in advance.
I’ve created a new website to help the grown-ups in your life overcome their natural tendencies to behave clumsily around teens and become better parents, teachers, coaches, and…you know, people in general. Have a few adults in mind? Send them here: http://grownups.heyjosh.com.
I’ve made it really easy for you: Just copy and paste the nifty little email template below, personalize it a bit, and send it off to all the grown-ups in your life you think could learn a thing or two from yours truly, and I’ll take care of the rest.
CONTEST: copy (cc:) josh@heyjosh.com on your email and I’ll pick three winners at random and mail you some rad free stuff.
Thanks!

Dear [THEIR NAME GOES HERE],
You are formally invited to check out this new website for “grown-ups” from teen communication expert Josh Shipp. He’s only 28, but he’s been talking to and helping out teens and young people for more than a decade. So, he’s practically a genius. Anyway, now he’s helping adults (like you) relate to teens (like me) better. There will probably be a pop quiz, so I kindly suggest you get started at your earliest convenience:
Enjoy!

Hey Josh! I think I won your contest for the free Defining Twilight book! THe thing that changed was near the bottom left corner, the picture is of a man when it was originally of a girl! It’s either that, or your labtop wasn’t on the couch before, or the picture in the background of Amy is replaced with a Trophy. Thanks a lot!
Oh whoops, sorry Josh. I thought you meant something that changed from your previous video’s, not the one that changed during the video! XD. However, it still is that picture in the bottom left corner I was talking about. Before it was a photo of a white man that looked like he was screaming, maybe a statue? Then it changed into a photo with a green background and had 2 men in suits! Once again, thanks a lot!
website for parents. that’s different. but sometimes “grown ups” need more help than we do!
the book on your couch that is on the left
