Hi, my name is Robyn, and I'm 19 years old. I just finished high school (we have five years of it in Ontario) and I'll be working for a year to earn money for art school next fall. Yes, that's right, I'm artsy-fartsy. I love to create beautiful pictures, and I hope to make a living that way in the future.

I went to Love & Learn for some advice on a very complicated matter, and I really liked what I saw. The format is great... the way you get different perspectives from several people. I'd like to be on the panel, if you'll let me. I know I'm younger than the other panelists, but that could be a good thing in a way. People will get the teenager's point-of-view.

I'm pretty open-minded about relationships and sexuality (you kind of have to be when you're going into art), but I know the difference between right and wrong. I see that the panelist "Hope" is Christian, and incorporates that into some of her advice. I am Pagan, as I find many people on the Net are, and though I may make some brief references to Pagan topics, such as nature or feminine power, I will never try to push my belief system on other people. I try to respect everyone's right to believe what they feel is right for them.

Another thing I believe is that there's someone out there for everyone. No one is hopeless, in other words. I don't believe in love at first sight, though. Love is a feeling that requires time to get to know a person. Love at first sight, no. Lust at first sight, that's a different story.
