Being a V-W Peer Mentor - Case study 7

Added: 20 September 2006

It is difficult having to tell someone your age, or older than you, that they have to stop doing something, eg. swearing. I've found that with time i've got more used to doing this and I don't really have a problem with it any more... I think having to tell people to stick to the AUP [ie V-W Acceptable Use Policy] has given me more confidence online.

Being a V-W Peer Mentor - Case study 6

Added: 19 July 2006

Doing this peer mentor training i have gained alot. In myself i have built on the idea i can do something the first time and not mess it up or second judge myself. I have also learned to look at things different a little better than i could before... By doing this and other things i would like to become a social worker/youth worker so its helped me make up my mind...

Added: 22 June 2006

I have gained leadership skills, experience in responsibility and doing the right thing to help people out... I would like to take Online Moderation as a part-time job somewhere for a job on a game perhaps; I find it great to help!
