Sorry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would be happy to be interviewed by you I was 13 in 1970!. But I am from the UK not US !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i was born in 1962 so i was a teenager in 1975 so whats your question!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can't help you, as I was born in 1980, but I wanted to tell you that questions 1-4 gots to go!.!. nobody except a complete moron would give that information to someone they've only met over the internet

the other questions are alright!.!. but you should just eliminate 1-4 from your interview

Your teacher should not require you to list names in your project!.!. You can give your interviewees "pseudonyms" if you like, based on their Gender!.!.



instead just ask for gender, YEAR of birth, and MAYBE a generalized description of where they lived (Deep south, midwest, northwest, west, etc etc)Www@QuestionHome@Com
