About

Real Girls

A rotating crew of brilliant young women will be speaking up about what they would do if they were in your shoes—whether you're a teen, parent or teen advocate. These real girl guest editors will appear on the site each week offering their Rx for your disrespect dilemmas.

SERAR is 17-years-old and a self-described a girly girl. Her hobbies include, but are not limited to: reading, shopping, playing piano, going to see movies, and of course, writing. She aspires to work in the Hollywood film industry after school, and also wants to study art. She loves to paint, mainly abstract art, and enjoys going to modern art museums. She cannot live without her Starbucks coffee, and does not go anywhere without her cell phone in hand. She also wants to move to California for college, to be closer to her siblings and the beach. Currently Serar is the editor of the Respect Rx community on MySpace. She is a true believer in respect for girls!
