=== Question #1 Young Skeptics <small>()</small> ===<br />
<blockquote>Dear SGU,<br/> Hello I am Rob Manges. I am a young skeptic in ninth grade. I am new to skepticism and would really appreciate general advice or knowledge you could impart on me. My Dad is a practicing physician (MD not DO if your familiar with that little argument) so i am familiar with the scientific method and all that Jazz. As a younger person i find it really hard to be taken seriously by older people when I try to identify myself as a skeptic. Do you have any advice for all the young skeptics of the world?<br/> Sincerely,<br/><br/> Robert Manges<br/> USA<br/><br/> P.S. I love the show, it really has made me a true skeptic! (i doubt this will even be considered but you have my permission to read this on the show)<br/><br/></blockquote><br />
