I was born and raised in Los Angeles and attended Marlborough
High School. I am 22 years old and graduated magna cum laude
from Emory University with a degree in Mandarin. I currently live in
Los Angeles, running my own Internet Company and speaking
about "You're Grounded!" to help Teenagers and Parents overcome the
tumultuous years.
You're Grounded!
As a senior in High School, I conducted hundreds of
interviews to write "You're Grounded!" as a practical, succinct and
realistic guide for both parents and teenagers to read
simultaneously. The book not only gives parents and teens
strategies to develop their relationship, but also helps them with
their individual everyday lives such as cliques, bullying, managing the
household and extracurricular activities that are safe.
RRules.com
The RRules Wiki: I created the site rrules.com to build a
community of parents and teenagers to begin to talk to each
other. At RRules.com, we believe that the RRules Wiki gives
the modern adult consumer and this generation of net-teens what they
want- access, control and sharing abilities. A wiki is a web
application that allows anyone to add content, as on an Internet forum
or blog, but allows logged in users to edit the content once it is up.
Our wiki is an editable parenting guide and teen encyclopedia, or
handbook that contains information and advice on anything having to do
with teens or parenting. Users can add or edit articles on
whatever topic they like - SAT's, teen TV shows, or even how to
pack school lunches. These pages can be discussed further and
we have a voting plug-in that allows users to vote on issues on a
page! In this way, parents and teens can show their opinions
by voting on issues as well as writing about them.
RRules.com Mission and Vanessa Van Petten Business Philosophy:
Our Company's mission is to improve parent and teen relationships and
their individual lifestyles. We strive to do this by
providing our users with strategies, tools and advice to promote
healthy attitudes, forms of entertainment and behaviors. We
use new technology and revolutionary methods to break down the
traditional
barriers between teens and adults by engaging both parties
to find mutually satisfying parenting and life strategies. We do this
through our company's five dimensions and teaching tools--"You're
Grounded!" the book, the RRulesTM Wiki, the RRules Seminar Series, the
RRules products and RRules Life Trainer Programs.
All aspects of our company are designed to be used by parents,
teenagers, tweenagers, teachers, counselors and anyone who is in
contact with youth. We are user-controlled, user-centric and
user-catered. We strive to reach teenagers on their level by
connecting to them with technology, media and language that they use
and that appeals to them. In this way, RRules.com is in the
forefront of this generation's tween and teen trend pulses. We hope
that by closely following teenage and parent trends, we will be able to
constantly provide them with the information, products and
entertainment they desire. This includes what kinds of
advertisements they want to see and how they would like to be marketed
to. Most importantly, by speaking to teenagers on their level we can
teach them the importance of issues like doing community service,
embracing healthy eating, exercising and having open communication with
others from a younger age. This, we believe, will instill
life goals that help youth today become healthy and happy adults
tomorrow.
RRules.com and its programs are vehicles that will inspire young adults
to better the world that they are about to enter, while simultaneously
creating a lucrative venture that has multifaceted growth
opportunities.
Speaker and Life Trainer
Along with other RRules life trainers, I privately help
individuals and families on problems in their personal relationships. I
have just started a speaking tour and am flying all over the US to
speak to parent groups, schools and organizations on all teen related
issues.
