I know I've not posted here before, and I don't wish to cause any disturbance; however, I'm working on a series of contemporary novels, which require some research into the minds of British schoolboys, approximately twelve years of age, in the Devon\Cornwall region. The trouble is, twelve-year-old British schoolboys are not only next to impossible to get in touch with without seeming like some whacko-pervert but they are also next to impossible subjects from which to extract useful information. I'm, therefore interested in talking to any individuals who were, at one point in their lives, twelve-year-old British schoolboys from the Devon\Cornwall region, preferably between the years 1986 and 1989.

Thanks if you can help. If you can't help, thanks for not filleting me because of what you may perceive as a pointless post, unworthy of your time.

Sincerely,
Azy

    I think the majority of users are a bit young. I was 12 in 1995. Sorry to be a disappointment :(

    Not at all a disappointment. I only chose this particular board because it was titled STUDENT; and by three o'clock in the morning, after nearly six hours of sifting through British boarding school propaganda, it looked promising. (grin)

    It's a trial and error sort of thing, research. I usually make many errors before finding what I'm looking for. Besides, I've been known to find just what I'm seeking in some of the most unexpected places. (mischevious grin)

    Sincerely,
    Azy

    perhaps you could try asking local schools if they'd allow you to sit in on some classes, maybe? I'm not sure of the legalities surrounding that, but it's worth a try :)
