Welcome! AnupamaRao
We are happy to have you here!

Happy to be here!

1.Real name ( if you don't want to disclose its okay!)

Anupama

your name is very beautiful ❤

thank you

2.your age?

17

we same age bro😁😃

3.Where did you get the inspiration to start writing?

I started off writing with an art class assignment to make a superhero. Later, I was bored and randomly started continuing that

Now, it's a mix of movies and real life.

That's amusingly impressive ❤

thank you

4.What are the things you do in your leisure time?

I love writing and nowadays since I'm in 12th, I can't do that much. But I do take some time out whenever I can to write

Interesting!

5.What is the first work you wrote in this platform(wattpad)? What was the response you got for that work?

I don't remember...
I think it was a fan fiction on Kaira because I came on Wattpad to read that it had a good response, but now I know that non-fanfics don't get as much notice as those with a cast

Kaira?

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Kartik and Naira

Cool, I believe there are still many who love fanfics ❤

I do too! Just not Kaira anymore

6.Is there any particular genre which you love to read?

I love to read romance and teen fic on wattpad, but in real life, I like to read history books (don'tjudge me, I did get a couple of interesting history books that I haven't read yet because of
school)I don't have a specific genre for hardcoversbut romance is my jam

haha i wont, i chose my 11th history haha
its my jam too😉

nice! I'm a science kid so…

ayy doc

nope, idk what i'm going to do tbh

hehe, why is it so relatable

7.What are the favourite works either on wattpad or outside which you read in one go orfound them interesting?

SO MANY!!! Wattpad, I've made a whole "Priorities" reading list for all my favorite books that I'drather read over and over again. In real life, I love the Malory Towers series, got the whole
series through some school gift cards; The Alchemist is also a good one, and AishaChaudhary's "My Little Epiphanies" is my favorite quote book

i'll definitely check those out

8.What is the thing you see when you first glance at the book?

On wattpad, the cover and description. In real life, the back cover. Only if something in thedescription/back cover interests me will I ever think of reading iti'm very choosy so that's the best way to find out

i do the same too, i call descriptions as trailers haha
moving on

9.What is your prospective about teenage?

I feel like we are caught between being adults and being kids. It's like, we can't speak aboutpolitics because "we are too young" but we are of the age where we SHOULD know what wewant to do in life

I agree

It's either that we are too young or too old, never our age

I do believe teenagers should be able to know everything, this is the age where our mindshapes afterall

10.What do you value the most in your life?
friends, family, and being true to yourself
and my culture! top of the list

thats amazing!

11.What do you want to achieve in your lifetime?

I just want to make people happy and have a positive impact on at least one personI know the first one is hard to achieve, but the second one

aww you ray of sunshine❤
i love be like that too, its makes me very happy when i make others happy haha
okay, moving on

12.What ways did Wattpad help you? Did it help you increase your potential?
It's just given me a platform to grow my abilities as a writer and come up with good ideas (somecrazy things, but I love my imagination)
I feel there's always room to grow and I'm not aware of my potential yet lol

indeed, there's always room for improvement

13.What are your expectations from readers?

I just want them to enjoy my story and comment to let me know that they are enjoying it.
I don't really care about the votes, but comments mean a lot to me
there are very few who comment haha, there are indeed precious

I'm one of them, so I know how much writers like these comments

your so sweet!! sometimes just a comment can someone's day

14.What do you enjoy being the most a reader or an author?

i enjoy both!! reading helps me grow my understanding on how i can present my work in a better
way and writing helps me express myself and my ideas to the world

Interesting!
15.Since how many years are you using Wattpad?

I have been on wattpad since March 2018, so 2.5 years

Cool
you wrote many in those 2.5 years
thats amazing!

nope, I only have 1 novel and a couple of short stories
others... well are in the drafts and I'm not sure if i'll go back to those

haha i do abandoned my drafts haha

16.What do you think plays a major role in teenagers lives? Society or friends?

both, we have pressure from both sides, but it's sometimes important to shut them out and thinkabout what really matters to YOU, even if it doesn't align with anyone else (including parents)

indeed. we should prioritize our feelings. others opinion sometimes can break us

exactly

moving on

17.Is social media good for teenagers?

it goes both ways, it's good because you can keep in touch with friends even after leaving aschool/area/country; it's bad because there's so much negativity sometimes and "norms" for us
to fit into than just being ourselves

yess, sometimes it ruins and heals us at the same time

18.Most of the teenagers make friends in many platforms. Do you think it is good or bad?

both? I have a few wattpad friends I'm really close to and i'm also in a couple of communities. infact, i feel i can talk to them about a few things better than my real life friendsbut if it's the wrong people, it can go down hill

true, I found many amazing friends online but we should always look out from predatorsand stay safe

19.Any short message to the teenagers like you.

despite all the pressures, remember that YOU are important and the phrase "be yourself" shouldnot be ignored. I cannot stress on how important it is to be ourselves in a world wherefake/copied things are popularalso, you don't have to be popular. it doesn't really matter. what actually matters is having agood and kind heart

I agree, Be you❤fame doesnt matter indeed

20.Lastly, Few words about our community.

i don't really know the community very well so…
no worries! we are teenfix community. We usually try to help out teens with theirproblems.it's a good cause!
