		<description>Regarding &quot;A Troubled Teen&quot; vs &quot;A Terrific Teen&quot;, I have a few thoughts.

No one likes to hear that another person is wonderful. Unfortunately, human instinct for many seems to be to want to tear down the &quot;terrific&quot; and &quot;perfect&quot; people.

Ultimately the name should be what Will feels comfortable with since he is the subject of your show.

To relate, I named my show &quot;Bad Dad Radio&quot; and my online persona &quot;Bad Dad.&quot; Am I really a horrible person? Depends on the way you look at it. Personally I don&#039;t think so. I tend to be very critical of myself, so I developed a show to provide inspiration to others. My quest is continuous improvement and to help other struggling people realize they are not alone and shouldn&#039;t give up on trying to improve parenting skills and relationships.

Funny thing is, I suspect there are people who will never listen to my show because they make assumptions based on the name. That&#039;s fine. I&#039;d rather focus on the folks who took a risk instead.

Hope that helps.
