Ms. Barber has a special talent when it comes to talking to young people. We all know it’s especially difficult to get your hormonal eye-rolling teen to talk to you about their feelings, but Ms. Barber has the secret. It’s not something she can pinpoint, exactly, but believes that her asthma has something to do with it. More from The Stir: Stop Blaming Facebook for Your Teen’s Bad Behavior As a young girl, her asthma was so bad she couldn’t play with the other children, so instead she had to sit, listen, talk, and observe. All skills that would eventually prove necessary for decoding a teen. Parents send their kids to Barber because they believe she can help. She’s sort of a special kind of college adviser (one whom other, school-employed college counselors aren’t necessarily fans of), and she gets teens to hone in on what they really want to study in college. “Revealing aptitude is her trademark,” says USA Today. Barber charges about $300 a session, and with her stellar reputation, it sounds as if she’s worth it. As a teen who entered college thinking about majoring in everything from Art History to Oceanography to Communications to Education to Whatever I’ll Just Drink My Face Off for Four Years, I think I would’ve benefited from a Teen Whisperer focusing in on my (alleged) aptitude for English Lit and creative writing. It would’ve saved me hours in the lab looking at algae anyway, that’s for sure. Of course, Barber has naysayers, but hey — if there’s someone out there who’s mastered the impossible skill of talking to teens, who has good intentions, and who’s for hire? Well, then, I’m sold.
