I'm suppose to interview an elderly person for my psychology ...

[Garrulous]

Hey,

Well,my psychology homework is due Tuesday.And i yet to find no one,I'm unable to do so in person..so i decided online wouldn't much of a bad idea.But,where to find someone of the age 65+ perhaps,I'd just get someone near the age of 60+ as an exception. It has several question regarding their life.

Is there anyone out there (or anyone that knows anyone else) who is  willing to give there time to answer various questions about themselves?

I don't have a grandmother,no elderly person and i'm unable to go to any shelter point is my only choice so far is online,I'd love to interview someone who has experience historical events.

... I'm dommed.

Relax, you are not doomed.  Look for the nearest old age home near you.  There are always at least one or two within a mile of where you live.  I am sure you will get more than one volunteer to help with your interview.  They have lobbies where a bunch of them usually hang out and just talk.  Tell them you are doing a class project and they will be more than happy to help.

My mother lives with us and at 73, I think she'll qualify for your interview.  If you'll list your questions, I'll be happy to ask her for you and let you know the answers. I'm sure she'd love to do this.

Have you tried asking in the Senior section of Y!A?

i also am grandparent-less.  you can find the best substitute grandparents by volunteering at local nursing/retirement homes.  pretty much all you have to do is sit and listen.
even if you don't have time before your paper is due, it's still really neat to get involved. older people are so valuable.  it's shameful that so many are ignored and shuffled out of view as soon as they get a little advanced in age.

Try a "silver" chat room.  Also, you might be able to recruit somebody form your local church or nursing home.

I'm almost 60 do I qualify?  (I'll be 60 in June and I'm a grandmother).
