Her mother said they were listening to the radio one morning while Elaina was getting ready for school. “The presenter asked for people’s advice for a woman trying to get over a break-up and Elaina said she wanted to phone in so we called and I was surprised with what she came out with,” declared Elaina’s mom for Dailymail.co.uk. Are you wondering what was the girl’s advisc? She said the women should grab the girls, go bowling and drink a mug of milk. The local radio station was so impressed with her advice, they decided to offer Elaina a weekly breakfast slot.
According to Dailymail.co.uk, these are some of Elaina’s top tips:
Andy: ‘Hello Elaina, we’ve get a letter from someone here. It says, “I’ve been single for far too long and all my friends have boyfriends, I’m a little bit worried about being left on the shelf. What can I do to meet Mr. Right?”‘
Elaina: ‘Go into town and shake your booty on the dance floor. Make sure he’s got money and a big car.’
Andy: ‘We’ve had an email from Trish which says: “My boyfriend has gone off with my friend. What can I do to get him back? I really miss him”.’
Elaina: ‘He’s not worth the heartache. Life’s too short to be upset with a boy. His new girlfriend will always be thinking if he cheated with her then he will cheat again.’

2. Akrit Jaswal
The Indian teenager gained international attention as a physician, despite never attending or graduating Medical School.

Driven by a strong passion for anatomy and science, he used to read at six everything he could find on human anatomy. Akrit was writing and reading by two and by the time he was five, he was reading Shakespeare…in English.
Akrit is now trying to find a cure for cancer. “I’ve developed a concept called oral gene therapy on the basis of my research and my theories. I’m quite dedicated towards working on this mechanism,” said the teenager from Himachal Pradesh, India.
