Academic Survey

[NothingToWorryAbout 4]

I sent this off to a dozen moderators, asking if there was any issues. I sent this two weeks ago. I am going to assume that the lack of people saying no means that there is no issues with this. 

 

Hello. I am a student attending a IB school in the Washington DC area. Before we can graduate, Everyone in the program has to complete what is known as a "personal project", which is unique because we can do one on pretty much anything (Although my friend's idea to grow pot was rejected on the grounds that that's illegal in this state)

After having much difficulty trying to figure out what to do my project on (my other ideas were rejected on the fact that charity fraud is illegal in every state), I remembered a old friend of mine, who was a Brony. So I decided that I should do my project on bronies and Brony Culture. 

I have some questions, ***ALL OF WHICH ARE OPTIONAL***. That means you don't have to answer the ones you don't want to, and I won't hold it against you.

QUESTIONS I FORGOT TO INCLUDE IN THE FIRST SURVEY:

Thanks for your help. If you are interested, send me a email at aal39093@gmail.com (Spam email with a autoforward), and I'll update you when the project is finished. 

PS: In my general research and the fact that they are bronies, I am assuming you are male. If you are not, please say so.
