An eleven year old boy is offering “emotional advice” in a subway station of New York City for only 2$.

A few months ago, Ciro Ortiz, a sixth-grader boy who got bullied in the past, set up an “emotional advice” stand in the Bedford L train stop, asking only 2$ for a five minutes session with him. He can answer questions on all topics. He stays there from noon to two pm.”It’s a good way to give back and make money,” he said.

He doesn’t make such money, but, one Sunday, he earned 50$ with all his advice, and the best of it, he does not keep the bill, he is buying snacks for people who can’t afford them.”He’s not selfish with his money,”said his father, Adam Ortiz.

Ciro doesn’t want to pursue a career as a psychotherapist, he wants to become a game developer, he “hates” school but he is on the honor roll and excels in science and English classes at his school.

His parents always supported him to be kind with everyone and to follow his dream so, that’s why they spend some of their afternoons with him in the subway station. His mother is taking pictures of him while he is working and we can find them on his Instagram account: emotionaladvicekid. If you are curious, there is a picture of him while a police officer was confiding about his problems.

The most common problems he has to deal with , is adults having trouble dealing with changes.”They feel a certain way in the past and when they look back in hindsight, they say things were so much better back then,” he said.

Here is on of his advice on the subject: “We have to accept changes. It’s going to happen, it’s always going to happen. Life is always changing.”
