No, this is not spam or a scam, but I do need your help.
One of my professors is doing a study on "Culture and Family Life," and needs participants. If you are between the ages of 11-17, I ask that you and your mother take the survey. It shouldn't take longer than 35 minutes and you will recieve a $5 gift card after both you and your mom complete the survey.
The only thing I ask is that when asked how you found out about the survey you put my name, John Christiansen, so I can get some extra credit.
Here is the link to the survey and some information about it:

If you have any questions, let me know. If you could post here or send me a PM if you have completed it, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
