At one time or another, every kid has wondered how big they will be as adults. I wonder how large I will be, and I'm fifteen. It's natural for kids to be interested in their size, but worry over size is a completely different matter. Kids mainly only worry about height, so I am going to refer to that more than weight or other types of size.
First of all, you have to remember that your height is completely out of anyone's control. The genetics you are born with are currently unchangeable and will determine your height, so what you

Grades Closing: From the Teen’s View
November 14th, 2011 Posted by Jacob P. | Academics, Adolescence, Teen Perspective
Last Thursday, my high school's quarterly progress reports were released. Our school runs on a semester-based grading system, but grades are closed and progress reports are released at the end of the first and third quarters. This allows the parents and students to see how they are doing in each class and show what they will have to do to bring their grades up for the semester. So, I began to think about the importance of grades closing and what students must do keep their grades up.

This is the article I’ve been dreading to write…the one that concerns teen sexuality. Why? Because we all know the issue of teens having sex is a “hot button” issue. Parents across the United States have vastly different views on how to approach this sensitive issue with their children, including everything from abstinence only education to avoiding the subject all together.

Teen Perspective on PG-13 and R Rated Movies
November 7th, 2011 Posted by Sam P. | Adolescence, Entertainment, Teen Perspective
With the new Twilight movie coming out soon, I figured this is the perfect time to discuss this. Now, if you have ever read Breaking Dawn, you know that some parts are very scandalous and very adult.

I have watched quite a few R rated movies, like just last week I watched Horrible Bosses (if you are curious I thought it was hilarious). The R

Swearing: From the Teen’s View
October 5th, 2011 Posted by Jacob P. | Adolescence, Behavior, Teen Perspective
These days, if you turn the radio on, you are bound to find a song laced with profanity. Swearing is just a fact of life in modern times. It always has been, but like many other things, we are loosening our grasp on what is "bad." Children are learning swears younger and younger. This means that more and more effort has to be put in by parents to keep their child from cussing all the time.
Personally, I didn't swear much as a young child. I didn't hear swears much, and I pretty much only watched children's television and PG
