New Year's Eve. The day everyone is told to stay up till midnight. It really is quite a glorious day. Or night depending on how you look at it. I guess you could even consider it morning. Whatever way you look at it, it is a very important day of the year. It celebrates the transformation of one year to another. But, with all of the fun, people commonly overlook safety.
In the past years, New Year's Eve has had one of the highest pregnancy rates. By that I mean that it is one of the likeliest days that women

Homework: From the Teen’s View
December 26th, 2011 Posted by Jacob P. | Academics, Teen Perspective, Teens
I don't want to toot my own horn here, but I am a good student. So far, halfway into my sophomore year I have all A's and one B+. I also maintain a 4.14 GPA, which is in between an A and an A+ at my high school. I have learned that part of the secret to getting good grades is doing your homework. So, I thought I would share my thoughts on doing homework.
- Do thy homework. I know homework sucks. I hate doing homework myself. The fact of the matter is that even though it sucks, you still
Teen Perspective: Celebrating Culture/Traditions
December 21st, 2011 Posted by Louise | Holidays, Teen Perspective
If your family has some tradition other than the typical "American" ones, cherish them. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the American holidays and the aspects that go with them, but there's something about having a special holiday that no one else celebrates (in close proximity) that can really bring a family together in a special way.
I'm a first generation American. My parents moved to the States from the Netherlands (well, technically they moved from France, but that's a different story) about 20 years ago. One of the biggest cultural factors that my parents brought with them

Dieting: From the Teen’s View (Part 1)
December 14th, 2011 Posted by Jacob P. | Eating, Sports, Teen Perspective
I don't think it is necessary for most kids to arbitrarily diet. Dieting can be unhealthy and stressful for kids and teens. There are situations where dieting is an important step to take, for one reason or another. So, I thought I would write about what I think about dieting for kids and teens.
I don't think dieting is a necessary step for most scenarios. There are many situations where it is immediately thought of as the primary cure for obesity or other unhealthy conditions. Here are the only two scenarios where I think it should be considered immediately.

Teen’s Perspective on Video Chats
December 5th, 2011 Posted by Sam P. | Behavior, Safety, Teen Perspective
Oovoo, Skype, Facebook, Google, whatever software you use, they are all pretty much the same. Personally, I prefer Oovoo, but I find Skype to work fairly well, too. I can't say anything about Facebook or Google because I have never used either of them. I think the population of teenagers prefers Oovoo, not sure why, I just think they do. I only say this because most of my friends have an Oovoo, but not a Skype.
I personally think they are a great way to communicate and work on school projects. Or, say you do drama, you could get a
