Fall Date Ideas

Fall is quite easily my favorite season.  The colors are beautiful and it's perfect cuddle weather.  And of course, the slight nippiness in the air is the prime weather for endless cute outfits.  But despite the thousands of reasons why the outdoors is gorgeous and perfect for dates, many couples end

by Jacob P. October 1st, 2013| Teen Perspective, Teens
Like many students, I am a poor studier.  I do not particularly enjoy studying, nor do I study frequently.  So far in my high school career, I have been able to pull off good grades without studying.  Now that I am entering my senior year, though, I am finding

by Jacob P. September 4th, 2013| Teen Perspective, Teens

by Sam P. August 29th, 2013| Safety, Teen Perspective, Teens

by Sam P. August 14th, 2013| Teen Perspective, Teens

by Sam P. August 2nd, 2013| Teen Perspective, Teens
This is a tricky topic for me, as I am by no means  an "expert" in this field.  But it is something that needs to be talked about.  I don't think adults realize the number of teenagers that are sexually active.  I am going into my sophomore year and

What To Do in a Car Accident

by Sam P. July 24th, 2013| Safety, Teen Perspective, Teens
Being only a teen, driving is a major accomplishment, not to mention a major responsibility.  And even though no teen wants to wreck their parents' car, accidents happen.  Getting into an accident is a very scary ordeal, and many teens don't know how to handle the situation.  My friend
