Size: From the Teen’s View

November 28th, 2011 Posted by Jacob P. | Adolescence, Teen Perspective, Teens
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

Teen Sexuality

November 9th, 2011 Posted by Lori S. | Adolescence, Emotions, Teens
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.

But I chose to write this post anyways, as I do know one thing for certain - parents want what is best for their teenager, and their picture of health and happiness does not include sexually transmitted infections (STI’s)

Halloween: From the Teen’s View

Once again, Halloween has come and passed by (unless you live in the Nor’ Easter afflicted regions).  Every year, I lose a little more interest in it.   The last year I actually trick or treated was during eighth grade, when I was 13.   Last year, I just walked around the town with my girlfriend and some of her friends.  This year’s Halloween has been postponed, because New Hampshire has been devastated by the snow storm (currently 87% of my town lacks power).  I’m sure I will end up hanging out with friends, though.  As I get older, I am

Sports Injuries

October 21st, 2011 Posted by Jacob P. | Sports, Teen Perspective, Teens
As most of the people who read my articles presumably know, I am a high school athlete.  Currently, I am in the middle of football season.  In the winter, I wrestle and in the spring I run track.  This means that I am constantly seeing fellow athletes get hurt and often getting hurt myself.  Just this weekend, two kids from my team twisted their ankles and one kid from my team hurt his knee.  So, I thought I would share my insight on how parents should handle their high school athlete's injuries.

  • Do not immediately go to the doctor.  I

Teen’s Perspective on Facebook

October 12th, 2011 Posted by Sam P. | Internet, Teen Perspective, Teens
Facebook -- everybody has it, but do you really need it?  I could see arguing for both sides, so I will.

Facebook is completely unnecessary.  You see your friends all day long at school;  if you want to talk to them you can call them or text them or go over their house.  Why do you need to know what people are doing 24/7?  I mean, did I really need to know that your dog was sitting on you or that you pulled an all-nighter? If I wanted to know what you were doing or how you were, I would
