Teen’s Perspective on Summer Romances

by Sam P. August 14th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
What teenage girl or boy doesn't want to experience their first summer romance?  Specifically girls,  but either way, I don't think there is a single teenager that doesn't want to experience love.  And when you are going into high school, it is the perfect time to test out your

Money Management: From the (Driving) Teen’s View

by Jacob P. August 6th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
As I have said before, I am a saver. I rarely spend money, prefering to put it away for later.  When I do spend, I will mentally debate it for quite a while and even research what I am buying.  "Cheap" is an accurate descriptor of me.  Now that I

Teen’s Perspective on Everyday Chores

by Sam P. July 31st, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
Nobody enjoys doing chores, it is a proven fact.  For some lucky teenagers, they get a weekly allowance for nothing, some do chores for an allowance.  And some teenagers do chores, but for no allowance.  (I would be included in the last group.)  Not all, and more like no,

Bye-bye, Summer, Hello, Doubles

by Jacob P. July 25th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
Today (Sunday the 22nd) is essentially the last day of complete summer-time freedom.  Tomorrow, a week-long football camp put on by my high school begins.  After that, I get one week off before double sessions begin.  In other words, my summer is pretty much over.  I will still have

Summer Shopping Sprees: Friend or Foe?

by Sam P. July 18th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
Before I even start debating against myself, I will say that this article is most certainly aimed towards the majority of  female adolescents.

Almost every teenage girl loves to shop.  And specifically with her friends, and no adults.  And why not?  You get new clothes, new shoes, new makeup, and

Rating Systems: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. July 9th, 2012| Teen Perspective
First of all, I would like to apologize for lying.  I didn't get the talk I  was expecting about the responsibilities of driving, so I will not be able to write the second part of that "My Expectations."  The only rules I got were about gas money, and they

Long Car Rides

by Sam P. July 4th, 2012| Teen Perspective
In a large family, flying places gets quite expensive, and quickly too.  Because of that, my family tends to drive everywhere.  Sure, always driving is boring and slow, not to mention cramped.  But almost always it is much more financially intelligent, especially with six people in our family, because

My Expectations

by Jacob P. June 25th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
So, at some point this week (I am writing this on Wednesday the 20th), I will be going to get my driver's license.  I have everything; I'm ready to go and I think I will do just fine.  So, I have been thinking about the rules that I expect

Teen’s Perspective on Family Birthday Parties

by Sam P. June 19th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
On Sunday, I went to my four-year-old cousin's birthday party.  And when I got home I started thinking about how when I was his age I had two birthday parties, one with my friends and one with my family.  His was a combined one, with friends and family, and

Scheduling: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. June 13th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
For those who don't know, I am very anal (cue giggling).   In other words, I am organized and get  slightly bothered when things aren't.  Although it isn't as bad as clinical Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, it's similar.  This means that I tend to organize myself, but I am also a

Art: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. May 30th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
This weekend, I went to the Andres Institute of Art in Brookline, New Hampshire.  The institute is actually Bear Mountain, which artist Paul Andres owns.  The mountain has artwork (mainly sculptures and metal-art) located all over it, which can be accessed via hiking trails.  Although I am not

Dress Shopping

by Sam P. May 25th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
I am in eighth grade so I have a graduation in a few weeks before I go to high school.  This occasion also has a dance, and it is a semi-formal/formal event.  Because of this I had to go dress shopping.  So, I figured I should probably write an
