Teen’s Perspective on Middle School Drama

by Sam P. April 24th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
Middle school will probably end up being some of the worst years of your life because everybody is going through puberty, so girls are extra emotional and guys are getting acne.  (Well, actually everyone gets acne.)  Normally when you think about eighth grade, you think of a bunch of

Thongs Gone Wrong

by Lori Sciame April 16th, 2012| Tweens
Thong.  I hate that word.  Why? Because when my daughter turned 12 years old, her best  friend gave her Victoria's Secret (VS) thongs for a birthday present.  I will admit, I am old-fashioned, so I became extremely upset that another mother had taken it upon herself to buy my daughter intimate apparel.  The

My six-year-old son came home from school the other day and told me that the parents of some of his classmates were crazy. To say that this comment piqued my interest would be a gross understatement. Intrigued, I asked him to clarify just why he thought so.

by Sam P. March 30th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
If you are anything like me, you hate asking for help.  Specifically from parents, but for the most part you just despise asking for help.  I am a very arrogant, headstrong, proud person.  And at times this is a good thing, like when I am standing up for something
