by Jacob P. January 13th, 2012| Teen Perspective

by Sam P. January 2nd, 2012| Pregnancy, Teen Perspective, Teens
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

Tween Advice on Music

by Sam P. December 16th, 2011| Tweens
OK, you may think I'm crazy, but I believe that music really resembles who you are.  I listen to a large variety of music, from dubstep, to the Beatles, to Taylor Swift, to classical music.  I, also, truly believe that listening to a wide variety of music broadens your

by Ronald A. Rowe December 9th, 2011| Elementary
Children learn early on in life that there are consequences to their choices. They also learn, despite our best efforts to the contrary, that they can avoid the consequences if they can deflect the responsibility. In my years of working with children, I've heard it all. "The teacher didn't

Teen’s Perspective on Video Chats

by Sam P. December 5th, 2011| 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

Why I Liked to Rake Leaves

by Louise October 26th, 2011| Teen Perspective
I remember liking raking. I couldn't wait for the leaves to fall so my sisters and I could start raking. So you must be thinking, "Which hypnotist did your parents use and how much does he charge?" I'm not sure if it was something my parents said, but in

by Ronald A. Rowe October 14th, 2011| Elementary, Helpful Hints
You know that famous speech given by Bill Gates to a high school graduating class where he outlines 11 things that kids need to know but won't learn in school? Turns out that never happened. It's an internet legend, fostered by people with WAAAY too much time on their

Teen’s Perspective on Facebook

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