Dieting: From the Teen’s View (Part 1)

by Jacob P. December 14th, 2011| Teen Perspective
I don't think it is necessary for most kids to arbitrarily diet.  Dieting can be unhealthy and stressful for kids and teens.  There are situations where dieting is an important step to take, for one reason or another.  So, I thought I would write about what I think about

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

Size: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. November 28th, 2011| 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

Making a Memory Book

by Louise November 25th, 2011| Elementary, Teen Perspective
A memory book is a scrapbook for memories. The memories can be in the form of pictures or words, or a combination of the two. When I was in 6th grade, every student in my class was required to create a memory book that would be a record of

Grades Closing: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. November 14th, 2011| Teen Perspective
Last Thursday, my high school's quarterly progress reports were released.  Our school runs on a semester-based grading system, but grades are closed and progress reports are released at the end of the first and third quarters.  This allows the parents and students to see how they are doing in

Teen Perspective on PG-13 and R Rated Movies

by Sam P. November 7th, 2011| Teen Perspective
With the new Twilight movie coming out soon, I figured this is the perfect time to discuss this.  Now, if you have ever read Breaking Dawn, you know that some parts are very scandalous and very adult.  I was very worried that it would be rated R if they

Halloween: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. November 2nd, 2011| Teens
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

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

Sports Injuries

by Jacob P. October 21st, 2011| 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

Halloween

by Sam P. October 17th, 2011| Teen Perspective
All right, listen up teens and tweens, because here is some good advice on having a safe, but fun, Halloween.

First off, I want to say that once you hit 14 or 15, you shouldn't be trick or treating anymore.  Once you hit that age, you are in high school,

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.

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

Swearing: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. October 5th, 2011| Teen Perspective
These days, if you turn the radio on, you are bound to find a song laced with profanity.  Swearing is just a fact of life in modern times.  It always has been, but like many other things, we are loosening our grasp on what is "bad."  Children are learning
