Medicine: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. September 22nd, 2011| Teen Perspective
A recent study based on data reported to the American Association of Poison Control Centers between 2001 and 2008 supplied some interesting news.  The study stated that accidental medication poisonings increased 22% among children 5 and under.  This is definitely not good news, but it is also in no

Now that school has started and we are back in the swing of things, it's time for the dances.  My middle school is 5th grade through 8th, but the 5th graders aren't allowed to go to the dances.  So once you get into 6th grade you feel different, almost

by Sam P. September 12th, 2011| Teen Perspective, Teens
It's 6 p.m., you just got back from football and you have tons of homework to do, but you just don't feel like doing it. Your bedtime is 10 p.m., you still have to eat and shower too.  Time ticks by and suddenly it's 9:30 and that essay that

Alcohol: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. September 5th, 2011| Teen Perspective, Teens
I have never drunk alcohol, with the exception of communion wine.  As a high school sophomore, that makes me part of of a minority, not the majority.  According to the Federal Government, 64% of eighth graders have consumed alcohol, 81% of sophomores have, and 92% of seniors have.  This

by Sam P. August 15th, 2011| Teen Perspective
It's that  time of year again!  The time when kids groan when the word is even mentioned.  School!  Every kid is dreading it.  In just a few short weeks you'll have to get back into the rhythm of waking up early to catch the bus, coming home with what

by Jacob P. August 8th, 2011| Helpful Hints, Teen Perspective
Our family has two cars, a Honda Odyssey and a Mini Cooper.  The mini van is now thirteen years old and needs to be replaced.  It still runs, but is prone to breakdowns, so we don't drive it very far.  Due to that, we are looking for a new

On Amusement Parks: A Teen’s Confession

by Louise August 3rd, 2011| Helpful Hints, Teen Perspective
I doubt many kids will say no when presented with the idea of going to an amusement park. Actually, it's every kid's dream: roller coasters, fried dough, cotton candy, and the chance to win an enormous stuffed animal as a take-home prize. What could be better? I used to

Childhood obesity is becoming a more and more prominent issue in today's world.  With an estimated 1 out of 3 kids being obese, it can not be considered a minor problem.  Sadly, the fight against obesity itself is fraught with problems.  Both sides of the coin are wrong.  So,

by Sam P. July 21st, 2011| Teen Perspective
I always find swimsuit shopping very frustrating, as I am barely even a size zero.  I don't fit very well into juniors, but I find kids' swimsuits too young for me.

Some stores that  I suggest for teenagers like me are Aeropostale and Old Navy.  I know that you are
