Dealing With an Obese Child

by Jacob P. July 27th, 2011| Teen Perspective
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,

Swimsuit Shopping

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

When it Pays to be a Creeper

by Lori Sciame July 18th, 2011| Teens
Creeper. You may have heard your teen use this term in reference to Facebook, but do you know what it means? Basically, a creeper is someone who has a Facebook account, but they don't just use this form of media just to be social, they use it as a

Chores

by Jacob P. July 13th, 2011| Teen Perspective
This month, my parents determined that they would take part in a new household program.  Before anyone can use an electronic (computer, TV, Xbox), they must complete their daily chore.  This is a solid system, but has both its ups and downs.  Chores are  important building blocks to responsibility,

Can Your Kid Be a College Athlete?

by Louise July 6th, 2011| Teen Perspective
Over a year ago, I wrote about getting into college with the help of sports. At that point, I had no idea what college athletics would be like, if I would fit in or end up being the slowest on the team and absolutely massacred by the training.

How to Handle the Summer

by Jacob P. June 27th, 2011| Teen Perspective, Teens
The summer has arrived, and it is in full swing.  My school ended this week, and we got out late.  So, it is now the time when students are home and bored.  We may not admit it, but we get bored when we are not getting schoolwork thrown at

Get a Job?

by Lori Sciame June 22nd, 2011| Teens
This past weekend, the money in my wallet never had a chance to get comfortable. As soon as I replenished the supply, my 13 year-old would think of another item she desperately needed.  Who would think that lotion, face wash, conditioner, and nail polish remover would be a matter

End of the School Year

by Jacob P. June 17th, 2011| Helpful Hints, Teen Perspective, Teens
I think the end of the school year is a so-so part of the year.  It isn't the worst but it isn't the best.  The high point is that regular work is reduced and it is almost over, but honors work and other term work is due, as well

Teen Perspective: On Curfews

by Louise June 9th, 2011| Teen Perspective, Teens
When we say curfew we most often refer to the time when a teenager is expected to return home after being out with friends. Do you set a curfew? Are you setting a fair curfew?

I never had a curfew until my twin sister and I learned how to drive.

Parties: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. June 3rd, 2011| Teen Perspective, Teens
Stereotypes tend to be stereotypes because they are at least somewhat true.  For example, teenagers like to party.  And I would guess greater than 90% of teens like to party.  I can tell you  I do.  There are few things more fun than hanging out with several or tons

Birthdays: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. May 4th, 2011| Teen Perspective
This past Saturday, I turned fifteen years old.  Now that I have aged another year, I am just  bit more educated in the world.  But I'm not here to talk about what I know, I'm here to talk about birthdays.   Birthdays are important, but everyone has their own opinions

Tweens

by Ronald A. Rowe January 17th, 2011| Elementary, Tweens
It happened. I don't know how it happened, but it happened. Just last week I was happily the father of two little boys. Now I have one little boy and one Tween.

In my vast research on Tweens, which consisted of Googling "Tween," I've learned that there isn't a generally
