I just don't understand what's going on with teens these days...a 13 year old teen girl threatened her family with a semi automatic pistol over the weekend because she was in trouble for sneaking out to see a boy!
I know parents who let their teens drink at dinner with them to teach them how to consume alcohol responsibly. I know many more parents shocked and disturbed by the idea. What do you think?
Big Jim and I ran across a story this morning and got us thinking here it is:A guy just posted a page from his high school yearbook online . . . and in a sign of the times, it features students with the best TATTOOS. It's bad enough that this many kids at one high school have tattoos, but the tattoos themselves are terrible.
If you have a teen at home you probably know parents and teens speak 2 different languages. I have a 16 year old son at home so Big Jim thought he would test my text acronym knowledge....I didn't do so well
Big Jim thinks that the whole situation with his Sheri using of teenage "slang" terms is ridiculous. I, on the other hand, think that keeping up with the times is OK. Using the terms "filthy" and "dank" and "sick" is cool -- if you can do it right. Keeping up with modern lingo is important. My mom was always stealing clothes from my closet to stay current.
My significant other keeps talking like her teenagers. She's 40! It drives me crazy! She thinks she's being a "cool mom" and staying up with the times saying things are SICK, DANK and FILTHY. But the proof that she knows it's weird is the fact that she won't say those words in front of her friends!
While the summer months are supposed to fun and a much needed break from the previous school year, a new survey finds that many teens are using their summer vacation to try drugs and alcohol.
Health experts have been buzzing this week after a new study seemed to show a dramatic rise in the number of teenagers who have diabetes or are at risk for developing it. But are the research findings really cause for alarm?
