Some do not believe in...

I live in a suburban, upper-middle class neighborhood in Southern California. The community is made up of high one-income families, full-time dual income families and lots of stay-at-home moms with "side income". It is hard not to generalize but I am sure most adults in the area are college educated, many with graduate degrees, as you can see by the number of UCLA and USC license plates frames on SUVs. I am not sure what class I missed in college, but it seems many parents had some traini...

The oddest coincidence happened to me. I'm doing research on things that are killing our teenagers. It consisted of opening up the websites and going through lists of things. Yes I saw this word; Trunking. In my head I got a picture of climbing into the trunk of some friend's car when I was like 16 years old to sneak into a drive-in movie theater.

For most parents, saying no to their children is hard. Parents may feel that they are being mean, unfair, or that they are denying their children life's pleasures by not letting them have their every heart's desire. Often times, parents take the saying, "Ask and you shall receive," a bit too literally.
With brighter, shinier, faster toys on the market these days, it seems that children hardly have a chance to play with their toys before they want the newer, improved version of the thing y...

I have found that a great way for teens to give back is through summer volunteer programs. Summer volunteer programs allow students who ordinarily are not able to donate their time to do so...
