| Mommy Makeover Concerns – When Teenagers Get Pregnant | | 2008-07-01 00:57:00 | | Teenage pregnancy is an extremely touchy subject but is something worth looking into especially for mothers concerned about their daughters who are still, according to them, 'babies'.Mainstream media on this subject increased coverage with teens like Ashley Simpson and Jamie Lyyn Spears getting pregnant, movies like Juno (released this year) and shows like The O.C., and more recently The Secret Life of The American Teenager. You have to grant the media this though, there are serious attempts being made to highlight the problems that come with teen pregnancies.PSI mommy makeovers appreciate these attempts by the media and would only like to point out that teen pregnancies are, contrary to accepted beliefs, at the lowest level in 30 years.This doesn't make the problem any less serious however, and parents are expected to treat the issue with understanding and sensitivity. There are various channels and helplines available to help such families deal with teen pregnan | | By: Mommy Makeover Beverly Hills | | |
| | Chivalry is dead amongst self-absorbed teenagers. | | 2008-06-02 05:04:21 | | So you're sitting talking to a girl you know, at a party. Earlier you'd put your arms around her and told her you like cuddling her. You told her she's pretty. Then you sit down opposite her and she asks you how you are. You talk about the many problems you think you have.All the while she sits opposite you in a thin, lacey dress. The night air is crisp. She's visibly shivering.You're wearing two thick jackets and a long-sleeved shirt.You sit and you talk about yourself. She listens for a long time. You look into her eyes and tell her you don't know why you're telling her this, except... you trust her.Her teeth chatter as she smiles and helps you sort through your issues. You don't really listen at first, you're too caught up in the idea that nothing will help.But then you admit that she's right.She tells you to go and have some fun, and she leaves. You do as she says. You enjoy yourself.She feels like a dark cloud is hanging over her now, spoiling her fun.He's made her miserable, but | | By: Oh My, said Miss Milk | | |

| Open Letter to Teenagers | | 2008-05-04 11:24:00 | | (I don't know who to credit this to, it was sent to me in one of those "FW:FW:FW:FW:" emails. It cracked me up, so I thought I would share it) When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning ... Uphill BOTH ways…Yadda, yadda, yadda. And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, There was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it… and how easy they've got it! But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good you've got it! I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet . If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves..... in th | | By: Que Pasa? | | |

| Teenagers Prefer Sony Ericsson to NOKIA | | 2008-04-18 07:57:00 | | A survey, which was conducted by social networking website Habbo across 31 countries, revealed that Nokia's dominance at the top of the global chart has been weakened.Despite the 58,480 teens which took part in the survey say that Nokia is the number one mobile brand globally, Nokia has lost some favour with teens to Sony Ericsson and Samsung since 2006, when the previous Global Habbo Youth Survey was conducted.Despite still being the favoured handset in 15 of the 31 countries polled, Nokia loses out to Sony Ericsson in markets such as the UK, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, in markets, where Nokia ranked first in 2006, which suggests that brand loyalty to Nokia, amongst teens globally, hasn’t increased alongside Nokia’s market share, which reached 40% in the fourth quarter of 2007.The results of the survey show that except of the calling and text messaging, teens are now regularly using their mobile handsets as entertainment devices.

| | Parenting Your Teenager - Peer Pressure For Teenagers During Their High-School Years | | 2008-04-12 13:57:00 | | by: Christina BottoYour teenager faces several areas of peer pressure during his or her high school years.What makes it even harder for your teenager is that most parents do not understand the depths to which these pressures go.Cigarettes and AlcoholCigarettes and alcohol more than likely will be among the first areas which your teenager will have to face peer pressure. With movies and television flashing images of underage smoking and drinking, most teenagers are shown only the more enjoyable and funny sides of these habits.High school years are very competitive, and where your teenager stands on the popular scale with the rest of his or her peers is very important. To be considered a "looser" is one of the biggest fears of today's teenager.To avoid this label they sometimes will portray an image of being tough, rebellious and uncontrolled by their parents. For today's teenagers, smoking and drinking are the easiest ways to declare their independence.DrugsA more dangerous and potentia | | By: High School Information (Silabus-RPP) | | |

| | | Tilly And The Wall + The Teenagers + Lightspeed Champion + Slow Club @ Electric Ballroom | | 2007-09-17 10:24:00 | | With no new releases planned for the near future, it seemed an odd time to tour the UK for Omaha lovelies Tilly And The Wall, but with their contagiously fun live shows and a gaggle of great support acts, i really couldn't miss this show.Slow Club were the first on the famous Electric Ballroom stage. Already adored by funfunfun, who was down the front singing and dancing along, Rebecca and Charles must have won over the small but intrigued crowd that had arrived early. For all those who made a fashionable late entry, it shouldn't be fashionable to miss these guys. They have such a way with a tune and their songs contain enough hooks, that one of them could bag more fish than those blokes on The Deadliest Catch...with a lot less death-defying and a lot more tea drinking. With their usual set up of guitar and random percussion, including spoons, glass bottles and a wooden chair, their minimalist style lends itself to the strip down indie folk racket they play and future single Me And You is a perfect example of this. All heavily strummed chords, beaten chairs and crazy lyrics, its a riot. Perfect start to the evening.Lightspeed Champion seemed to have followed me from gig to gig this Summer, having supported Final Fantasy back in July and then played with The Mules in August, now here he was again. This time round he was back by a full band but disappointingly Dev had no female backing to support his sometimes grating vocals and it was pretty obvious. Songs like Galaxy Of The Lost and Mr Fisk sounded thinner without the feminine support of Flo or Emmy and the loss was detrimental to the performance. Dev and his violinist covered Eugene McGuiness' Girl Who My Eyes Shine For, which was surprisingly solid and the epic closer, and next single, Midnight Surprise with its driving violin finale part - although the drummer seemed to want to overshadow everyone on that particular song - were highlights, the set was disappointing.

| | Teenagers At Risk Of Internet Addiction | | 2007-06-01 16:23:00 | | If your teenager spends hours huddled over a computer, there is a good chance you have something to worry about — internet addiction.The first study of the impact of internet use on Australian teenagers found a third of respondents were "in the process of becoming psychologically addicted" and teenagers, on average, spent 13 hours a week on-line.The pilot study, conducted by Dr Mubarak Ali of Flinders University in Adelaide, focused on 114 government and private-school students across a broad socio-economic range.The validity of so-called internet addiction is hotly debated, but Dr Ali, a mental health expert, said it appeared to follow a similar pattern to gambling."Substance abuse is something visible. Psychological addictions are caused by wanting to hang onto or enhance positive feelings and stimuli, like winning in gambling, playing computer games or projecting whatever personality you like in chat rooms," he said.Seven per cent of teenagers aged 13 to 17 described themselves as | | By: Parenting Tricks For Teens | | |
| | The Terrible Teens; The Challenge Of Parenting Teenagers | | 2007-05-30 16:55:00 | | Parents who have been through it will often remark about the difficulties and frustrations of the “terrible twos” – a time in which toddlers set about finding and asserting their own individuality and independence. It can be an enormously demanding time for parents who – up until then – had complete control over the activities of their child. Suddenly, they are thrust into a world where their word is challenged and their once complacent child has been replaced with an unpredictable person who knows their own mind and isn’t afraid to say so.But what few will tell you as you go through this frustrating time is that it’s just the beginning. That these small toddler tantrums that seem so earth-shattering at the time are merely the appetizers to a much larger feeding frenzy. Because the challenge of parenting teenagers is still to come and – little do you know – you’ll soon wish for these times of innocence and toddler tenacity.Parenting children of any age carries with | | By: Parenting Tricks For Teens | | |
| | Parenting in Buying Safe Cars For Your Teenagers | | 2007-05-23 15:49:00 | | One of the scariest things you’ll ever do is hand over a set of car keys to your teenager.Teenagers have the worst driving records on the road, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. About a hundred teenagers die every week in car accidents: two out of three of them are males. Teens make up 7% of the drivers but are involved in 14% of car accidents. Sixteen-year-old drivers, the youngest and most inexperienced, have the most accidents of any age group.Naturally, you want to do everything you can to make your teen’s driving experience as safe as possible. Your instinct may be to protect her by getting the biggest heaviest meanest car on the road. However, research indicates a better choice might be a low profile, four-door passenger car of medium size with great reliability ratings, up-to-date safety features and good performance on crash tests. Performance. There is a saying that a middle-aged man should never buy his teen the sports car he always wanted himself. | | By: Parenting Tricks For Teens | | |
| | Successfully Raising Teenagers Without Losing Your Mind | | 2007-05-05 16:23:00 | | ⋆Does your 15 year old defy you? Have you ever been told, “It’s my life and I can make my own decisions” by a 15 or 17 year old? ⋆Do you worry that your teenager will experiment with illegal drugs and/or sex? ⋆Does the sex-drenched media have you wondering how in the world to protect your pre-teen child? ⋆Did you know that drug addition, including alcohol abuse, is a self-inflicted disease? With some exceptions, almost every addict or alcoholic voluntarily injected or imbibed the substance for the first time. Many caring, devoted parents struggle with kids who have succumbed to today’s drug culture. None of us can afford to say, “It can’t happen to me.” It can, and it probably will in some form or other.

| | Daily Tip On Raising Drug Free Teenagers | | 2007-03-30 16:50:00 | | I feel most teenagers are going to experiment at some point in their lives. The best thing any of us parents can do is be ready to answer "any" questions they may have and be good examples to them and "NOT" be doing drugs ourselves! I realize alot of adults even in my generation still smoke marijuana and that is so so wrong when you have teenagers in the home. So, parents, WAKE UP, what is more important, "your" high or the example you want to make for your teenager?? | | By: Parenting Tricks For Teens | | |
| | Raising Healthy, Drug-Free Teenagers | | 2007-03-30 16:47:00 | | Parents and other family members have an enormous effect on the emotional health of teenagers. The teenage years are normally challenging even when kids are raised in well-adjusted, communicative families that foster honesty and a healthy self-esteem. Teenagers naturally struggle with issues of self-identity and rebellion, burgeoning sexuality, fluctuating hormones, and evolving brain function. The more educated parents are about what is happening to their teenagers, the easier it will be to handle any problems that may arise, particularly drug and alcohol abuse. For many kids, drug and alcohol use is a fact of life in their teen years. It is one of the ways they express their individuality, daring, curiosity, and rebellion. The most effective and most important skill parents can have to help their teenagers steer clear of drug and alcohol abuse is COMMUNICATION. In fact, lack of communication skills is the number one reason why teenagers initially turn to drugs and alcohol. If your fa | | By: Parenting Tricks For Teens | | |
| | Parents and Teenagers: Dressing for a Classy and Sophisticated Look. | | 2006-07-21 11:14:00 | | Parents and Teenagers: Dressing for a Classy and Sophisticated Look.When you look around in the world what do you see that you would like to modify or transform? I see a messed up pop culture filled up with teenage girls and women, walking around on the streets, in the stores, and even in church, half naked! I am, a mother of three home-schooled teenage sons, which makes me kind of embarrassed by these tense moments together when half dressed teenage girls and women walk by and smile flirtatiously at my sons, while their bellies and breasts hang out of their shirts.Below are some summer wear guidelines for dressing for a casual classy and sophisticated look when going out in public.1. Shorts and pants should not hang off your hips so when you bend over your butt crack shows.2. Shorts should not be any higher than two inches above the knee. If shorts are too short they tend to inch up, exposing too much thigh. It is classier to only show a little bit rather than bare all. 3. Shorts should not be so tight that it looks like they were painted on where you can see the outline of a girl’s pubic bone and panty lines. Ouch! That has got to be uncomfortable.4. Best summer attire for wearing out for the classy lady is kaki shorts one inch above the knee with a tailored short sleeved blouse.5. Summer dresses and skirts should never be so short that when you bend down, your backside is exposed, or when you sit down, the dress inches up to the top of your thigh. This is your cue that the dress is way too short.Shirts should fit the wearer properly.1. Shirts should come completely down to the waist over the shorts or tucked into the shorts so your belly is not hanging out.2. If you have bigger breasts than a size A, you should wear a bra. There is nothing more sloppy looking than breasts that are left to sag in tight fitting shirts.3. Bra straps should not show if you are wearing a sleeveless blouse.4. Blouse or shirt should not be so big that when you bend down, your cleavag | | By: Write Passion | | |
