We unfortunately live in a culture and society that does not provide too many wholesome and uplifting activities for our teens and youth to participate in. Is it any wonder why our teenagers are becoming more violent, idle and lazy, selfish and disrespectful, immoral and unethical, unhealthy and overweight, etc. when they are so bombarded and enticed by the never-ending influences of the media and entertainment around them?

Perhaps what is worse, it seems that our youth and teens...

To many, a year age difference doesn’t mean much. There isn’t much distinctness between a 12 and 13-years-old, just like there isn’t much of a contrast between a 21 and 22-years-old. Health insurance experts, however, disagree. A simple year in age can make the difference between someone having proper health insurance and someone going without any kind of medical coverage at all.

As well as age, an individual’s ethnic background plays a major role in...

Child models are very much in demand all across the world. Many magazines and online stores that sell products for children like their models young. For this reason, they seek out children who can model clothing and have no problem posing and smiling for the camera. Those who are seeking out child models for their advertising can go to online modeling sites and view pictures of children who are web models.

An official study predicts that around half of the population of US could be obese in the next 25 years. And this trait is slowly emerging in the rest of the world too. Young teenagers who are obese are about 25 percent more likely to have weight and health problems just like the adults have while for the older obese adolescents, that figure rises to nearly 80 percent. So, teenage obesity has really become a troublesome phenomenon today, globally.
Although there is genetic disorder...

Self-esteem and confidence can go a long way during your teenage years and beyond. The question is how can this be accomplished? The answer is many faceted and it starts with the family/teachers/roll models, as these are the areas that are most active in a child's life during the formative years. So this is where self-esteem gets its basis and roots for the teenager and beyond years.

Teen self-esteem is quite fragile; just having a feeling of being left out, or seeing...

Mom, the potheads that parked at the top of the parking lot when we were in high school are not parking there today. The potheads of today may be parking their cars closer to you than you think.

As a teenager growing up in a small town in Oregon in the fifties, I had no desire to finish high school. For one thing, my dad never finished. Also, my big ambition in life was to be a cartoonist, and I was, in fact, already selling some of my cartoons to small magazines. My hero, Walt Disney, had never finished high school, and I felt that if he could quit and succeed, so could I. But my mother would never hear of it, so reluctantly, I continued to go.

If you’re screaming on the inside (or on the outside come to think of it), pulling your hair out, summoning up all the patience you can, and using your reserves too, you are not alone in parenting a teenager. Teens can easily do this to you. Your once sweet, obedient, innocent little child has changed, almost overnight, into a bad-tempered, rude, disobedient and crude ‘being’. They seem to become separated from us, to ignore us, and to retreat into their own world.

As a student it can be very frustrating trying to get a decent paying job these days and it's even tougher for those in smaller towns and cities. But when you do ultimately find one you will usually finish up working dull hours on youth rates.
