Got A Teen? Get A Clue!
Best of Both Worlds Az is introducing a “Teens” category dedicated to the special issues of raising a teenager. “Teens” will be a sub-catagory, of Family Affairs.
* Categories are found left side of page.
Teenagers have always had a language of their own, using slang words that leave parents clueless. Concerns about drugs, alcohol and sex are also nothing new, however today’s teenagers are much more tech savvy than their parents. Social networking and the development of cell phones with cameras and internet capabilities have changed the world of parenting. If a parent is to stand a chance raising a teen, they need to be “clued in” to the world of a teenager.
It truly does take a village to raise a child. This is a great opportunity for parents (and grandparent) to comment, ask questions, share advice and get informed. I encourage sharing these topics with any parent of a teen or tween.

Teenage boys are hard for any Mother understand or talk to than anyone else on the planet. So don’t feel that you’ve done anything to turn them into this guy who wants to argues with anything you say. You need to stop being the Mom and be the Boss or they will run all over you. Most of you need to snoop and make sure they are not into something that you don’t know about. I was surprised by what I found under the bed.
l hear you. My cousin is now being parented, by his grandpop & grandmom.(My aunt & uncle) l’ve been trying to, “one up them” to the things he will do.(mainly because he confides in me) l just don’t want to see him become another teenage statistic. They now know to keep there medicines, locked up in a cabinet, with a padlock.
He had developed bronchitis, then was trying for a hospital stay.(by
candy dipping joints in the codeine syrup the doc gave them, to help him sleep) Sadly he is almost my size at 16(I’m 6’4″ he’s 6’2″) and says he freaked when my uncle put a hand on his tee shirt, while yelling at him, and pushed back hard enough to cause my uncle to fly back several feet, then down the steps backwards.
(braking his hand)luckily that and a small concussion was it.
It could have been much worse. Now l have to be his backup, as the
only heavyweight in the family, but I’ll do it, happy or not
