	Teenagers today written by kimberly kirberger	Il y a 785 jours
	I cant count how many times people have uttered, while shaking their heads in obvious dissapointment, "I just don't know what is with teenagers today." The other day I was in my car on my way to the farmers market with my friend Jan when we passed two teens standing by the side of the road with a car wash sign. My car was filthy and my heart was full, so I pulled over. There were teenagers everywhere. There was a group directing the cars and another group spraying them down. As sponges were wiped over every square inch of my dirty car, I sat enjoying the little water battles and the many silent scenarios that were so obviously taking place. I couldn't help but wonder how many crushes, how many new friendships and how many little insecuritys were in the air on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. I was amazed at how forty to fifty teenagers had devoted their saturday to washing cars, and I was curious to what their motivation might be. At the end of the assembly line I handed them a twenty dollar bill and asked what they were raising money for. They explained to me that a friend of theirs, C.T Schmits, had recently died of cancer. He was only fifteen years old and six-feet-two. He had gone to school with allot of the teenagers who were there that day and each of them had memories of a boy sweeter than any they had known. His friend Kevin had decided to put this car wash together because he wanted to honor his friend and also bring together his classmates with his boy scout troop. He told me that they wanted to plant a tree in front of their school and if they raised enough money they would put a plaque there also. Both would be in memory of their friend C.T. They handed me a bag of homemade cookies with my reciept and we drove away. I asked Jan to read to me what the tag tied to the bag said. It said simply, "thanks for helping us plant a tree for C.T." Yeah! I dont know what is with teenagers today! kimberly kirberger

	Parenting teenagers	Il y a 799 jours
	Teenage parents and prejudist adults see teenagers in a unfair view. Even though adults have been through it themselves they are so often dont think, understand or care. In some cases, make the whole growing up process a whole load more, emotional and stressful. We need parents that stop to remember what it's like, listen to what we have to say and take us seriously. Because every one of us is special. A whole load of chemisty is going on inside that growing body, no wonder we feel unsure about ourselves. I think teenagers are great!

	Teenagers are looked down at. At an age where you’re neither adult of child, where as, you aren’t respected and given freedom as a grown-up nor having the loving attention from your childhood. Being a teenager is difficult, when hormones are concocting throughout, rapid emotions become difficult to deal with. We think teenagers deserve opportunities of an adult and need the loving care of a child. We believe in teenage welfare and rights.

	YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS	Il y a 832 jours
	At 13 you can open your own bank account. Under the age of 16 legally you must be in full time education but there are many options other than mainstream school, such as home education(by tutor or guardian), private school, and many schools that specify in different areas, if you are interested, I certainly suggest do some research, (feel free to ask questions.) In the uk at the age of 16 you become officialy resposible and have the right to make your own desitions. At the age of 16 also you can: *Claim social security benefits in their own right *Drink some alcohol with a meal in a pub (but not at the bar) *Get married (with parents' permission) *Join a trade union *Leave home to live independently. (Scottish law allows young people to leave home legally at sixteen years of age. In England and Wales sixteen year olds can leave home only with parental consent.) *Leave school *Take your driving test (if disabled) *The age of consent for legal sex (including homosexual consent in England, Scotland and Wales; age of consent for homosexual sex in Northern Ireland is 17.) *Work full-time The age of 17: *A person can drive a car and pilot an aeroplane The age of 18: *Leave home or marry without parental consent *Vote *Drink alcohol in a pub *Own a house or land *Sign contracts *Apply for loans and credit cards *Make a will *Do jury service *Donate blood or organs It is legal, and a parent cannot be charged, if she/or he smacks his/her child providing there is no marking or damage. But you have the right to protection anyhow and if you wish to talk to me feel free, and everything you say is confidential and i will not pass on unless informed by you to do so
