Is it remarkable for 2 teenagers to be together for over a year?

or is it just average? my boyfriend and i have been together for over a year (since beginning of Nov. '07) :)Is it remarkable for 2 teenagers to be together for over a year?
Yes, it means you two are mature and know how to work out your problems rather than just give up the second something goes wrong. Good luck and keep it up!Is it remarkable for 2 teenagers to be together for over a year?
I wouldn't exactly call it remarkable. Often times, high school relationships don't last as long as you'd like them to but I've been with my boyfriend for just about a year and a half and we just mesh together. Sometimes relationships just ';work'; and there isn't much to explain about it.
its pretty average. congrats though =]
Not amazing but better then most. nice job
NO!!:)


me and my boyfriend have been going out for 2 years and 6 months . and were only.. 14.
kinda
i think it's average. many people at my school have been dating each other since they were like in 8th grade? my sister first started dating her boyfriend when she was 13 and she is now 18. talk about a long teenage relationship!!





but i know what you mean. many teens in high school like date each other and then break up a week later and then go out again, and they keep doing that back and forth. i think its soo stupid.
no, some meet very young and end up getting married! xox
Yeah, all relationships are different. I was with my high school sweetheart for close to six years.
I've seen a guy in the 5th go with a girl in 6th and now their still together when he's in 7th and she's in 8th............maybe it's just them
Nope, quite normal! Congrats!!! ;)



na actually good job
Yes it's remarkable.


But still not enough to build s life over.
Average.


It becomes remarkable only if you are together a year after graduation.
My Husband %26amp; I met when I was 16. We dated for 10 years %26amp; got married 2 years ago.
Ive been with my girl 4 3 years since freshman yr.

How can i find any film auditions in the uk for teenagers?

film,movie productions,actingHow can i find any film auditions in the uk for teenagers?
Try this site.........


http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/knowledge/How can i find any film auditions in the uk for teenagers?
First you should get an agent because they will help you find auditions, and join drama clubs/groups, acting classes, youth theatres and if you can afford to go to one stage school, you need all the experience you can get, you should also get a coach to get better experience in acting even famous actors still have coaches. Second you should always be prepared to get knocked back because the casting crew will not always pick you for parts in films its like about 8/10 they will not pick you. Also acting is a hard acreer and about 1 in a 1000 people make it to become sucessful actors, so don't get your hopes up you may have no money and it could be ages before you get a part in a film again. Most importantly never give up hope if you really want something you can achieve it no matter what it is.


Try this site www.StarNow.co.uk it has auditions for acting, singing and modeling.





Hope This Helped, GOOD LUCK in being an actor.
Oh, there's loads of stuff you could do!! Join a drama school like Diamond School of Performing Arts. If you are in a drama school you will have access to auditions and that stuff. Also join www.starnow.co.uk


it's a good website if you are looking for film and theatre auditions! Plus, go on notapushymum.co.uk, they have the best auditions.

Well it helps if have an agent. If you join an acting/theatre group such as Jackie Palmers or Stage coach, they will offer you a space in their agency. There, you will be able to look at audions on their website.

As any one ever hurt you or done you harm be a partner ,friends ,bulling work ,mates or teenagers causing?

trouble and damaging you property.I have to put up with a lot of this over the last few years and they get away with because people do nnot care unless it happens to them and will not stick up for or help you .How do i deal with this problem and stop it happening to me its hard when you have know one to fight your cornerAs any one ever hurt you or done you harm be a partner ,friends ,bulling work ,mates or teenagers causing?
First I think you should get some evidence because they can't arrest (vandalism is a SERIOUS crime) a person without some evidence or backing. I sugest video taping it and then calling the police. (Not emergency services though)As any one ever hurt you or done you harm be a partner ,friends ,bulling work ,mates or teenagers causing?
Yes


I've had people being horrible to me for no reason


try and not let it phase you because that's what they want


ive always learnt that bullies are actually cowards and they do it to make themselves feel great


there insecure and jealous of something


and if its gangs vandalising your property, try and see if you can catch them on film so you can prosecute them


keep your chin up

This is the story of one of my high school friends.





His name was Alex and he had a friend named Dan who was sometimes bullied by this kid who was a douche bag. On the last day of school Alex walked up and delivered a devastating side-thrust kick to the guys head. The Kid fell down and didn't get up for a while. He never messed with Dan again.





This is a viable approach.
Call the Police every time when they do some bad thing.

Is it good that teenagers under 18 years of age are having sex?

Many teenagers do it and admit it and many do it but don't admit it because they're afraid that their reputation will be spoiled but it doesn't change the fact that many, if not, most underage teenagers are having sex these days. No one seems to worry about it as if it's something very normal and has no negative effects. What do you think about this?Is it good that teenagers under 18 years of age are having sex?
noooooooooooooooooooo. its very bad. they need to wait till they r marriedIs it good that teenagers under 18 years of age are having sex?
I don't see a problem with under 18. I do with under 16. Especially with every 13 year old girl dressing like a slut now a days. I lost my virginity at 13 years old. I don't regret it because it helped me lead to where I am now, though I do frown upon it for the younger generation.
I dont know if it does.


I know it must be normal for them to be at it, as the question is about stopping them not starting them.





That and it would be surprising if they failed to get sexual urges and feelings as their bodies began to create hormones and prepare themselves to be sexually active and creative. This hand in hand development is also known as puberty, no?





As for the possible negative effects I wonder what they are as compared to a road perhaps, both have the potential to kill aa person, both require that a person leaves their home and makes a certain amount of contact with other people. In fact anything we do as we live as humans has potential for negative to extreme negative consequences or results. The issue often falls down to that as such young people how can they have the experience to know how to handle things, well how else are they to gain experience of the world with out, erm,actively participating?





Try having some faith in your young people that they are learning and one way or the other will do well.





As for the matter that it is normal, well history should provide you with all the evidence that you need ... people do have a sexual aspect, and its been that way for centuries, they also develop a greater tendency to explore the more adult world around them when entering their 'teens', this too has been the same for a long time.





Look at all sides, not just the ones that appeal to you.
kids will always be curious about their bodies - fact of life... and some parents hope that telling them nothing means they won't do anything - until someone is pregnant or suffering with an STD!!! ;)





as long as they are protected, and they are aware of the consequences, then i see no problem...





and any problems experienced are on their heads and have to live with it... :D
I think that saying that no one worries about it is wrong. Of course we worry about it. I personally think that they should wait until they are 18 or older just because they don't yet know who they are yet %26amp; the chances are high that the boyfriend/girlfriend they have now is not really someone they want to lose it to.





However, despite how I feel it is not up to me. It is not my body they are using to have sex. Many of them will have sex regardless of how well they have been taught or how well they have been raised. In the end all we can do is just make sure that we instill values in our children, grandchildren, %26amp; nephews/nieces. We need to teach them that they need to use protection %26amp; that they need to choose their partners wisely, especially for their first time. Basically, we need to teach them to respect themselves enough that they won't give it up to the player (male or female) that cons them into their first time.
the problem is global, at 18 most are havig sex.Best they have a sexual education first. Best the teens be aware, than trying to prevent,something we cannot control.
Good for you for having an open communication with your kids. Keep it up.


Sex and relationships are usually difficult for adults and teens. You just have to keep supporting them.

Poll: is there more teenagers than adults in the world?

Just curious.Poll: is there more teenagers than adults in the world?
i believe theres more teens than adults.. a couple can produce a lot of kids which contributes to the teen population Poll: is there more teenagers than adults in the world?
The age range for being a teen is a mere 6 years (13-19), whereas I assume ';adult'; means anything from 20 older. The category lines here are drawn ridiculously in favor of adults, so I'm pretty sure they win this one.
Since teenagers occupy the age bracket between 10 %26amp; 19 and adults are everyone over 20, how can you even think there are more teenagers?
Think about it this way...the average lifespan is around 80 years old. So if an adult is from 18-80+ there are a lot more of us than there are teenagers.
I'd say theres maybe more babies in the world :P with loads being born every second :)
Hi Mohammed!





I'm an adult and I think there are a lot of adults like me :)
I'm not positive,but i think there's more adults.
no idea i think more of adults bcoz lots of teens are lyk murdered in london and stuff :o)
seems like it sometimes
probably, because teens are getting pregnant these days, but yeah..
No, it's more adults I'm sure. Baby boomers.
No
I think yeahh.
nopes. don't think so
yep
no



You mean ARE there. and I dont think so.

  • Do you think that teenagers can find true love in high school?

    I think that teenagers can find true love in high school, but it's very rare. I think that many teenagers think that they've found true love in high school and commit too early, then realize later in life that they aren't really right for each other.





    but I don't think it's like this for all teenagers in love. One of my best friends has been with her boyfriend for almost three years, and I truly believe that they were made for eack other, and will be together for the rest of their lives.





    So yes. I think it is possible for teenagers to find true love in high school, but I think most of the time they are just a little too immature to know what true love really is.Do you think that teenagers can find true love in high school?
    What do you mean by true love? I found love in high school, and it was every bit as much as real/true love as I have for my spouse. The real question is, is it possible to start a relationship that will last for years upon years in high school. And the answer is that it is possible, but very very rare. People change so much during and right after high school, that most people who fall in love at those ages dont stay with the same people.





    But I disagree with the ideal that true love equals marriage for life and happily ever after. True love means just that, love that is real and true. But things happen, life changes, and people grow. Just because you have true love doesnt mean you are destined or will be together forever.Do you think that teenagers can find true love in high school?
    yes...but i wouldnt bet a million dollars on it.





    i think ill wait till college to find someone to spend the rest of my life with. high school is supposed to be the best years of my life and i dont want to waste it on some girl.
    yes i found my first love at high school it is kind of sweet lol
    YES IT SUCKS.
    i think so


    they say 99% of highschool ';sweethearts'; wind up getting married
    find love, but not true love...

    Should most of the teenagers in the UK be locked up?

    Iam fed up with track suit junkies wondering the streets at all hours causing trouble.If we put them in prison at the age of 13 then the UK would be a better place.If you disagree i take it you live in the the middle of a the Highlands where no Sports World stores operate.Iam not aiming this at all teenagers but most seem to missing a thing called a brain.Should most of the teenagers in the UK be locked up?
    yes lock them all up,little chavs.Should most of the teenagers in the UK be locked up?
    Hmmmmmm. To some degree I can see what you are saying. The biggest problem is that all teens can branded and tarred with the same brush. The ones that are well behaved and have good respect for people are also the ones staying in doors or at friends and working on their homework and the such like as apose to causing problems on the streets, therefore they don't get seen and furthermore only the bad minority gets seen.





    Some do behave badly yes, but hasn't this always been the case? I refuse to believe that 10,20 or even 30 years ago that every child was saintly! I bet there were trends back then that represented gang style behaviour and that there were a minority of small groups or rebelling teens. The only difference with it now is that the media (because it is much stronger then in those days) reports it and therefore it is more exposed in society.





    I am not sticking up for them mind. I just think that to some degree there are a lot of people who over react when it comes to teenagers and jump on the band wagon of assuming they are all bad. Which you have stated that you do not think is the case.





    Personally I believe that rather then putting them in prisons a form of national service should be re-instated. This national service would NOT be enforced on all people though, as I believe that is unfair. In this instance I suggest that those who have been in trouble or are intentionally under achieving school etc should be made to go into national service. It would then create an incentive system for Children and teens to behave themselves and the such like. It may seem like scare tactics but perhaps it is this kind of new approach that is needed. ';You misbehave, you will have to do national service';. Simply put, it is a consequences to your actions system whereby youths would appreciate that everything they do leads to a consequence!
    No - lock up those who complain about them! They are the ones who have forgotten what it is like to be young!
    The brain that is missing is the parents. Goverment shouldn't get involved. Parents are too soft with children today and need to be firm and adult about parenting. They should have parenting classes instead of prenatial classes.
    You cant lock them for wearing tracksuits. How would you like to be locked up. However they do need to be educated on the effects of drug misuse and how it effects their immeadite and long term lives. They also need to be disiplined.. the way forward to disipline youngsters is bring back national service.





    Most of the time they are doing the bad stuff because their buddies are doing it, And therefore dont want to be called, Geeks, Softy, Loser and such as that if they dont join in.





    Dont forget that you were a Teenager once and that you probably would of wanted to fit in to your society just like they do.





    Alot of this falls down to Bad examples %26amp; unemployment aswell because when they see their parents sat at home doing nothing they think what hope have I got of getting a job?
    why dont we lock you up, that would be a good idea.
    Conscription
    No they should be sent to some sort of wildness boot camp and taut discipline the hard way plus to find out about them selves if you put them some where to learn and be educated in the right way it may work, kids don't like doing what they are told in a far away place they don't want to be. and it stops wasting tax payers money at the courts its got to be cheaper as well in the long run. the courts don't work for kids.
    i feel inclined to agree
    Our only consolation is the children which they raise will be even more trouble to them than they are to us.
    And I thought it was only our kids that were worthless.
    First things first - nice ID. Ghostbusters right?





    In all seriousness - I feel really sorry for most teenagers.





    There was sod all for me to do at their age - but these days - with the much faster pace of life - teenagers must be going out of their minds with boredom most of the time.





    What are they supposed to do ?





    Plus, the fact that they expect to be treated badly by adults - either out of fear or ignorance - only serves to reinforce their bad behaviour and attitudes creating a vicious cycle of suspicion and a breakdown in relations.





    Parents, teachers and community leaders need to accept some responsibility for teenagers behaviour if they are not being given guidence.
    I don't know about locking them up, will cost too much!





    However, for what it's worth, here's my thoughts:





    1) The Government needs to take a stronger stance than ';ASBOs'; - that's like a medal for scummers.





    2) Coppers ought to be able to give 'em a clip round the ear and drag 'em home to the parents instead of pandering to their every whim, like in the bad old days. We were scared of the old Bill when I was a kid. These days it's all ';human rights'; boll ocks.





    3) Counselling should be outlawed.





    4) So should therapy.





    5) National Service - COMPULSORY, NO EXCUSES for everybody, 2 years, boys and girls, starting the year they leave school, unless going to Uni/College in which case, it's deffered until they drop out or graduate. Needn't be just the military - schools, hospitals, that sort of thing - giving something to the community. That way, they might have a chance of developing into mature adults with a deep-seated sense of respect and some idea of how the world really works.








    Society in the UK has generally gone down the pan. It's depressing. Luckily for us the, the MP's here don't give a rat's ar$e about the people, more interested in slagging each other and selling out to the damn Yanks.





    When they colonise the Moon, I'm offski mate.....
    I'm sorry to say this but I do agree with you on this one. The way that most kids behave these days is deplorable and it should be stopped.
    yes i agree, need to learn some respect most of them
    look I'm teenager and no1 has complain about or my friends so no teenagers shouldn't get locked up well maybe some
    Ship them off to an island far-far away, because if you put them in prison it's going to be our taxes that probably gove them a nicer home than they would at their own house!


    Although don't get me wrong, there are lots of intelligent, polite teenagers that get ';overlooked'; (for want of a better word!) with all the fuss about ';chavs!';


    Oh and by the way, the Sports World bit made me laugh!
    We were all teenagers at one time.





    If your proposal had been put into practice when you were a teenager, would you have liked to be imprisoned ?





    It is the adult world that creates the teenage attitude with its angst. Have more tolerance with them.





    Of course the really unruly ones should be dealt with in a proper manner.
    Not where I come from.
    Country is overpopulated by 2nd and 3rd generation Chavs/scummers - call em what you like - but get rid of them!
    if they do that , then you are right
    I actually find this offensive. I'm a teacher of 11-16 year olds and I find that the majority of children are a pleasure to work with and talk to. Only a minority are a problem.
    I can only say that there seems to be a big problem,most of them don't have a brain,
    OBVIOUSLY AS MY 16 YEAR OLD'S USED MY YAHOO TO ASK QUESTION ABOUT 拢5 COIN WHICH WAS A PRESENT I NOW KNOW HOW SHE STAYED OUT LATE THE OTHER NITE
    Sumthin tells me u have had a bad day dude!
    They just need to be re-educated.
    i take offense to this. I am a teenager but me and my friends are not thugs who wander round the sreetes at night looking for trouble. And we live in liverpool, not the highlands.
    well, my son is a teenager and i'm happy to say...he has never been anywhere near a tracksuit, let alone sports world. chav parents breed chav kids...i'm proud to say...i'm not a chav...nor can i be....i'm canadian...being a chav is unique to british kids only...thank god.
    I 'wander' at their stupidity, too.
    Lock up those that are obviously causing trouble. Remeber you still do get innocent - albeit stupid- bystanders.





    I live in central london, so i know, trust me!
    You are almost right. Just change kids for kids fathers.

    Why do kids and teenagers wish they were adults?

    what are 5 reasons and examples why kids and teenagers wish they were older/adults?Why do kids and teenagers wish they were adults?
    It's because being grown up seems glamorous to kids. Adults do whatever they want, go wherever they want and get whatever they want without someone else's permission. But the kids don't see that there's a level of responsibility behind that freedom. Adults have to work hard and support themselves before even thinking of having fun.Why do kids and teenagers wish they were adults?
    5. Ability to have sexual intercourse without anyone catching you and telling your parents, all of a sudden you are in trouble.





    Example: Tom has sex with Mia in the basement because he does not want his mom and dad to know that he is having sex or even has a girlfriend





    4. More Choices, the ability to make a choice as to where you want to move to instead of just settle in one boring town for the rest of your life or just one city. Some can describe it as freedom.





    Example: Sarah is 16 yrs old and lives in Boringsville, Alabama. Sarah wants to live in Miami, but she cannot because she is only 16 and does not have a good paying job/career yet. Sarah wishes she was an adult.





    3. No more high school. Yes for some reason teenagers think that high school is a pain and cannot wait until they graduate. Most teenagers want to live the good life and make a lot of money but they cannot do that because they have to take the SAT and keep up a certain GPA. Teenagers think that when they become adults they will not have the high school drama.





    Example: Mallory goes to Gossiptowns High School. Mallory is a good person and she gets A's and B's on her report card. Exams are coming up and Mallory is taking AP Classes. Mallory is stressed and feels like she is backed up into the corner and cannot get out. To make matters worse, Alexa is gossiping about Mallory and spreading lies about her. Mallory has the gossip and the hard classes to deal with, Mallory wishes high school was over with and that she was an adult.





    2. Career. Yes we teens are all tired of being simple high school students judged on grades and going to the same building over and over again throughout the whole year with the exception of a 2 1/2 month break. Teens want to be able to do a job they like and get paid for it, teens do not want to be stuck up on books.





    Example : Jerry watches Monday Night Football, but Jerry has to go to sleep early since he has school tomorrow. Jerry wishes he could stay up late and be somewhere outside of his house or outside of the city/town he lives in.





    1. Money - the one thing that makes the world go round. Teenagers wish they could have that new Benz or that new house but they do not have the money for it. The main thing that makes teenagers wish they were adults, and no, a job at chick fila and the money you make there does not cut it.





    Example: I can think up of millions, but I am sure you know what I am talking about.
    I think they see adults as the ones with the money, making the decisions, having the power,


    being able to drive, and can't think of another one.
    They think it means ';freedom'; because it seems adults get to do whatever they want. They don't realize that adults rarely get to have fun when they have to work....and they don't realize all the responsiblity that comes with it.





    That is the only reason to me.
    lol, i don't!!!!!!!!!

    Hi again: ok most teens that get Hodgkin's is most of the time


    the non Hodgkin's type for some reason but the older you seem


    to get the opposite is most likely. I don't know why but that is


    the way it seems to be.





    Do you have non Hodgkin's and is this why your scarred?

    Doesn't anybody like to read about normal teenagers anymore?

    I mean books that are written truthfully about the way teenagers behave, talk, and act when adults aren't around. Kind of like those movies Cruel Intentions, or American Pie. Basically, not sugar coated and unrealistic behavior that's just not true.Doesn't anybody like to read about normal teenagers anymore?
    are you trying to say cruel intentions and american pie ARE the way teenagers act? right. those are as unrealistic as everything else. try Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.Doesn't anybody like to read about normal teenagers anymore?
    Those kind of behavior are not normal nor realistic. And that's not really suited for teenagers.
    What about Catcher in the rye? now THAT'S literature and how a teenager actually behaves





    I would rather die than living in a world were people actually behaves like American Pie characters
    So , you think ';American Pie '; is about normal teenagers...well , that's your problem...
    If those movies were books, I would rather gouge my eyes out then read them. You call that good literature? If you want real behavior get out and find some bratty teenagers. Go in the teen lit section of the bookstore and you'll find a whole bunch of books with spoiled girls and loads of foul talk. Frankly, I would rather read about some bizarre fantasy (if it kept me interested and had good plot) than real life, annoying, rude teenagers because I read to go into a different world, not one I can expose myself to if I wanted to.
    Well, not to seem cruel towards the idea... but it's been done to death. Just the fact that you can name multiple major Hollywood films that encapsulate this idea shows that it's played out. There are books about teenage behavior... but they're written for that particular audience and may not seem realistic.
    try reading chernowitz by fran arrick. it's about how ppl pick on this kid cuz he's Jewish and its a real story and its perfect for teens
    I think that a lot of people read books in order to exercise their imagination and may thus want a more fictional book in order to picture themselves in that situation. Another reason, that I think is very prominent, is that many of the books with teenager characters are written by adults who think they are writing truthfully but in reality are exaggerating stereotypes. The average teenager would probably not be the most interesting protagonist. 5 days a week going to school does not move the plot very far.

    Would you recommend the television show ';Oz'; to teenagers?

    Because I would. ';Oz'; to me is the greatest show of all-time and very appealling in a sense that once you watch one episode, you can't stop watching. I got into it when I was 17 and still watch it today. If you can handle the things the show brings (violence, sex, drugs) as a 13-14 year old you'll love the show.Would you recommend the television show ';Oz'; to teenagers?
    Yes, follow the role models.Would you recommend the television show ';Oz'; to teenagers?
    I watched the series years ago but must say I think it is too raw for most people and especially for people 13 as you suggest. It involves human degradation in every episode.





    I heard a story about an actor who was in the show and was walking down the street when a woman came up to him and told him she loved ';Oz,'; and he said, ';Lady, if you LOVE the show, you must be sick.';

    Why do teenagers always think they know it all?

    ..and think they can get away with it?Why do teenagers always think they know it all?
    Mental confidence sort of spikes in teenage years. By biological standards, teenagers are adults. This developmental stage is as normal as toilet training or learning language, except that the learning is in thinking for oneself. Independence is a necessary thing to gain, and the first step to doing that is forming convictions, na茂ve as they may be, and sticking to them without considering other viewpoints.Why do teenagers always think they know it all?
    because they do..lol
    It's hormones. They think of themselves as adults now. As children, being adult means you can do what you want and what you like.
    The same reason their parents think they do......it is simple for any given age most know about as much as their minds can handle for their age. Hope it helps. I have 2 boys on verge of teenhood.....I have plenty of that to look forward to. Take care, and remember you too were a teenager. LOL Good luck %26amp; God Bless!
    lol, because they aren't smart enough to know they dont.





    reality eventually sets in
    Realistically, they are at the cross roads of their experience (ever increasing) and their mental facility (which starts to decrease in late-teendom).





    They ARE more mentally agile than their parents. They just aren't cycnical enough yet.





    In any case, if they didn't know it all, they couldn't seperate themselves from their parents and begin their own lives. It would always seem better to stay with their parents (who house and feed them).





    Ultimately, society depends on kids developing at least some independence streak.
    The Truth is, Everyone at Every age knows it all, or at least all they know at any given time in their life. Hence; saying that a person thinks he knows it all is factual in the sense that their knowledge is constrained by time. One second later, an hour later or years later, they will know it all the more and will have gotten through life only to find they understood more when they knew less. Getting away with it, depends on where they take It...





    It's All Relative Kids :) Ask Einstein?


    What's My Point? Ah, a Point in Every Direction is the same as No Point At All...
    admit it. you thought the same way when you are a teenager.





    its the age where you think you know everything that is going on. You are dating a guy/girl that you think is perfect. You parents tell you otherwise. But your at the age where you dont listen. Thats just the way it is.





    I grew up differently though. I was raised to know that my parents have gone through these things and to maybe listen to them.





    When I was a teenager I thought my parents were close minded selfish, not every good parents.








    And what do you know? I was right!
    well if they get away with it once then they think they can do it all the time.


    When I was in high school, the first time I ever sneak out I was freaked out but once I got away with it, then I thought every time I could.


    Same goes for one time they are asked a question and they know the answers.....
    I have a 17 year old step-son and this is his mentality to a tee! I cannot stand it! It gets under my skin to the 10th degree. Noone i's answer is most likely the best answer. They're too damn dumb and stubborn to know other wise.
    don't they
    because they think so. they havent had enough experience yet to learn that - maybe they dont know all there is to know. everyone thinks they know everything til they realize that theres always more to know. ya never stop learning. and theyll learn that soon enough
    maybe they really do!
    Think back. You were a teen once too and probably thought the same. I know I did!!
    Teens always think they know everything until they get older, then they find out all the stuff they don't know. Tell them you have lived longer and learned more than them, and when they are your age then they will know everything!!!
    They think they do- They should start paying their bills or move out while the KNOW everything!!
    I think they are hormonal and trying to form their own identities. It's natural for them to want to have seperate ideas than their parents. It's nature preparing them for life, to be independent. It's a tough balancing act for parents though.
    It is sheer ignorance of knowledge in the world. And the belief that they can get away with it is arrogance born out of ignorance.
    OK why do older people always assume that teenager think they know everything??

    What impact does the mass media have on teenagers development?

    Tremendous if you consider all their questions on Yahoo. Britney Spears and Paris Hilton's comings and going and whatever is on the cover at the supermarket checkout stand is news to them and they can't seem to get enough of it.





    Thumbs up for that question.What impact does the mass media have on teenagers development?
    The mass media should be ashamed for oversexualizing young kids. By the time they are teens, they go through absolute meltdowns. The media needs to cool it.

    How can teenagers lose weight?

    Same way as the rest of the population. Eat healthy and do plenty of exercise.How can teenagers lose weight?
    If a teenager is chronically overweight (50 lbs %26lt; lbs) they can try the Rice Diet. The Rice diet grants at least 20-25 lbs of weight loss the first month if strictly followed. It is basically a detox of all salts %26lt; 60mg and natural foods ( veges, fruits, wheat, rice etc.). Oh and ya exercise. We call this a Life Style Change.





    On the other hand If a teenager needs to lose a couple of pounds (5-30) or become healthier, you can do a modified vegetarian diet or Rice diet. This consists of eating more salads, vegetables, cutting out red meat ( such as steak), and pork( such as bacon and sausage) and instead eating just chicken and and fish.





    Hey you can still have your bacon and sausage, just try switching to turkey bacon or turkey sausage or a turkey burger or vege.





    Also try cutting out greasy foods, fried foods and salty foods will help, and eating less bread. Oh and exercising regularly is key. Whether it is walking 30 minutes/twice a day or doing a 10- 15 minute work out before breakfast and after dinner or before dinner. Mainly twice a day. Try taking the stairs instead of an elevator, and make simple changes.





    Also the key is to eat a good breakfast in the morning and a good lunch in the noon and have a few small snacks in between for a calorie restriction diet. For dinner eat lighter. A Salad and maybe a piece of grilled/ baked fish or chicken will do.





    DON'T think of this as a DIET think of it as a Life Style Change. Oh and you don't always have to eat healthily, you can have one unhealthy meal one day of the week. An example is maybe a pizza with a lot vegetables. Oh and the key to losing weight and maintaining is to drink A LOT OF WATER. Your urine should look like lemonade, not apple juice.

    _Good LUCK _ ;-)How can teenagers lose weight?
    Get a membership at a local gym, and go there to workout whenever you have time. I've been going since summer started and I am definitely replacing body fat with lean muscle. Try running on a treadmill or elyptical for 30 mins, then work on legs, arms, or abs (alternate every time you go).





    MAJOR CARDIO TIP!!! When you are doing cardio, like running, changing your speed every so often burns fat and calories WAY faster than just keeping a steady speed. Alternate between jogging, sprinting, and fast-walking throughout your workout.





    But you also have to have a healthy diet, too. A good rule that I go by is: Eat what you want, when you want, but ONLY if you're hungry. If you aren't hungry and start snacking, you're just putting extra unneeded calories, fat, and all that other stuff in your body. Since you're not hungry, your body doesn't have anything to do with it and will just store it on your body, causing you to gain weight.


    Just try to make healthy choices... like yogurt, fruit, etc. when you're hungry inbetween meals.
    Diet and exercise. That's really all there is to it.





    I used to be heavily overweight.. over the course of the summer, I watched what I ate, jogged every morning for 45 minutes, and skipped rope every night for 45 minutes.





    Of course you have to build it up, during the first couple of days, I was only able to jog for about 6 or 7 minutes before I felt like puking and giving up... but know that each day gets easier and better. In a week or two, you'll start feeling physically good and then mentally, it gets easier.
    Well no teenager should be on a diet seen as though you are still growing,


    But a healthy diet and plenty of exercises should be a lifestyle thing.


    Hope this helps
    easy as 123! First start exercising. Then watch what you eat.No junk food only healthy food allowed. Do some physical activities like running jogging stuff like thatIm sure youll see a difference.
    Try having heavy breakfast and normal lunch than skip your dinner .


    If there is really an urge to eat at dinner time , try eating fruits or granola bars instead .
    Like any other person, eating right and exercise.
    Same way everyone else does, Improve your diet and exercise more. There is no secret to it.
    eat healthier drinking more water helps me fight cravings sometimes and go on walks it helps me
    EXCERCISE.
    daily exersize and eating good food. 3 meals a day plus snacks... but good snacks! like apples and such :)
    The same way everyone else does... diet and exercise!
    A good diet and lots of excerise.

    Don't let them eat all that crap..sweets, pizza's hamburgers...A healthy diet and a good wash...bit of sunshine and a dip in the ocean...stuff like that...How can teenagers protect their precious skin before being attacked by pimples and acne?
    be clean and always wipe your sweat and take a bath
    http://www.acne.org
    Have a look here.
    The most important thing to maintain your skin healthy and with a glow is to use natural products, products formulated without mineral oil, this will clog your pores and they will cause breakouts, also use products formulatted without animal products because our skin does not absorb these and you are not using the nutrients these products contain. Mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing for the health of your skin, it is like rubbing car oil on your skin and exposing yourself to the sun. I use botanically based products and I buy it through the internet from a company well known....you could start with these products https://secure.myarbonne.com/arbonne/arb鈥?/a> it is from their basic line and is great for starting a good regimen. If you already have acne maybe you could start with these : https://secure.myarbonne.com/arbonne/arb鈥?/a>





    Also remember that bathing daily cleanses the skin, but it also can dry it out, causing it to look dull, but most importantly, it may cause irritation and remove the natural emolients your body produces to keep it healthy. When you bathe, always use a moisture-rich cleanser, and always pamper your skin with a daily moisturizer.

    Which decade had the most pissed off rebellious teenagers in your opinon?

    btw, which country are you?





    what happened to them after they had their little tantrum??





    why and how so you think?





    Thanks for your answers!





    p.s. can you remember the popular songs of their decade?Which decade had the most pissed off rebellious teenagers in your opinon?
    usa, the 70's :-)Which decade had the most pissed off rebellious teenagers in your opinon?
    I live in the UK and I think it's normal and natural for teens to be rebels- to challenge authority, question the values of their elders, experiment, etc etc. Looking back, I recall the Punks and skinheads seeming pretty angry, whereas my own youth era, the 60's, was quite bland for most of us, in spite of our funny clothes and our love of marches; I went to chat up lads, not because I was scared of the world blowin up !!!
    Each decade had it`s youth sub cultures,but looking back to the 50s I would say the 1970s in the UK,the rise of Punk Rock,Football violence, student riots, union clashes,,although there is comparatively more violence around today the undercurrent of political and social rumblings spread across the whole of the youth sections,,
    I think that teens now are. Never have we had teens shooting others like we have now. You never know where or when you are safe. In the past, they might have a fist fight or something like that. Now life means nothing to so many. USA.
    I am in The United States of America and I think the sixties had the most rebellious teenagers.


    I don't know the popular songs of that decade because I was not even born yet.
    They all were. It is not confined to a specific decade.

    Is Curves a good gym for college-age teenagers and is it affordable?

    I guess it depends on how fit you are to begin with. If you are out of shape, yes, it would be a good ';starter'; gym. I wasn't fond of it. I enjoyed going to the college rec center, taking classes, and working out there.Is Curves a good gym for college-age teenagers and is it affordable?
    Curves may be a good starting point if you are way out of shape, obese, health problems that would would prevent a more aggressive workout. Never a place for me. My mom tried it very briefly and didn't like it (apparently the one she went to was full of snobs that act like the popular girls in high school). I'd say if you are in at least halfway decent shape, go to an actual gym, some place you can get a decent amount of cardio and some weight lifting in.





    BTW...I go to a ladies only gym and it costs me about $8 a month...granted, they begged me to re-up when my 3-year membership was up and that's how...by such a low rate, was previously paying $20 a month.Is Curves a good gym for college-age teenagers and is it affordable?
    My wife uses Curves and loves it. After the initial enrollment fee, it costs about $39 a month. You can then use any Curves in any location. She says it is a good workout and people of many different ages use it. I guess the person becoming a member would have to be committed to going on a regular basis.
    curves is more for older aged women
    I am a former member of Curves and I discovered that for weight loss, Curves workouts should be combined with either the Curves diet or weight watchers. Without a diet, the Curves workout is mainly muscle building. My friend and I quit our memberships because we were building too much muscle; she also sustained an injury because she was not used to working those muscles. However, the environment is structured and much friendlier than traditional gymns. They offer incentives such as prizes and game days. Membership fees are pretty competitive ($30-40/mo. in Georgia) although may vary by location and payment method. Please evaluate your personal needs before making a decision.
    That depend on your current level of physical conditioning? I would suggest that you also check out some gyms that offer more intense workouts before making any decision on Curves. Being in my late 50's a number of my wife's friends do Curves. It gives what they are looking for in a workout and also without the guys around...
    The YMCA is good and affordable because they can subsidize your membershio to your income.And they have all the latest equipment.
    Curves is very expensive. Any physical activity a person does is good. I would make sure that your child is willing to commit to the whole year because they will make you sign a contract and you will be obligated to the whole yr.
    I loved Curves, If fact iam renewing my membership next week. I am 21 and last year I was weighing about 135 (iam 5'6';) , one month at curves I lost 6 lbs and 14 1/2 inches. It is wonderful. I really enjoyed it. In my town, it is $30.00 per month. Ask to see if you can have a trial session to see if you like it. It isn't for everyone, but I LOVE IT!!!

    Can teenagers collect maternity leave?

    hi there im wondering if anyone knows if teens in canada with the required amount of hours can collect maternity leave? ive searched the internet and cant really find any anwsers.Can teenagers collect maternity leave?
    Im sure if your job offers maternity leave then it doesnt matter what age you are.. but collecting from lets say the parental insuarnce plan, in my case i needed to have made 2000$ in last year and i am eligiable for a maximum length of 50 weeks with 70% of what i made every 2 weeks, a week.Can teenagers collect maternity leave?
    I wouldn't think that you can't. As long as you were working full-time and had full-benefits you should be able to still get those benefits no matter your age.
    I think you can collect maternity leave when you work.
    Yes,if you have the required weeks and you are full time.Do you have benefits at work?

    Why do u think parents should buy teenagers cell phones???

    I don't.Why do u think parents should buy teenagers cell phones???
    That depends entirely on the teen. I think it is good for kids to have a responsibility. My daughter has a cell. She is 11. It isn’t fancy, because kids can be rough on things. It is very handy for me. I know I can trust her to obey phone rules. She is very stingy with her minutes. She is not allowed to give out the number without permission. Whenever possible, she makes her social calls with the house phone. However, she has a bad habit of arriving home late from playing out in the ‘hood with her friends. It is not purposeful disobedience. She just gets distracted and forgets to look at a clock. So, I call her home with the phone when curfew creeps near. The phone keeps her from being late and getting scolded. She also takes it with her on out of town trips, to friend’s houses etc. Once it came in very handy when I was unable to pick her up on time, but was able to call and tell the adults she was with that I was sending a friend to do the pick up. It is also with her so that she can dial 911 if the need arises. We’ve used it to call her friends and invite them out with us while we’re already on the road. It is fun and it gives her a chance to exercise good judgment and feel mature.


    EDIT: We've had alot of harsh weather here, complete with flash floods and tornados. So when my daughter gets dropped off at a class, I want her to be able to reach me if class gets canceled or something.Why do u think parents should buy teenagers cell phones???
    My 16 year old has one, for two reasons. I want him to keep in touch with his friends, and I want to be able to contact him when he is out.
    *communicate with friends


    *emergencies


    *communicate with parents


    *handy tool


    *access e-mail


    *LOTS MORE!!! be creative
    They shouldn't. They have no need for them. They want one tell them to get a damn job and buy one themselves.
    The only times a parent should bear responsibility for buying a teenager a cell phone would be for things like:


    -teen is in sports and it's the most assured way of being able to reach each other


    -teen is out a lot


    -parent just feels better knowing the teen has a phone for emergency purposes





    If a teen wants a phone for music, texting, chatting with friends, etc., it should be the teen's responsibility, imho. If the teen already has a phone for parental reasons, then s/he should pitch in to pay for minutes, texting, etc.
    As we intend to homeschool, the only real reason for our son to have one would be emergency contact. In that case, we would buy one that allows only INCOMING calls from our numbers (since we'd pay for that phone).





    If he simply wanted one, I'd feel he needed to get a pre-paid phone and pay for the upkeep from his allowance or job.





    I grew up without a cellphone, don't have one now, and get by just fine. A cellphone is a nicety, not a necessity.
    I'll be buying my son a cell phone when he's old enough to be out without adult supervision, or when he's old enough to be at sports/drama practice, etc. without his dad or me. (Right now he's 10.) Once he's alone for large periods of time, we want him to be able to contact us when he needs to.





    However, he already knows that if he chooses to use it irresponsibly (texting, chatting with his friends till all hours, etc.) that he'll be paying the bill. He has too much respect for his bank account to do that :-)
    The orginal reason I got a cell phone was because in middle school I used to stay after school for different programs, and if I needed to get in touch with my mom to let her know I was staying, something got cancelled, or something ended early.


    Even though I'm homeschooled now I still use it if I'm at a youth group event and need my parents to pick me up or if out without my parents and they need to get in touch with me.





    So, basically to answer the question parents should buy teenagers cell phones if there is a constant need to get in touch with their teenager because for some reason they aren't with them. (There were too many pronouns in that sentence)
    i think its an excellent idea when they start to go out for long periods of time with out an adult. eg. when they go to parties. so i say when there about 15-17? of course they'll abuse it at some stage. but i suppose thats how they have to learn.
    i bought one for my 13 yo because i wanted him to be free to get around and still have backup if he needs something.
    I don't think they should. My parents didn't buy me one I had to pay for it myself. However in this day and age I probably would if I had kids so they could have something to use in an emergency. You never know anymore.
    - emergency situations


    - helps parents communicate better with their son or daughter


    - helps parents keep track of their child and make sure they are safe and where they suppose to be


    =]
    Our reason was to communicate with him. (smile)


    It comes in handy when practice is extended or cut short.


    It comes in handy when he gets an opportunity to go out during the day and needs permission to leave the house while we are at work.


    We can keep in contact when he is out and about with his friends.


    We are a blended family and he can go with his ';real dad'; anytime and a phone helps us keep up with him.


    His cell phone has kept our life a bit less uncomplicated.
    It all depends on their circumstances.





    In some places, there isn't a lot of reception and it might not be worthwhile. Some families can't afford it easily or at all. Some teens may have no need or desire for a cell phone.





    I have no objections to anyone buying cell phones for their kids. The parents likely know their own needs and situation well enough to make that decision on their own.





    My daughter babysat a 7 year old with a cell phone. It worked for the family.





    :D





    EDIT: Oops, I missed the why, thought it was merely do.





    Why is because they want to be able to keep in touch with their kids wherever they are. And maybe the kids want to keep in touch with friends and family wherever they are.

    Help I need a free clinic for teenagers in az?

    i just need to get checked out to make sure that I don't have anything serious, but i don't want to worry my parents in case its nothingHelp I need a free clinic for teenagers in az?
    If it's bothersome enough to need a doctor, then it;s something you should talk to your parents about. Is your problem diabetes or sex related?





    Most free clinics are run by the city, county, or state. Have you looked in a phone book?

    Can teenagers get birth control in Florida?

    yesCan teenagers get birth control in Florida?
    I don't see why not?


    there are sevral reasons to get birth control besides just birth control.


    Acne, gets rid of (or lessens) painful cramps, lightens your period, can make it shorter, and it makes your cycle more regular.


    those reasons alone are all great reasons to be put on BC.


    So why Florida would be different from any other state, I don't see why it would be.


    Talk to your doctor to find out for sure though

    Do teenagers start smoking because of peer pressure?

    Or are they just led ashtray.Do teenagers start smoking because of peer pressure?
    GROANDo teenagers start smoking because of peer pressure?
    that and boredom
    that is well gay
    I smoke have no idea why I started except it was neither of your reasons.
    if their friends are doing it, it's because they don't want to be left out (so yes, peer pressure) and if they start the trend then it's to look cool.
    yeah and as well as curiosity. Personally I think it's disgusting never tried it, never will.
    peer pressure
    they think theyre cool and that it sets them apart...
    monkey see, monkey do
    They see their parents or siblings smoke.
    I believe so, or from television, curiousity, and experimentation....


    don't try it if you are a teen, its highly addictive..as if you havent heard this before, or seen the outcome of smokers.


    take care.
    hehe - i think they just want to try it coz they are curious.i did when i was younger and then realised how gross it was.
    i think it really depends on the strengh of character of the child.
    I'm sure growing up with second hand smoke will prompt a kid to smoke too. My mom chain smoked like a chimney, and naturally we all gave it a whirl.





    But I did manage to quit six years ago. Now I can't stand it at all. I do think kids smoke to look cool though. I really like the ones that just pull smoke into their mouths and puff it out to give the appearance of coolness.
    I don't think many people realize you're telling a joke. I liked it though.
    pessure to be cool.
    Sometimes. I'm a teen, I did smoke, but I kicked the habit. I did it just to defy my parents because I feel as if they are ruling my life. My friend started pot because her father is abusive, and she wanted to numb her life. Some or the people I know that smoke are type-A personalities, and they just like to calm down. Most teens in my school don't do it just because 'its cool', they do it because 'high class' people expect them to. Or because or they want to rebell %26amp; they found a vent in smoking. Or they want to numb their life and get a little peace.
    lol I don't know if the ashtray was a joke for a stray but whatever. liked it.





    I think there's an extreme amount of peer pressure on teenagers. They want to be cool so they'll smoke. I remember when I switched high schools a few years back for senior year I smoked so I could meet people. Once I met people I quit. that's the thing with me I can quit things just as fast as I start them. I'm lucky that way.





    Teens aren't told at home what's right and wrong and even if they are teens have their own minds.





    My dad caught me with a cigg in hand once- it wasn't even mine. I was holding it for my friend while she answered her cell phone. My dad called me a disappointment. That hurt so bad.





    So between peer pressure, lack of facts of the damage smoking can do, parents not getting through to the kids or even talking to them for that matter and the media having teens smoking in movies, shows and the celebrities well I'm not even going to go there. There are a lot of reasons teens smoke. To ease stress for a big exam, to perk up in the morning, etc etc.





    I however don't like smoking and I think I was very stupid to have smoked as a teenager even though it only lasted a few weeks.
    they do it because they are dis-satified with there own lives and they think i they start to smoke then they with be cool and everyone with like then, the truth i that that it really just damages there health.
    I know it was peer pressure for me to start smoking, I guess its mainly that which gets teenagers started still
    I did't start coz i was pressured it was coz i was curious about it, think parents and other adults make more of an impression on kids then they think!
    In some cases it's just curiosity, it does not necessarily mean they will become smokers. Led ashtray, I like that.
    I think smoking starts at home.If the parents smoke the kids pick it up.All though some do smoke because of peer pressure.
    nope not really alot just do it because there friends do it
    Peer pressure and also curiousity and the influence of media telling them it's cool
    well of course!
    999% of the time..... yes!
    Some do....but in my case, my Dad smoked, and we lived in a mobile home, (very confined) and I loved the smell of it. It made me want one.





    Its been 23 yrs and I still smoke. BUT, Hubby and I have marked a day. We're going to quit. I dont mean try....I mean QUIT. We're tired of being slaves to this garbage.





    To the teenagers out there....Dont ever start.*
    I was 11 when I started, I don't know why teenagers do it though.

  • If teenagers got to vote, what would the US look like?

    I worry about the effects of hormones, and our media centered/image centered culture (amongst other things).If teenagers got to vote, what would the US look like?
    Not much would change, because even if teens could vote legally, most wouldn't.If teenagers got to vote, what would the US look like?
    Probably just the same.
    The country would be ALOT better then how Mr.Bush is running it!
    It couldnt be worse then it is now.
    exactly the same, teenagers are so easily swayed and apathetic that you would never get a real good vote out of them, not like you can with those aging baby boomers
    Well I'm a teen myself, and most teenagers


    have NO IDEA what the gov. is doing,


    sorry to brag, but I have a lot more knowledge


    than my mother, so you see the point.


    Even if we could vote, most kids probably wouldn't because they would know no one running.


    I'd vote, and actually vote for who I think was right, not who's name I thought was the coolest.
    A bunch of hippies playing music no one can understand.
    party ville!
    alot more funner!


    =D
    One big mall where A%26amp;F, Hollister and AE stores are all free!!!! OH YEAH!





    Ok, really now!


    I think we would have less wars because teens arn't focused on that kind of thing, they might be more influenced by ads rather than their party, because they haven't really established what party they belong to. We may have a bit more of a looks problem because some teens are very into that. Depending if the minimum age of the president and other officials is lowered, laws that are really important to the welfare of out country may not be passed due to the ignorance of a younger person.We may have more celebs run for offices because they know that they would have the teenage vote, and win. I myself am a teen, however, I probably would not vote like this, I would really try to think about what I my parents and others older than me think because I want what will be best for our country because our kids will feel the effect eventually! This is just going off what other teens I know may go for!
    Just as screwed up and hopeless as it is now.





    Actually, maybe not. I know allot of kids who have the guts to stand up and protest against today's government. We adults leave our morals behind when voting and follow blindly. We'd rather put a crappy man in office twice just to avoid the other guy. We vote for one party, because we don't want the other party to win. Not because we want the one party in. It's a shame that is politics.
    I dunno, but Justin Timberlake may be in office.
    I agree with you, if teens could vote then Brad Pitt would probably be President ! ! Because there are way more kids than adults
    I thin kthat this country would be far more chaotic
    I agree with you 100%.
    no comment ...lol
    OMG like Pete Wentz would so TOTALLY be PrEziDeNT!


    and then we could stop doing like stupid things like iraq





    jk idk lol
    It would look like an amusement park!
    your mom!
    if teenagers got to vote, the president would be a celebrity or a hobo lol
    You're aloud to vote at 18, so the country would look vary much like it does now. I believe that if you're planning to vote, get as much information about all the candidates as possible, before you make you decision, you want to be an informed voter, not a blind party follower.
    The US would be more like the same it is now
