  2. Tween/Teen Was CPS, the parents or the child wrong?...(more) 1-5-2013 3:58pm (0 replies)

SEX CONVERSATIONS ARE FOR ADULTS! MS. DOE-SMITH (SCHOOL TEACHER) IS AN ADULT AND MADE AN ADULT DECISION! YOU ARE A CHILD! I'M GONNA BE MONITORING YOU FOR 60 DAYS IF YOUR BEHAVIR DOESN'T STOP, WERE GOING TO HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS." They sat down with the parents at their table. While talking, they scolded the mother because the mother "encouraged" her daughter by telling her that in order to have sex, you need to eat healthy exercise and prepare your body. They told the parents that it was a mistake to put a computer in their daughter's bedroom and they should have put it in a common area so everybody can see the screen. The family has two computers.

    different sports with him in all different ways (individual, team, with me) since he was 3. Sometimes, he's wound up in tears due to frustration. I feel horrible . I've just been trying to find SOMETHING he's good at or enjoys.

        since it's so accepted . I mean everyone who meets him immediately asks him what sports he's into. I can see him shrink when people ask him that. I always thought there is a sport out there for everyone, but maybe not.

      Also, what does he do in his spare time on weekends, etc? That will give you some idea of his interests. A boy who plays computer games a lot might want to join a group where they are learning to make apps or something (depending on his level).

  7. Tween/Teen Quick Survey About Children's Apparel!...(more) 11-13-2012 6:28pm (1 reply)
    Hi, everyone!

    I'm a student at UC Berkeley and am doing a project for my Market Research class about children's outdoor apparel. I would really appreciate it if you could fill out this quick survey (<10 min) about your children's attitudes towards their clothing. This is for a real client, so your responses would be of great importance to us! We're specifically looking for mothers with children between the ages of 10-13, but additional data is still welcome. Your responses are anonymous and will stay strictly confidential. The link is provided below:

    http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/H2BFNF6

    Thank you so much for your time!

    -Veronica

  16. Tween/Teen This post has been disliked 4 times. showSave me Lord!...(more) 10-2-2012 10:48pm (14 replies)
    My son and daughter are 18 months apart. They are 14(son) and 13(daughter). They didn't spend much time with each other the last few years. But recently, they started getting friendly and spending time together. They started taking baths together again. I was really worried, and when I did my weekly check of my son's web history three weeks ago, I found something horrible. He was looking up 'Sibling incest vids +Short hair +Blond' My daughter has short, blond hair. I freaked out, then tried to calm myself down. I prayed to the lord for strength. The lord answered my plea, and sent me an idea. I would listen in on them while they were bathing together.

      When I finally pulled my courage together, I listened. They had just gotten in a minute or so before I started listening. There was a lot of splashing, but I firgured they might just be playing. But then... My daughter started making... noises. I don't want to remember. I think I might get the local priest over for an exorcism. Is that what I should do? My son is a good child, I know it!

    I am slowly coming to a terrible realization. my 16 y/o ds makes me anxious and unhappy. last year was a rough year for him emotionally; he had a lot of disappointments which caused emotional upheaval in our house culminating in a trip to the ER because he threatened to harm himself. he has been through therapy and is better now, but i find myself anxious around him. i feel like i have to watch what i say every second and that the leftover unhappiness from last year has changed me forever. so much easier to interact with my older son. DH travels alot and we have my elderly MIL in our home. I am alone with 16 y/o and MIL alot of the time and this is just not how I pictured my life. So unhappy and feeling guilty about all of it. Not much enthusiasm for the future. . .
