ZIA Teenagers Resources

There used to be a time when I had a full head of hair, and it was all light brown. Well, I’m over 40, the hair is thinning, and what remains is turning gray. The first two are biologically related, but my teenage daughter, I am convinced, causes the third.

Growing up today is a very tough job for kids. Peer pressures, increased technology, and scientific advances make life for them more intimidating than we parents found at a similar age. Mix in the state of society in general, and you have a recipe for tough times. But today’s web site should help your son/daughter make some sense out of life. It is called Teenagers Resources. The concept of the site is today make information available to the teens of today, in order to help them make informed choices in their life. It is a collection of sites and links on a wide variety of topics. But instead listing a URL, they are descriptive in nature. Some examples include: CityKids Online, Facts About Marijuana, New Teen Drivers, Online Girls Club, and the list just goes on.

So if you have a teenager living in your house, or know someone who does, point them in this direction. It is not going to replace parenting, but it has enough good content that it will spark some lively discussions around the dinner table.
