Ugh. Absolutely awful. There's some funny moments, but the overall messages (your life is not complete without a baby, etc.) made me want to spork my eyes out. I think young women should be ...

There IS some language and violence, but a good show still...
Crichton uses words like "a**" and "hell" and the occasional "d***". However, it's relatively tame language and most of the words are made up, such as frell. it's a great and original series, and ...

Perfect House alternative for younger viewers
I don't understand the negative points for this. It's similar to House in many ways, but it's a bit more accessible for non-medical professionals as it takes place on the beach or in houses rather ...

A good show for responsible teens and tweens.
There is a lot of drinking, smoking, bikini-clad women, and some violence and swearing. However, I think it's a good show over all. The characters *do* break some laws (such as stealing cars and ...

Depends on the teen...
Most teens should be able to handle this movie. It's quite funny and I think overall it has a good message. However, it has an unhappy ending and there is some sexual content. Chances are the ...

Web site: The Midwest Teen Sex Show
I rate this titleiffyand give itGreat Information
Even though I was raised in a very strict Christian household, as a medical professional I see that abstinence only sex ed is becoming more and more useless. MWTSS is a funny and informative show ...
DVD: The Dark Knight

Watch it first!
It was good, but very violent and intense. My boyfriend watched it first and was able to fast forward through the worst scenes (including a scene in which Batman has to kill dogs), so I was less ...
DVD: The Incredibles
I rate this titleonand give itGood, but a bit dark.
I really enjoyed it, but it WAS much darker than Finding Nemo or Monster's Inc. Ideal for the action lover or superhero fan, or anyone over the 6-8 range. Wish they'd made a sequel.
DVD: Zathura: A Space Adventure

Terrifying.
I watched this when I was in my mid teens, I think, and it still terrifies me to this day! Would not recommend it for anyone easily scared, especially by space adventures. This may be a spoiler, ...
DVD: Monsters vs. Aliens
I rate this titleonand give itIntense, but much better than anticipated!
Saw it with an eight-year-old; it was intense and she was scared at parts, but I think overall she did great with it. Absolutely loved the female power thing, and on the other side of the coin I ...
DVD: Shoot 'Em Up
I rate this titleonand give itSilly but enjoyable.
It was an interesting movie, despite having a lacking plot and way over the top action and sex. Still, it was a good date movie and we both laughed most of the way through it. My boyfriend and I ...

Should You "Friend" Your Kids on Facebook?
Your Comments:I have my mom, dad, step-mom, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmother, future inlaws, and 3 of my 5 younger siblings on my facebook. (I'm 20) It's a really great way to stay in touch, especially with old friends from middle school. Living away at college really makes it hard to stay in touch with my family, but through facebook I can wake up and within five minutes see my mom's pictures of my little brothers, a video my grandmother took of my cousin's birthday party, and the status of numerous people in my family! We can also play games together, instant message, and create groups and events. For my graduation yesterday, I created a facebook group and invited my family and my parents' friends. I was able to mass email everyone with information and directions, and people could write on the wall and RSVP yes, no, or maybe. I'm very close to my mom and family, especially because she had me right after she turned 18. However, not all families are close like that. If you don't have a great relationship with your kids, adding them on facebook is probably just going to make them nervous. But do keep in mind that many if not most of their peers will already have their parents on their facebook. It's incredibly common these days.

Is Texting Taking Over Your Teen?
Your Comments:I'm 20 and have had a pay-as-you-go phone since I was 15 or 16. Since I'm the one paying for new minutes and texts, I am more cautious about how many I send. Perhaps parents who are having issues with their kids texting too much could set them on something like Tmobile prepaid and barter more minutes for good grades, chores, and respectful attitudes. It's easy to do, just call the number and put in your credit card number when asked. I have an auditory processing disorder (like dyslexia of the ears) and texting allows me to get in touch with people while out without wasting extra minutes asking my friends to repeat themselves until I understand them. Combine CAPD with lots of background noise and the stress of being separated and it can be impossible to understand my friends at times. I do use my phone to call people occasionally, and it's good for getting in touch with my doctors, but nearly everyone I'm in touch with either has CAPD also (especially my mom!) or else hates talking on the phone. I think it's very judgemental for parents to say that teens should be talking on the phone rather than texting. I think most people prefer face-to-face contact, but many young people have physical, cognitive, and/or emotional limitations regarding talking on the phone. Your generation may have a preference for talking on the phone, but it's nice to respect our generation's preferences, especially when it's something as minute as texting vs. talking on the phone. Besides, I'd rather listen to quiet tapping then some teenage girl saying "OH EM GEE, THE JONAS BROTHERS TWILIGHT BOBBY FROM HOMEROOM MR. ANDREWS ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH..." =P And for the record, I have never used anything but proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalisation in my research papers. It seems that the issue people SHOULD address (rather than attacking texting as some people here have) is teens texting at inappropriate times, running over limits, and using text language in inappropriate places like papers. I can definitely see how those things might be a real issue and wish parents and teachers the best of luck in dealing with those things.
