The overwhelming majority of perpetrators are teens and young adults. We need to start with young people in public and private schools.

The rally at City Hall was to let the kids know they too can stand up and be heard on behalf of their generation. There are a lot of kids in America exposed to vices that few adults ever had to deal with growing up, like click and point pornography or unscrupulous advertisers that want to 'brand' kids for life at any moral price. Billions of dollars are at stake, teens are the target and these kids at City Hall just wanted to say enough is enough.

We look at this from the standpoint that the more parental involvement the better because too many teens end up driving in risky situations, even with graduated driving laws in many states.

John Fahey, thought during his lifetime to be possibly more than a little crazy, was the author of some thirty albums of gnomically introverted droning guitar instrumentals, which I listened to heavily in my teens and twenties; I even produced an hour or so of banjo music in an imitative John Fahey style.

I think that just like with many other things in our society, certain things are much more acceptable now than they were five, 10 years ago or longer. I know a lot of pregnant teens who have had no problems staying in the regular school environment, trying to maintain their regular schedule as long as they could.

I well remember how sure I was of myself when I was in my teens. I'm not critical of teens today.

I watch a lot of teen TV and read a lot of YA novels. I also talk to teens whenever I can. There are cultural differences between when I was a teen and now, but emotions - anger, angst, love - are the same.

I think they should just shut them all down, because where they have stuff set up for teenagers kids and teens to talk on, it's just a setup for people who want to commit crimes against children,

Parents have to help teens understand that they're comparing themselves to an image that isn't real.

Parents get mobile phones for their teens because they want to communicate in case of an emergency, and wireless carriers have made it easy to add users to their existing plans. Wireless carriers have been very successful in getting parents to expand their plans to include their teens, but between free phones and shared minutes, it's not the most lucrative proposition for carriers.

Our study findings clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the game in improving health-related outcomes for these kids ? it's great news. Re-Mission gives teens and young adults a sense of power and control over their cancer.

Re-Mission works. It gives teens and young adults a sense of power and control over their cancer. Research on Re-Mission was conducted in much the same way research into a new drug is conducted, with rigorous testing based on scientific principles. Our study findings clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the game in improving health-related outcomes for these kids. It's great news.

Regardless of what the state law says, parents should not allow their teen to ride with other teen drivers, nor should they be allowed to transport other teens in the first year of driving. It's tempting to be lured by the convenience of having other options for getting kids to and from school and practices, but the risks are just too great.

Parents who understand the risks recognize that it is important to keep teens from riding with other teens, even if it means playing 'chauffer' for one more year.

Our organization hears from thousands of teens and young adults each year who are desperate for information and resources beyond the one-sided 'born-gay' message that saturates our culture.

Some of the things on there were pretty frightening. It's that secret life of teens that we don't know about.

Some of our kids are literally sleep-walking through life, with some potentially serious consequences. As clinicians and researchers, we know more now than ever about the biological and behavioral issues that prevent kids from getting enough sleep. But the National Sleep Foundation did something powerful: They asked teens themselves about their sleep. The results are startling and should be a wake-up call to any parent or pediatrician.

My teens and 20s were spent lying on sheets of tinfoil in the weak English sun, covered in baby oil. In Greece and France I would burn, then turn a dark brown.

My mum was no pushy parent. She would drop me off for auditions when I was in my teens at the Lyric Theatre, then give me my bus fare and say she would see me later at home. She wasn't hanging around in the wings geeing me on. I had to do it on my own; it was up to me.

Native American teens in South Dakota are showing their support for the pro-life movement by participating in this year's National Pro-life T- shirt Day. As we prepare to kick off this year's event on April 25, American Life League joins with the youth of South Dakota to speak out about the horrors of abortion.

Looking at national studies, one of the key issues in accidents involving teens was being distracted. One of the primary causes of distraction were other teens in the car.

We'll always be changing what we're offering, especially for the seniors. They don't want to be playing the video games. Whatever seniors want, whatever teens want, we want to be on the edge of that.

Most of our kids are aged between 6 and 12, and just need a bit of encouragement to turn reading into an enjoyable activity. We don't need our teens to be in the Academic stream at high school, or to be intellectual over-achievers. They simply need to know how to read, and enjoy being with a younger kid for an hour a week. The time they put in counts towards the Community Service hours they need in order to graduate, so it's a classic win-win situation for any teen who enjoys reading and who's prepared to help a younger child.

We have one of the lowest rates for abortion in general. People here live their values. The teens we're concerned about are the teens where communication is not good in the family.

We in the over-30 range tend to turn to e-mail as a first choice. Teens do use e-mail, but they use it strategically. There are certain things they think e-mail is useful for and certain things that they don't.

We need to figure out how we can reach out to our young people. I am very open to looking at proposals to change the driving age. I am also probably even more interested in looking at opportunities to make driving safer for teens. I think that teens often get distracted. I am very interested in the proposals about limiting cell phone use.

There will be free refreshments, music and free Healthy Teens backpacks for youth who register for services at the Healthy Teens Community Care Center.

Have you noticed how many people who walk in the shade curse the Sun?

We are grateful to News Corporation for their generous commitment of donated advertising time and space to this important campaign. Their support in media frequented by our target audience will go a long way to getting this important message out to teens and their parents.

In my view, it'll really pull it all together. It will be a great steppingstone for the future.

Tobacco use is the single leading cause of preventable death. The vast majority of all adult tobacco users became addicted as teens. If we don?t work to prevent teens from using tobacco, we risk losing thousands of lives and spending more and more money treating tobacco-related illnesses.

There are a lot of things that parents can do to help teens get better sleep. One is to get rid of the computer, get rid of the Internet, get rid of the television.

It's also important to keep a regular schedule on weekdays and weekends, allowing for at least 9 hours in bed at night.

We've had several cases of young people in their late teens and early 20s with schizophrenia. It's amazing to be able to diagnose and treat that here.

What's going on with these technologies that are relatively complex is that teens have a bit more spare time than adults do, and they have more opportunities to play with technology. That's what they're doing: They're playing with it. It's a toy. When you play with something, you take it apart, you look inside it, you turn it around. ... I think adults are less likely to do that. They just want it to work.

We try very hard to accommodate schedules for our pregnant teens by providing them shortened schedules also allowing for early graduation also, if necessary. We're trying to do everything we can to still make sure the kids receive the education they want to receive and yet we're respectful of their situation.

We?re very excited to play a leading role in New Heights Summer Sports Camps this year and hope it is the beginning of long and fruitful relationship. The approach New Heights takes towards its sports camps gets to the heart of athletics. Participating in sports teaches you about teamwork and can help you grow as an individual. I believe that by sharing their own experiences and relating to the kids on a personal level, our own coaches and players may get as much out of this experience as the teens will.

Book sales and teens reading is always a fantastic thing, but we should also be celebrating and consuming the huge wealth of U.K. and U.K.-based writing and illustrating talent.

Even teens are less interested in going to the mall.

Be vigilant about restricting your children from riding with a first-year teen driver. It's tempting to have different options for getting kids and teens to and from school, a job, sports practices and other events, but the risks are high. Parents who understand the risks should be more willing to personally drive children until teens obtain their full licenses or have gained enough driving experience to make them feel comfortable with transporting others.

E-mail has faced its challengers -- viruses, spam, regulations -- and emerged with its reputation bruised, but intact. Except among teens and young adults and inside certain fast-paced work environments, e-mail is staying ahead of instant messaging in terms of usage.

Every year we have between 40 and 80 cases, with about three of these clusters. No one really knows why, nor does anyone really know why this virus attacked this age group (of young people in their late teens or early 20s).

The surge in men's apparel sales came from some of the most unexpected places, such as young men buying a suit. Teens and young adult men have finally 'discovered the suit.'

We are seeing a shift in the younger generation reaching their image through grooming and dressing up.

The Space 2 Studio is an environment for teens to be comfortable in. They can continue with a work in progress or try out a new medium.

Teens don't want to be different, so they won't tell their peers. They know that they will not understand.

Teens are passionate, questioning, curious, have a bit of the idealism I still cling to, and they're making decisions for the first time that can alter the course of their lives - and sometimes, the course of the world.
