I love swimming. During the hot summer months nothing is more refreshing than a swim. But swimming can be dangerous, as well. Most people know how to swim, and if you don't, you can learn, but there are a few things that should not be mixed with water. Alcohol and

It’s not really fair, but when you mention teens and gardening, people are likely to think of a mini-grow op. Or, if they’ve been following
the news, they may think of teens getting high on garden seeds. (Yes, some seeds, like the all too appropriately named Sleepy Grass and

This week the topic’s teen communication -- but this time, it’s about how teens communicate with the rest of us. Or don’t.
There’s a lot more to it than teens trying not to swear when there are little kids around (though that is appreciated, believe me). There’s so much that I’m

Respect is a very important aspect of life, especially growing up and becoming a teenager. Whether you are talking to someone your age, an elder, or someone younger than you, you should always grant that person respect, even if they have not given you a reason to deserve it. You

For background to this article, I talked to a high school senior who had recently flown on an international trip with a school band. You might think he’d bring back some horror stories -- or at least some funny stories -- that showed what teens should and shouldn't do while

The Galaxy S7 is one of the best Androids on the market. Right now, its only competition is its cousin, the Galaxy S7 Edge. With that sort of clout, everybody wants
Samsung’s latest and greatest, but not everyone can afford its hefty price tag. Depending on your carrier

Personally, I think no TV week is a fantastic idea. As a society we have become so caught up with technology, it tends to take over our lives. I have several friends that will stay up far later than they should on a school night because they are on their

Last summer, I got a call from the temp agency my son had signed up with -- they had just then realized he was under 18. That was okay, as long as I sent in a note saying he had my permission to work. But it goes to show that

While it is true that everyone procrastinates, it seems to be getting worse, especially within the teen society, I being no exception. I am currently writing this article past when it was due, and while I got an extension and cannot remember the last time I turned in an article

It may seem like there’s never a good time or place to talk to your teen -- but there are moments here and there. You can’t book them, so you have to watch out for them and use these moments when they come.
When are they likely to come? Here’s what

If you’re interested in studying abroad, you already know that international tuition fees can be huge. Add to that living expenses and work restrictions on a student visa, and you may be questioning your decision to leave Mexico for your MBA. It’s always worth the struggle to pursue your goals,
