Summer Shopping Sprees: Friend or Foe?

by Sam P. July 18th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
Before I even start debating against myself, I will say that this article is most certainly aimed towards the majority of  female adolescents.

Almost every teenage girl loves to shop.  And specifically with her friends, and no adults.  And why not?  You get new clothes, new shoes, new makeup, and

Rating Systems: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. July 9th, 2012| Teen Perspective
First of all, I would like to apologize for lying.  I didn't get the talk I  was expecting about the responsibilities of driving, so I will not be able to write the second part of that "My Expectations."  The only rules I got were about gas money, and they

Long Car Rides

by Sam P. July 4th, 2012| Teen Perspective
In a large family, flying places gets quite expensive, and quickly too.  Because of that, my family tends to drive everywhere.  Sure, always driving is boring and slow, not to mention cramped.  But almost always it is much more financially intelligent, especially with six people in our family, because

My Expectations

by Jacob P. June 25th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
So, at some point this week (I am writing this on Wednesday the 20th), I will be going to get my driver's license.  I have everything; I'm ready to go and I think I will do just fine.  So, I have been thinking about the rules that I expect

Teen’s Perspective on Family Birthday Parties

by Sam P. June 19th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
On Sunday, I went to my four-year-old cousin's birthday party.  And when I got home I started thinking about how when I was his age I had two birthday parties, one with my friends and one with my family.  His was a combined one, with friends and family, and

Scheduling: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. June 13th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
For those who don't know, I am very anal (cue giggling).   In other words, I am organized and get  slightly bothered when things aren't.  Although it isn't as bad as clinical Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, it's similar.  This means that I tend to organize myself, but I am also a

Art: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. May 30th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
This weekend, I went to the Andres Institute of Art in Brookline, New Hampshire.  The institute is actually Bear Mountain, which artist Paul Andres owns.  The mountain has artwork (mainly sculptures and metal-art) located all over it, which can be accessed via hiking trails.  Although I am not

Dress Shopping

by Sam P. May 25th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
I am in eighth grade so I have a graduation in a few weeks before I go to high school.  This occasion also has a dance, and it is a semi-formal/formal event.  Because of this I had to go dress shopping.  So, I figured I should probably write an

Happy Belated Mother’s Day!

by Jacob P. May 14th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
I know that it is the day after Mother's Day, but I figured it was better late than never to post an article about Mother's Day.  Also, if you are this far behind the eight ball, maybe this can help you save face.

As a teenager, Mother's Day is one

Packing for an Overnight School Vacation

by Sam P. May 7th, 2012| Teen Perspective
If your school does any big vacations for certain grades that include sleeping over somewhere, you need to pack an overnight bag.  For some unorganized people, it may seem like a daunting task.  And that is why I am here to help you.  I am an OCDish neat freak,

What to Do While Lodging: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. April 30th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
Last week, my family and I went on a vacation to Maryland.  It was a successful trip; we visited Philadelphia, Baltimore's inner harbor, Loyola (Md), and family during our time there.  The trip was five days long, so we spent four nights together (two nights in a house and

Teen’s Perspective on Middle School Drama

by Sam P. April 24th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
Middle school will probably end up being some of the worst years of your life because everybody is going through puberty, so girls are extra emotional and guys are getting acne.  (Well, actually everyone gets acne.)  Normally when you think about eighth grade, you think of a bunch of
