Some people may think that your local library is worthless, but it isn't. There are so many amazing things in libraries!

The staff at libraries are very

A Look at a Teenage Paradox (Me)

by Jacob P. May 20th, 2011| Teen Perspective, Teens, Tweens
Tell me about about yourself, Jacob.

Well, you see, I'm a paradox.  Maybe even an oxymoron.

May I ask how that is so?

You may.

Don't be a smart alack.

Okay, fine.  I'm an anal-retentive teenage boy.  So I'm naturally a lazy procrastinator, due to my age, but I am also a perfectionist.

Teen Perspective: “Finish your plate.”

by Louise May 13th, 2011| Teen Perspective, Teens
"Finish your plate." This is a phrase that was commonly heard at the dinner table when I was back at home. There are two reasons that this command was said: 1. My sisters and I had served ourselves too much and were feeling too full to eat the rest.

Birthdays: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. May 4th, 2011| Teen Perspective
This past Saturday, I turned fifteen years old.  Now that I have aged another year, I am just  bit more educated in the world.  But I'm not here to talk about what I know, I'm here to talk about birthdays.   Birthdays are important, but everyone has their own opinions

Different Hairstyles: From A Teen’s Perspective

by Sam P. April 28th, 2011| Teen Perspective
I just recently got a very big haircut.  I was a little nervous at first, but I talked to my mom and my step-dad and they encouraged me to get it cut.  They said that you only live once and that hair will grow back.  I am very glad

Those “Help!” Moments

by Jacob P. April 20th, 2011| Teen Perspective
As I have mentioned in many other articles, I babysit as a way to earn money to do the things I do.  In several years of babysitting, nothing bad has happened while watching the kids.  Last weekend, while watching my cousins, one of them vomited during the night.  So,

Kid’s Sports: Teen Perspective

by Louise April 14th, 2011| Teen Perspective
I was recently reminiscing about the sports I was involved in as a younger kid. I only realized how many there were after formally writing out the list: dance (tap and ballet), soccer, gymnastics, running, skiing, swimming, basketball, softball, and volleyball. It may sound like I was all over

Travel by Airplane: Teen’s Perspective

by Jacob P. April 6th, 2011| Teen Perspective
As I type this, I am sitting in terminal B at Baltimore-Washington Airport in Maryland, waiting to fly back to the lovely, frigid state of New Hampshire.  We (my family) are finishing up a whirlwind trip to visit my step-siblings and to visit Loyola University in Baltimore.  At Loyola,

Shopping While Being Small: From A Teen’s Perspective

by Sam P. March 28th, 2011| Teen Perspective

I find it very frustrating when I walk by a store like Aeropostale or Abercrombie & Fitch and see an adorable pair of shorts or jeans in the window, go in and try them on, and they don't fit.  I, being one of the smaller girls in

Room Setup: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. March 21st, 2011| Teen Perspective, Teens
This weekend, I got a new piece of furniture for my room.  Specifically, I got a beanbag roughly the size of a bed made by lovesac.  This got me thinking about how hard it is to set up a teenager's room.

I don't know about you, but I am

Teen Perspective: On Getting a Dog

by Louise March 16th, 2011| Teen Perspective
"Can we get a puppy?" It's a question parents often get asked by their kids. My guess is that this question, when asked for the first time, is answered with a no. Honestly, this makes sense, at least at first. The first problem with the question was the way

Sleep: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. March 9th, 2011| Teen Perspective
Everyone knows that teenagers like to sleep.  And we do. But sleep is important for all kids.  Every kid wants to deny that they are tired and that they want a later bed time, but where is the line?

I am not a major sleeper; I never sleep past 8
