Teen Corner: What is & What isn’t

What is & What isn'tNowadays people are concerned with the newest fads and what’s in and what’s out. Everybody wants to be “in” or cool. Nobody wants to be the “outsider” or the not cool one.

I say it’s better to be the different one than the ‘it’ person! If you are the same as everybody else, how does that make you cool? If you act and do the same things as everyone else you aren’t really unique. I prefer to be the one people can point out in the crowd. I like to be the person anybody can obliviously find.

I say: it’s better to be the spectacle rather than the “onlooker”. Sounds a bit odd I know, but trust me, it pays off to be recognizable. If you are the person that people always pay attention to, your bound to have more true friends than “friends” that are with you because you’re the cool guy. Why? Because what happens if you stopped keeping up the newest styles and the coolest hairdos? Would those friends you had then still be there? Think about it.

Unsupervised Swimming Dangers

All week  I have taken my kids swimming, on a daily basis. Today I want a break.

Sit at our local pool and you will see a handful of tweens, and teens coming to the pool without any supervision what so ever. Some of these kids can swim good, and some just okay. Of course, all “the other kids” can go to the pool without the supervision of an adult, so now my kids think it’s okay for them to go without me!

Here is a message I received from the bright one’s,  Renae, cell phone!

" Us if we stay home"
