I want to let everyone know about a great website for teens called Hey Josh, by a great entertaining youth leader Josh Ship. Read all about it at:
Hey Josh - Advice, entertainment and community website for teens
It is also great for parents of teens to keep up with what is going on with them.

Hi everyone. I write a blog very relevant to the topic of this group. It is called "Connect with your teens through Pop Culture and Technology". I'm looking forward to discussions here.

I was a teen not so long ago. I have seen a lot and can now look back and see everything my mom has ever said to me and really understand it. I have always had a great relationship with my mom, i just wanted to do what i wanted to do. But i really believe its who you hang out. I see that now. Just like my mom always told me. I had always said i am strong enough to do what i want and know right from wrong. But if i never put myself in those situations then i would not have anything to worry about.

Mine aren't really issues. My daughter is 14. We are super close. Lately she's become more reclusive to her room (I guess that's a normal teen thing, I did that as well). If I'm in her space too much she lets me know...when I back off and give more attention to my 7 year old son all of the sudden I love him more than I love her (according to her).
I'm involved in her interests and support anything she wants to become interested in (theater mostly). She's not of the sporty type which really throws me because that's what my life as a teen was all about. She's more of an intellect, book addict, life studier. She loves to write. So I am adapting myself to things she likes.

I just want her to be able to confide in me...I feel she vents in her stories (which are at times a tad dark) and I feel the need to do....something to get in touch more with her.

We go out shopping or to a movie, just her and I, to attain more bonding time. I am constantly striking up conversation just to get in her world for a while and see what's up. I don't know.

Ya think I'm just dealing with typical teenage actions or am I missing something here?
