Teens Unedited: Answers to All Your Questions
A huge thank you to all of you who submitted questions for Friday's Teens Unedited event and an Emmy Award for the brave teens who showed up to give candid answers to all your questions. I had an amazing time talking with these young people, and they really got into it. I think we talked for more than an hour about everything from dating and sex to fitting in at school, the influence of pop culture, and beyond. You guys submitted some GREAT questions!
With the teens' permission, I've made the entire, unedited conversation available to download as an MP3 audio file--I've even tossed in the full transcript (30 pages!) as a PDF document for those of you who prefer reading. Either way, enjoy. You can access the content by clicking the "Teens Unedited" tab at the top of the page. I hope you truly benefit from hearing teens' perspective on these issues, in their words, straight from them. I'd love to hear your feedback.

P.S. If this event was helpful to you, let me know and I'll see what I can do about scheduling more of these Q&A forums in the future. Personally, I'd love an excuse to do this again! : )

What about teens and drugs? I have a teen in trouble, i’ve tried counseling prozac drug rehab home schooling…... it’s like trying to dig out of an avalanche with a teaspoon. Our other kids are hurting too. We thought we had a close knit family, what else is left to do?
