Teenagers

One of my longest-running jobs in high school was at Wendy's, and I really hated work. Now that I'm older, I found out that I didn't have to be trapped behind the window register at Wendy's and I could have done any of these instead.

Living with a teenage girl has been an experience to say the least.  Recently, I've noticed that when her and her friends talk, it's like I'm listening to a foreign film.  Does anyone else think that teenagers have their own language and it means something totally different that what we think it means...

As a mother of two teenagers, I've considered myself pretty lucky that they have been pretty easy to raise for the most part.

To steal a line from the singer Martina McBride, we're just mothers with teenage daughters.

First I'd like to tip my hat to the parents whose kids get good grades because they study hard and who do their chores when asked. Unfortunately not all kids are that well behaved. Some pay their parents lip service to doing homework, cleaning their rooms etc. then logon to YouTube or text with their friends. Meanwhile others are openly defiant.

Last Friday police in North Providence, Rhode Island were called by a woman who had spotted a group of teenagers damaging her mailbox. The cops quickly located the yellow sports car which had been at the crime scene and apprehended the suspects.

On today's show (07/09/2012) The Flakes discussed a survey that analyses teenager behavior. One of the stats shows that 53% of teenagers talked on their cellphones while driving. This national study is what lead to their One Line Monday.
