Stealthy Teen Texting

Fact of Life

by The Editors, Register correspondent Sunday, Nov 01, 2009 11:59 PM Comment

The survey found that 45% of teens admit to sending inappropriate stuff, while 78% of moms and dads believe their child has never done anything of the kind. “Parents need to educate themselves about what is going on in their teen’s world,” said Family Circle’s health director, “as teens are much more likely to listen if you talk to them about [modern life] in an open and honest way.”
