Hi Teens:
As a teen, you naturally want more independence from your parents and the freedom to go places you want and do things you like.
Since your parents are responsible for you until you are on your own, part of their job is to decide whether or not they feel comfortable when you do certain things like staying out later, going to parties, and being with people they dont know. At times, you may not think you have any choices at all. As a result, you may feel frustrated and angry.
You do, however, have more choices than you think you have. We would like to show you a different perspective on your options.
Did you know that every day:
*You can choose what you wear, what you say, and how you behave.
*You can choose your friends.
*You can choose how much you allow others to influence you.
*You can choose how to treat yourself.
*You can choose how to treat others.
*You can choose how you respond
if bad things happen.
*You can choose your values.
*You can choose your dreams.
*You can choose whether you will pursue your dreams.
All of these choices are based on the single...
