Teenagers' Brains

Now, if I read this blurb when I was a teenager, I would have been deeply offended and mad. But having been out of my teenage years for awhile, I can see how "immature" I was (even as someone who was ahead of her years overall).

The truth of the matter is that teenagers are emotional and *still developing* as people, which includes their brains. This is why they still need parental guidance. Most importantly, this is why it could be dangerous to simply provide them with all the various "safer sex" options and then let them go wild. How can you make a "rational" decision, which could have life-long consequences when your ability to reason is not thoroughly formed?

Just food for thought.

Blog Anniversary/All Saints

Friends,

We started this feeble attempt at a blog exactly three years ago today. We had talked about it for awhile and then when I came up with this clever title for it (don't let Shannon tell you she thought it up), I knew we had to move quickly.

3 years and 170+ mostly forgettable entries later, we're still here, posting . . . well, sporadically at best.

Anyway, thanks for reading and not judging our wacky ideas too harshly!

Omnes Sancti et Sanctae Dei, orate pro nobis!
