Teenagers Are Changing the World
Tuesday November 10, 2009
Revisiting guest author Susan Heim's article today. She formerly was the Senior Editor for the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and is an author. She has written about a wonderful experience her son has had and what you and your teen can learn from it. Talk about it and find local volunteer opportunities with your teen. Set a goal to become involved and use the volunteering as some one-on-one time with your teenager - you know how hard it is to get some of that - or do it as a family activity.

I read a really cool book that was similar to chicken soup, but I liked it much better. It had more real life advice and was written by two teenage brothers! it was called “Cool Stuff They Should Teach in School”. I think anyone who liked Chicken Soup should read it.
yes indeed teenagers are changing the world, Angus, my eldest son {the only good one, ha ha!} every monday tidies the church, tuesday helps at the shelter, wednesday teaches primary kids, thursday works at elderly home, friday at youth centre, saturday at christian centre, and on sunday helps with mass. This is all true, no matter how surprising it may sound, he is the most giving, generous person in the whole world. He sacrafices the time that he could make friends to socialise with others.
follow my son in his footsteps, i know none of you have children as good as my son, how could you? But at least your children can try to be even a third as good as my Angus, follow in my parenting skills, as arrogant as that may sound, it is true. I LOVE YOU ANGUS, IF YOU READ THIS – DONT LEAVE ME, PLEASE!!XXXXXlots of kisses, mumsiexxx
