Welcome to Grits n Greens, a safe, open forum for teens and young adults who want
advice on how to make it through the tough "gritty" grains of life. We don't judge!
Instead, we listen and offer “recipes for life” whether social, family-oriented,
emotional, health-related, or educational.

Question

Graphic Design asked: Wow. Like Malcolm X, this is right on time! What is your view on privacy for our young teens? Should parents have the passwords to the Twitter, FB, MySpace, cell phones etc. Should they be monitoring FB pages and do they have the right to ask that something be taken down (such as "inappropriate" photos)?

Welcome

This is Trish, and welcome to Grits n Greens. What is Grits n Greens you ask? This forum is designed to help young adults through the tough "gritty" parts of life with wisdom and sound advice. I am a single mother of three beautiful children, two of which are teenagers. I had to realize that the issues and circumstances surrounding their "growing pains" may be similar in core to what I experienced growing up; however, the innovation of today's world is not! The field is TOTALLY different, and I had to open my mind beyond what I learned and experienced as a child. Communicating is different, media and news is different, technology is different, and language is different. My goal with this forum is to mix old school values with new school thought to create your own personal recipe for life!

If you have something insightful to share with young people today, please join this forum and help enrich, inspire and develop today's youth! If you need advice, allow us to instill within you the ingredients needed for your own special "recipe" and begin enjoying the process of maturing.
