I am going to list some warning signs that you should take notice of in your teen. I would like you to respond and tell me what you think the warning signs are warning a parent of teenager is happening to them. When you list what you think these things are warnings for, please list why you think so and any references you got your information from (ie, doctor, Oprah, book, magazines, news etc.) After people have had time to respond, I will post a new blog with the answer.
