Fear of SIDS. Autism. Learning disabilities. Anxiety is a constant throughout every phase of parenting. Worries about sickness and freak accidents dominate parents’ lives when their kiddies are tiny. But come the teen years, your child’s behavior can and will introduce a whole new set of nail biters. Vicki Iovine, author of the Girlfriends’ Guides series, weighs in on what causes her the most angst in her upcoming book Girlfriends’ Guide To Teenagers:
At 15, Florida teen Slader Pich is probably old enough to stay home alone during the day. But that didn’t stop trouble from finding him.
The teen was home sick from school when he heard knocking on the front door. In typical teen fashion, he ignored it. When the banging continued, he reached for his cell to call his parents, when suddenly he heard someone running up the stairs.
Lauri Price, a 42 year old Houston mom remains in custody on Wednesday, accused of flying to Canada to have a sexual encounter with a 16 year old boy with whom she had an online relationship for about a year.

I’ve always thought that the Scholastic Book Fairs were pretty cool. They make kids’ books available at extremely affordable prices in a very convenient and even fun way. I imagine lots of kids have books because of Scholastic that wouldn’t have them otherwise. The company is also good to teachers, offering liberal bonuses to let teachers get books for their classrooms cheaply. Now, however, my opinion of the company is in jeopardy of changing significantly for the worse.
Remember Jonathan Escobar, the teen boy who was asked to dress more manly or be homeschooled? A few commenters wondered what would happen if roles were reversed: If Jonathan was a girl trying to dress like a boy, would school officials still have a problem with it?
In Wesson, Mississippi, the answer to that question is yes.
