Happy Birthday Bridget

So today, my daughter enters that "magical stage" in which she is now called a teenager. A time where both a cultural/social phenomenon are part of the human development phase.

As parents we begin to teach our children to move the focus away from that ever constant draw by businesses. They target this generation with the lure of mobile phones, movies, television, teen magazines, video games and clothes. It is an extremely hard period but well worth the end effort when our children become involved in movements for positive social change around the world.

Adolescents participating in these movements may perhaps start with community service, youth activism, student activism, and other efforts to make the youth voice heard.

May your road to wisdom, knowledge and the pursuit to happiness have few bumps Bea.
