Beware of new teen trend: hugging!

Here is an interesting article that was in the New York Times this morning :http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/28/style/28hugs.html?em

It talks about how hugs have become popular with teens. I find this kind of funny and kind of sad at the same time. It is crazy how different generations view things like this. Some people may think that this is a major problem in schools and they blame it on MTV. I think that it is healthy for people to have appropriate physical contact with others, but maybe I am just a crazy person. I think that there are much bigger issues in schools and with teenagers that we should be concerned with.

To Fathers

Here's a great quote by Mark Twain:

"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years". -Mark Twain

So true!
