I got an e-mail this morning from my mom telling me she had seen Romeo on Primetime last night. I’m still looking for the video of the show, but I did read the story on their website.
One day, there will be some stories about this day from my students that have not yet been processed. In a small town most people knew both the boy and the girl in this story. Hopefully, it’s a reminder to parents to get nosey with their kids. Of course this implies that parents are actually caring about what’s happening in their kids lives when over and over again kids are telling me "My parents don’t want to know the details."
We all know this isn’t true. Parents desperately want to be there for their kids and kids desperately want to have their parents there for them. The issue is that neither is comfortable with the details… How do we make this happen?
Two things you need to read/do in follow-up to this entry.
- Read the Primetime story
- Watch the video The Secret Lives of Teens
