"This was a great presentation and I think everyone who interacts
with teenagers (work, parents, friends, social workers, etc..) should
watch it! I teach and I was a teenager and delt with many of the same
issues. I was adopted at birth and struggled to find connections with
people. I used sex, drugs, and alcohol to feel better and I regret the
sexual decisions I made but have tried to forgive myself. I got pregnant,
and a STD and that was the bottom for me. After the abortion and lazer
surgery - my life changed -which was a good thing. I work with teenagers
and pre-teens today because I want to provide kids with positive female
role models so that they feel comfortable and have some connection to
the adult world other than parents. Thanks for creating this presentation
- it was well done and captures the real thing!!!"

"I would
like to say to everyone that worked on this program Thank-You. As I listened,
It became very familiar to me! How it becomes one feeling, two feelings
that were very important to you. Frustrated that no one could understand
or didn't want to listen. It could be that you're young and that you'll
have much bigger issues and problems when you grow up. That's the beginning
of all the teenager years. It's here you have the family that listens
or doesn't. It's here when you'll hurt the most and if they listen you're
not alone. If they don't listen it's here you hurt and now the new feeling
of being alone. It goes without saying, 'wake up people' listen to our
children. When you can have teens talk honestly and let them say what
they want you to hear, like this program. did. You will see more and more
of the same issues, but with that they now know there not alone. Next
there heard by the viewers and hopefully there family will listen too.
So in that time they know someone listened. Now there feelings don't hurt
as much today!
Why? because KNPB took the time to listen and shared these stories. It
woke up my ears and brought back my teenage years." - Kim
