Hey everyone!

I decided to set up this blog for one reason...I wanted to create a place that tweens and teens could come and express their concerns and get help if they need it...I know that a lot of you out there feel that us adults don't understand you and that we don't care about anything you have to say...I can't speak for every adult out there, but for the most part this is not true...I'm going to let you in on a little secret...us adults feel just as misunderstood as you guys!...some of us feel that you judge us and just automatically we have bad intentions when we sit you down to talk...so this is a two way street...we both need to understand eachother.

I want you to come to this page whether your happy, sad, mad, angry, excited...whatever the case...if you have had a bad day and just want to slam on your key board then come to Phes' Corner and do that...even if it looks like this---> 283478487yrhufnjfdhjdfuyre8348r4!!!...that's perfectly fine!...I know that just like us adults you all have bad days too...and I know that sometimes you feel that talking just makes you more angry which is what your parents do right? ask you to sit down and talk about it?...well trust me they are not trying to be all up in your business...as a parent we want to fix things...if our children come through the door and have a sad face we automatically think of 10 ways we could fix that face without even knowing what the prolem is!...so us asking you to sit down and talk about it is our way of saying 'i can fix it...i know i can!...but like i said I know this is not what you want to hear the minute u walk through the door...so might i suggest that instead of just slamming the door and stomping up the stairs while screamin 'leave me alone!' or 'NOTHINGS WRONG! I"M FINE!!!' before slamming your bedroom door, maybe you could just say 'I just need a minute alone'...if you were to say that to your caregivers I promise you they will back off...I know a lot of times you feel that your parents don't respect you, but if you voice to them exactly what it is you need you will see the respect you feel you deserve...if they don't know what you need they can't give it to you...and this goes both ways...parents need to tell you what they need as well...see there's the two way street again...lol

I also want Phes' Corner to be a place that you can come to if you need any kind of advice or help...I find that a lot of people within the 11-19 age group feel they need to be heard...I think a lot of you feel that you are looked over a lot of the time and feel that your opinion doesn't matter..well i'm going to tell you that I hear you and I know how important your opinions are...I know that this age group are the most important because you will be the ones running this world one day so of course your opinions matter!...Your feelings are very important...You can come to Phes' Corner and express any feelings you have and you can come here and ask advice on any subject you want...I'm here to help or just here to listen =)
