Teens in India: Book Review
 
India in Your Living Room Learning Series
 
Immerse yourself into the life of a teen in India. Within 100 pages you can learn about the life of typical Indian teenagers. Though pictures of India may look exotic, different and foreign, the lives of everyday teens may not be so different than the life of a teen in America. For instance, teens in India have to go to school and prepare for their future, they also enjoy participating in sports and community activities and spending time with friends, and, like any other teen also learns to balance all these responsibilities and activities with an active family life. All these aspects and more are beautifully narrated in Lori Shores book, Teens in India.

 
I really enjoyed this book, which I found in the children’s section of my local library. I believe all ages can benefit from this book. This book is a condensed, straight to the point, non-judgmental overview of not only the life of teens in India but the culture and lifestyle found in most parts of India. Why pick up one of those ‘boring’ books written by an academic with long words and paragraphs that put you to sleep, when you can read this fast paced, easy to read, entertaining book and in just a few hours? It’s not only the words that will draw you in, but the images and pictures. Browse the book for the pictures first and you will automatically be inspired to read the book too! I was happy to see all the photos were labeled with interesting facts. The photos immerse you in the everyday social, family, spiritual and educational experiences of a typical Indian teen and their family. It would not only prepare you to understand life in India, but could help prepare you for a possible trip to India or help you interact better with any Indian exchange students here.

 
This book does not feed into the stereotypes of India, it will give you a balanced view of the life of a teen, be it a life in the city or in the village. Exploring their life is very interesting. It is true that there are social issues in India, and these are briefly touched upon as they too are realities of a teen’s life in India just as social issues affect the lives of teens in America. I appreciate how these issues are revealed to the reader without judgment. Throughout the book, the judgment of what you learn is left to you as the reader and it is not given to you by the author. So do pick up this book, read it, learn about the culture of India and decide for yourself!

Question by Sandi B: What is a good foundation for a teen with mild acne ?
Hey.
So im buying a new foundation soon because I just ran out of mine, and I was using Almay Nearly Naked Foundation. Does anyone know any good ones I can use ?
It has to be:
-medium-full coverage
-below 15$ (canada)
-Doesn’t clog pores

Does anyone have any ideas or anything?
:)

Answer by ohemgee
everyday minerals however get the intensive. i used to think that minerals wouldnt cover up my pimples but it does! and it looks natural. I used to use the liquid concealer and it looked very cakey. but i used everyday minerals, buttery tan is my complexion, with some of their concealer and my skin looks great.

you can get it at everydayminerals.com or look it up on google.

also! they have a free sample where you get 3 foundation choices, 1 concealer and a blush. greattt deal.

Vanessa on phone 1

A few nice teen chatting images I found:

Vanessa on phone 1
teen chatting
Image by gwilmore
Our daughter Vanessa is now in seventh grade. Most of her free time is now spent either on the telephone or on the Internet, chatting with her friends, her conversation liberally sprinkled with the word "like," without which she would probably be mute. I try to correct that tendency, but it’s a losing battle, and I know it. But the futility of the effort is equaled only by the fun I have teasing her about it. Shortly after I took these images, for example, she approached me and asked if she could have some, like, money. I replied that I didn’t think she could have "like" money, because I wasn’t sure what that was — and that if she was asking for counterfeit money, that was a federal crime, and I wouldn’t be involved in something like that. I feel certain that if Vanessa ever becomes President of the United States, her inaugural address will contain some memorable line, such as "The only thing we, like, have to fear is, like, fear itself," or "Ask not, like, what your, like, country can do for you; ask what you, like, can do for your country."

I took this and a companion image while she was sitting on her bed, talking to one of her friends. Although I was concentrating on taking the picture and not on the substance of her conversation, I’m sure she said "like" at least 20 times during the two or three minutes I spent setting up my camera and taking my pictures. Of the two I am posting, I like her expression better in this one, which was taken manually, using the vivid-colors mode of my Nikon D50. For purposes of comparison, I used portrait mode in the other image. Comments and comparisons are invited.

Irlen Syndrome: A Teen’s Summary

A teen tells you about Irlen syndrome-what it is, its symptoms and how to get help if you have it. Irlen syndrome can cause light-based headaches, reading problems, eye strain, fatigue, poor depth perception, problems driving at night, etc. There’s two types of treatment: colored overlays, and tinted glasses or contacts. For more info check out… -My site: www.readingandlight.com -Official Irlen website www.irlen.com Note You can now download a high-quality version of this video to your computer: www.readingandlight.com -David Accola

The official video for Madison Rose’s EXPLOSIVE debut single TEENAGE RUNAWAY “Teenage Runaway,” is an emotional power ballad that Madison wrote about her experiences trying to help a self-destructive friend. Madison feels that, “most people can relate to the emotional struggles that happen in our teen years and the feelings of isolation and loneliness that make us want to run away not just physically, but emotionally as well”. The message she hopes to convey with her song is that, “there are people who care about you, even if it’s a friend, you just have to open your eyes and see that they are there for you”.
