Dear Colleagues,
Teenagers are confronted with unprecedented challenges as they
make their way through adolescence. Unplanned pregnancies, alcohol
and drug use, eating disorders, youth violence, depression, suicide,
peer pressure, family stress, and broken relationships are just a
few of the issues facing today's adolescents. This week's
newsletter focuses on some of these health concerns.

1. EMPOWERING PARENTS
How To Stop Arguing - and Start Talking - with Your ADHD Child
Many experiences of kids with ADHD are amplified or more intense than those of average kids. So when the word "No" is heard by a child with ADHD, it registers a "10" on their emotional scale while it probably would be a "5" or less for the average kid.

Losing Generations: Adolescents in High-Risk Settings
At least 7 million young Americans--fully one-quarter of
adolescents 10 to 17 years old--may be at risk of failing
to achieve productive adult lives. They use drugs, engage
in unprotected sex, drop out of school, and sometimes commit
crimes, effectively closing the door to their own futures.
