3G Usage Dominated By Teens In India: Surprising Fact?
2012-04-03 09:09:00 Each generation learns new experiences and does things faster and faster than the previous generation. Or so the saying goes. The same also seems to apply for choice of Mobile Internet. India’s Internet scenario is a unique situation, where the majority of people connect through the internet with their mobile phone as their primary source, rather than a PC or laptop. With the advent of 3G, it has been found that a majority of 3G users are not businessmen, but rather teenagers. Given that most phones being sold in India were feature phones with crippled web browser, the fact that 3G usage was available in India was never an impediment. However, with the rise of smartphones as common devices within the reach of a much larger subset of people meant that 2G or EDGE was soon insufficient for their needs. The advent of 3G services in India was a welcome move, and although most of India has still not switched to it, there are a sizable number of people using it. Ericsson re...

Gay News Roundup: Marriage Advances, Teens Struggle
2012-02-18 22:26:00 First, the good news: Marriage equality is advancing. Gov. Christine Gregoire signed legislation this past Monday that will make Washington State the seventh in the nation to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples. On the other side of the continent, the New Jersey legislature passed a gay marriage bill, only to have it vetoed by Republican Gov. Chris Christie. Proponents of equality have until December 2013 to try to gather enough votes for an override. Meanwhile, the Maryland House of Delegates narrowly passed a marriage equality bill yesterday, which the Senate and the Governor are expected to approve. So, it gets better, right? Well, yes and no. GLBT teens in non-affirming communities are still extremely vulnerable. They're bearing the brunt of the right-wing backlash against the integration of gay and lesbian adults into mainstream institutions. This month Rolling Stone published a must-read feature article about the teen suicide epidemic in Minnesota's Anoka-Hennepin ...

Teens Do Not Come With Instructions: Lucky For Their Parents, The Brats Kno
2011-02-20 04:08:00 I rarely spent a weekend sleeping at home during high school. There were two usual points of destination. One of my friends' basements resembled a liquor store/winery. A bottle or two was never missed from the inventory of hundreds. The other hostess of "overnights" was blessed with a mother who worked third-shift, a father who passed out after arriving home from second-shift, and an aunt with one leg who would have slept through an explosion.

Teens Are NOT That Bad
2009-09-14 10:00:00 Before I had children I heard people joke about having teenagers. Like how it was more fun getting a root canal without anesthetic--that kind of thing--but honestly? It kind of surprised me because while I don't recall the teen years being the most enjoyable part of my own life it seemed as if my parents had survived, sanity in tact and none the worse. Though you may not want to quote me on that.When our first child, Grace, was born one of the first times I took her out as an infant fresh from the hospital Andrew and I were at a store when a woman stopped to look at our new baby. She gushed and fussed over our beautiful daughter then looked at us full in the face and in complete seriousness said, "Enjoy her now. This is the best that it's going to be."I stared at the woman, open-mouthed. I couldn't believe she'd say that and then felt horribly sorry for anyone who had had such experiences with their children to allow them to make such a statement.Of course I could be kidding my...

College Tourcation (sic): Teens & Papa in Tow
2009-08-17 17:34:00 This summer marked the first college tour/vacation (or as I am calling it now "tourcation") for Family Jacobsen plus grandpa. My husband and I were blessed to have three children within 15 months: twins and a singleton. Seventeen years later we now have two high school juniors and one sophomore. Therefore, as any hopeful couple who ever wished to be empty nesters, we are taking our West Coast family on an East Coast car trip from one college campus to the next. Thus, wishing to instill our college yearnings and hopes into our sweet but clueless teenagers. And because we are inveterate tourists -- gluttons for historical sights, we managed to pack in some American History along the way. Who knows maybe they will use their experience for a college admissions paper or scientific experiment e.g. What earplug brand works the best to drown out Papa's snoring? We started our grand tour in Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, North Carolina, home of Duke University, University of North Carolina...

Up to 94% of teens leave Church after high school
2009-08-01 11:35:00 Great news! "Studies show between 64 and 94 percent of Christian teens leave the Church within a few years of graduating high school." Says, who? A bunch of atheists? No. The Church Communication Network ("CCN") says so, in this press release. The real question, here, is: What's wrong with the other 6% of Christian young people, that they don't see the light? In response to having the vast majority of their flock waking up and leaving the church, shortly after graduating from high school, CCN, a satellite and internet provider of training and ministry content to churches, and Focus on the Family, the ultra-conservative religious organization based in Colorado Springs, are holding a "Christian apologetics" seminar for teens called Big Dig, later this month, to try...

Most depressed teens recover with treatment: study
2009-02-13 01:47:00 A majority of teenagers treated for major depression show lasting improvements, though it may take several months for the benefits to appear, a new study suggests. The study of 439 teenagers with major depression found that while only about one-quarter saw their symptoms go into remission after the first 12 weeks of therapy, that rate improved to 60 percent by the 9-month mark. When it came to long-term recovery, the researchers found that of teenagers who did respond to therapy early on, two-thirds maintained the improvements over 9 months. The same was true of 71 percent of teens who initially took longer than 12 weeks to respond to therapy.
