Hey guys,
A lot of you know me, a lot of you don't. My name is Julie Fidler and
I'm one of Shaunti's project specialists. I'm also the moderator on the
forums on Shaunti.com.
I'm writing an article for a magazine called Living With Teenagers and I could really use your input.
What can parents do to make their home teen-friendly? Do you have a
friend whose house you love to hang out at because it's such a cool
atmosphere? I want to hear about it. Tell me your stories and give
suggestions. You can either post here or email me at
julie.fidler@live.com
Thanks, guys!

a big help is if you're not constantly wanting the house clean, sometimes teenagers dont want to hang out at peoples houses because there constantly being told to clean up.
also teenagers like being alone, some parents might not like that so meet in the middle, lets say i have friends over. I might go in the basement while the rest of my family is upstairs so then i dont feel like my parents are listening to everything we say
and keep little brothers and sisters away. NO teenager likes to babysit when theyre hangin out with friends. |

| Its much nicer to hang out at someones house if the parents give us space, and they save shouting at their kid to clean this or do that till when I leave. Its so embarrassing when your hanging out with your friends and your mum walking in shouting about the towel on your floor. |

| I agree with the whole space thing. If I have friends over or I'm on the phone with one of my friends and there's alot of noise goin on in the house, I might wanna close my door so we can talk in peace. Just trust me enough to know that you've tought me right and I have taken your "pep talks" in and I know right from wrong. I also agree with the little siblings thing. I don't wanna have to watch my little brothers and sister when I'm with my friends. I will but it's not really on the privacy list.
Hope that helps! |

| I totally agree! When i go hang out at friends houses, it's more enjoyable when you get space to yourself and don't have parents coming down on the group (except to like clean-up if you all make a really big mess!)... Also sometimes it's just simply house location, us new generation are well... lazy, so we like to walk the least distance to a house. Hope that helps!
God bless |
