You can help your teen budget their dating habits with these where-to-go-ideas: Get outside and explore national or local parks - many of which are free. Give your teen and their date use of the kitchen to make their own meal, or bake everyone a treat. Your teen and their boy/girl friend can volunteer together. Spending time together working on a cause is a great way to get to know each other. Got Netflix? Get a group of couples together and have an in-house movie night. Hangout and play The IPod shuffle on each other's IPods. Talk about why you like your choice of music. High school and college sporting events are often free for students.

Cyberbullying is a new way to bully and crops up out of our teens' ability to connect with each other through internet social websites, email and cell phones. While the ability to talk with friends in these different ways is fun, it has given bullies a new way of doing what they want to do - hurt people. And that is the main point I want to make here: Using the internet to bully is new, but bullying isn't. Therefore, if your teen is dealing with cyberbullying, you treat it just as you would if your teen is being bullied in the school yard. Here are some tips on what you can do if your teen is dealing with cyberbulling.
