"Warning Signs "
Depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide…many health care professionals argue that these mental health problems afflict more of our children today that ever, and many of these kids are undiagnosed. One study reports nearly a third of teens say they have felt sad or hopeless for at least two weeks, in a row. 80 percent more teenage girls are hospitalized for depression, compared to ten years ago. And the CDC reports that one in five teens will consider suicide, and one in ten will make a serious attempt. What are the warning signs of these illnesses? How can parents help? And can kids help each other?

"Screen Addicts "
Sometimes it seems as if all our kids do is talk on their cell phones, play on their gaming systems watch YouTube, IM and text each other, hang out online in social communities such as FaceBook, and search sites on the Internet. Has screen time take over our children's lives? What is the value and what are the dangers of all the hours in front of a screen?: And how do gambling, gaming and pronography websites harm children?
