What to say to your teenager when you ask, “Where are you going?” as they are on their way out the door, and they reply, “Out with my friends.”

Powerful words and message Josehf…..its a scary world for us all at times. Teenagers can be a worry especially as they are not always truthful re their whereabouts! Debx

I have a son that is having troubles. Did you know you can get a GPS key fob. Then there are phone trackers and other kinds of spy wear you can get. And after contemplating these you realize you are going nuts.

It is meant to be macabre, how else do you make a teenager think.
