Hear what the WWC members have to say to parents

Shorty says

Parents shouldn't always listen to what other people say. For example if someone tells you that your child did something wrong don't yell at them or whoop them because someone said something. Let them explain to you because they might just tell you the truth. Never go by he said and she said, just see it to believe it for yourself. Parents should always listen to their children more without trying to cut them off because your child might have something important to talk about.

T. Bear says

Parents, please don't be so hard on your kids. Listen to them. Take time and show them that you love them. Never force your kids to do anything if they don't want to obey. Let them learn from the hard way no matter how old they are. I learned my lesson to do what I am told to do because now I am on my own and being on my own isn't no good! Take time and tell your kids the things they need to know. It's okay to whoop your kids but don't beat them. If you do beat them it does nothing but make them badder and badder. It's okay to let your kids get away with things but not a lot because then they will continue doing what they're doing and then they will take over you. I don't want to see kids like me, so listen to what your kids have to say. P.S., E-mail us for more information.

Tweety the "G" says

Parents please don't try to scare your child into something or make them do something they don't enjoy. That will only make them be stubborn to the subject and force them to rebel against you as the parent.

Sike-O says

Parents, please include your children in any decision that you would like to make that would change their lives or at least ask their opinions because it will affect them more than anything. This will spare you a lot of attitudes. Remember: Having too much pride sometimes blocks out what really matters.

Mickey Mouse says

Hello parents, I am Mickey Mouse. I just wanted to let you know that our site is not just for teens and kids. You can ask us questions about your teens or kids; or ask us about ourselves.

Lil’ Black says

Parents shouldn’t talk all the time, they should listen too because your child might be telling the truth. You guys shouldn’t force your teen to be something they don’t want to be or do because they might want to rebel even more. P.S. E-mail for more details.

Personal from T. Bear

Dear parents

Hi, this is T. Bear. I'm going home Friday but I still have a problem with my father. He doesn't abuse me or anything, he just argues with me. I leave the house until I think he is under control. Another thing I just turned 17 in March and my Dad says he doesn't want me dating. What should I do or what should I say to him? It's hard for me to let my father know how I feel because he's my father and sometimes fathers don't trust their little girls. I understand that but I'm 17 years old and I never dated before. At least he can let me talk to boys. I have to go. Please give me some answers. I need to know what to do if I have trouble talking to my father.
