Are you a parent of a teen?

Permit me to stray from my objective of discussing my journey with A Course in Miracles and bring up a completely unrelated topic. This is for parents only... if you are not a parent you will have no interest in what I am about to discuss - I apologize.

If you are a parent of a teenager, a high school prom is most likely in your future. A friend who has watched three daughters drive off to the prom has just published a book about 'after prom parties'. She personally organized an after prom party for one of her daughters and learned enough to realize that this was an event that needed to be introduced to every parent of a high school student.

In doing her research, she inadvertently discovered that the night of the prom is one of the most dangerous times of a teenager's life. Every year, scores of American teens are killed every year on prom night and most of the accidents and deaths involve alcohol. The only way to protect our children from themselves during this perilous time is to provide a celebration that is more fun than other nonsanctioned activities. See what this mother suggests and learn more about her timely new book at www.After-Prom.org.
