Welcome to The Teenage Tightrope website.

I have been working with and studying teenagers for over fifteen years and think that today’s adolescent culture can and will make a positive impact on our world. As with every generation of teen, they need the support and guidance of the surrounding adult culture. It may sound repetitive at times, but it is true and needs to be said often, parents and other significant adults have a tremendous impact on how a teenager sails toward adulthood. As such, we as adults need to take personal responsibility for the way we live life and strive to be an informed and involved part of a teenager’s life.

We hope you find the information and links helpful in your relationships with teenagers. If you are a teacher, feel free to download the episodes and use them as discussion starters and/or illustrations in your teaching. If you are in need of professional assistance, contact one of the counselors listed in the counselor link. The helpful links section will connect you with websites that are filled with information that will assist you in better understanding teenagers and their world.
