Our Commitment to you
TeensParentsTeachers.org is an online communication and information center--a national PTA. We encourage family engagement and discussion among parents, students and teachers about issues important to young people in their journey to adulthood. Topics include education, college admissions, college life, health, eating disorders, addictions, sexuality, race, bullying and other issues and news events.
We include articles written by high school and college students, as well as by professionals. These articles raise many ideas intended to stimulate reflection and discussion with one overriding goal: to help young people as they wrestle with the challenges they face. Our site provides a family reading experience.
Visitors to the site are invited to pose questions, express opinions and offer comments.
Embedded in the concept for our website is our philosophy of offering a broad reading experience through highly informative, insightful material that presents many points of view. We strive to maintain a sensitivity to the needs of diverse families, and we are committed to including material pertaining to issues of multiculturalism, gender bias, and racial diversity. In addition to the many interesting articles, we provide links to other resources dedicated to the well-being of young people.
