Open Letter to Public Library Patrons
Dear Fellow Public Library Patrons:
I have mistakenly assumed that we all have a shared cultural context for politeness and apporpriate behavior in a library. However, my experience today has demonstrated that some of you may need explicit instructions in regard to proper library conduct.
*Your "push to talk" phone is annoying while I'm grocery shopping. At library, it's downright abhorrent. Leave it in the car, please.
*You may only be 13 and half my age, but if you do the fake drop your pencil, turn in your seat to "pop your back" move to stare at me one more time, we're going to have a discussion that embarasses you more than it does me. I have no idea what insecurity of mine you're having a giggle about, but it's getting on my nerves.
*There's a setting on your cell phone. It's called "silent."
*In libraries we use our inside voice, even when it's to explain to our daughter how to use the computer in painstakingly simple but appropriate ways.
*Stop shaking your leg and shaking the table.
*When you talk with your I-pod earbuds in, you're probably being too loud.
That is all, for now.
Sincerely,
Me

What do you think?
In the state of Illinois, the extent to which therapy sessions with adolescents are confidential is at the determination of the therapist when it comes to whether or not to disclose to parents. I highly value the confidentiality of the therapy context, and believe that it's my job to work to have an adolescent tell his or her own parents important information, so that I can eventually be out of the picture and they have new skills in regard to communication with one another. But there are limits to that, and I often tell the teen, you can tell your mom/dad at the end of the session, or I will. Which do you prefer? Or, you have until our next session to tell mom or dad this or we'll be doing it in that session.
Here's a list we're supposed to rank for my Advanced Ethics course. What do you think? Tell me your ratings and then I'll show you mine after some people have responded.
Would you require disclosure to parents (or anyone else) for any of the following behaviors on the part of your 16 year teen client even if the teen doesn’t want you to disclose? Give your rating on the following scale for each of the following:
Rank the 0-10 with 0 being Would Not Disclose, 5 Totally Depends, 10 Definitely disclose.
_____ Being sexually active?
_____ Being sexually active without the use of protection?
_____ Being sexually promiscuous?
_____ Doing marijuana once per week on the weekend?
_____ Smoking pot daily before school?
_____ Doing ecstasy once per month?
_____ Driving into a dangerous neighborhood to buy heroin for the teen’s personal use?
_____ Dealing / selling drugs?
_____ Vandalism (graffiti)
_____ Petty retail theft
_____ Buying a fake i.d. to use in bars
_____ Selling fake ids to others
_____ Your client tells you that she is having sex with an 18 year old girl
_____ Your client tells you that she is having sex with a 35 year old
_____ Stealing bikes from kids in the neighborhood and re-selling them elsewhere
_____ Your client was in a group fight with kids from a rival high school and thinks that he may have broken the nose and arm of another kid and possibly fractured the other kid’s skull as well
_____ Your client stole a car
_____ Your client plans to be involved in a large scale fight between rival groups this weekend
_____ Your client plans to have a party at her home this weekend when her parents are away
_____ Your client is pregnant and her parents don’t know
_____ And she is thinking about having an abortion

Prayers Accepted!
I've been letting you down, Internets. I've been busy investing my time in clients, professors, supervisors, husbands, friends, and kitties. And the husband and the kitties are just so darn furry and cute!
On Sunday, I am presenting during Sunday School to the parents and community members of a local church. This is the first of a two part series that I am doing on Adolescents and Sexuality. This week I find to be the hardest topic, an honest assessment of the culture and sexual behavior of adolescents. When the key point of your presentation is that people tend not to believe what you're presenting on...well, it makes for interesting interaction. However, I have feelings of mixed anticipation about getting to say the words "Oral Sex" in Sunday School. That should be interesting.
I'll let you know how it goes. Here's a statistic for you....84% of parents report that their teenager is NOT having sex. However, 47 percent of teens between the ages of 15-17 report being sexually active. Someone is wrong.
