There is a small, yet active group of young people whose life-stage affords them a special perspective on Harvard life. These are not ambitious members of the Class of 2003 camping out on your futon, nor are they the never-washing teen hordes that flood Harvard Square every weekend. They are the youngest members of our community at 12 or 14 years old, and many have never lived elsewhere. Recently, we sought them out for their inimitable takes on the Harvard experience, and this is what they told...
With a section on readers' embarrassing moments and an interactive quiz, Parents is hard to distinguish from Seventeen or YM. Of course, these confessions feature parental blunders, not teen tribulations. Rather than tales of untimely menstruation, Parents spotlights more mature bloopers.

Then, about six months later, the teen can get a provisional license. Finally, the teen can get a full license, provided there have been no accidents or violations...
Some states, including California and Florida, have gone a step further, barring teens with provisional licenses from driving late at night, when the risk of accidents is higher. And six states have passed more radical laws prohibiting teens from driving with other teenagers in the car. "I've always believed that you put more than one teen in a car and their IQs go down," says Sandy Grasinger, who lobbied for the California law after her 15-year-old daughter died in an accident. "I did the same thing--radio going, hollering and talking and having...
