Parent/Teen board

I would love to find a board where parents and teens can talk with one another. I think it would be helpful to discuss various issues and get perspectives from both sides. For example, I'd love to hear from teens in regard to what they think is the most effective disipline style. We parents have many varying views of today's teens. Are we right or do we misjudge them? What do teens think of today's parents? Are we right on the ball or are we way off base? I'd love to find out.

I'd like something like this too, haha.
I bet other teens would like a board like this too. In my school's book club discussions, there's often questions about how the parent handled the issue, and the group always has alot to say about that.
Ivillage does have a teens board, but it's not very active. There's only about 5 teens that regularly toast, and I think 3 of them are 18 and 19 and don't live at home anymore. Sometimes teens come and post, then leave, because ivillage/the CL's don't allow the type of language teens like to use, and the subject matter is kept pretty tame. But maybe you could talk to the CL and coordinate something with her, or just post on the board something you're curious about.
