The end of the school year is tough for teens. Making up missing assignments, taking finals, and all the emotions that come from closing a chapter of your life. It can be brutal! But, if teens can balance pushing themselves a little more with acceptance of what is, then they'll be able to finish the school year strong.

Highly sensitive teens soak up other people's emotions, sometimes without meaning to. But what do you do with those "borrowed" feelings? I talk with Marv Curtis, a trauma coach, about what tweens and teens can do when their empathy for others are weighing them down and how to turn this perceived weakness into a strength.

The data is coming in and smartphones are arguably just as dangerous as driving a car, though the dangers may be different. So, why aren't there more underaged regulations when it comes it comes to teens and smartphones? Probably because teens everywhere would revolt (and some adults, too). Today I consider the idea that we really are in the early stages of a new technology, and just like when automobiles started rolling off the line, more regulations and laws may actually be a good thing.
