Had you considered the Teens Workshop that is coming up the Weekend 20-22 October 2006,in the UK? This goes for parents as well as teens.
I keep holding this opportunity for teens, a unique opportunity like no other that can be experienced by teens in their endeavours and that SETS them up for success in many ways.
I know it's hard to imagine what it's would be like, to be on the Workshop and if you have, it can be none of those imaginings, because any ideas you came up with would be made up stuff, YET it is the main reason teens are reluctant to come, that is, they make up stuff and then say it is not for them then they do not have to concern themselves with it. Easy!
BUT, hey, WHAT if this Workshop really does open a teen up to something completely new, the key for them, that they have been looking for a while now, that there is a life they could be living where doors open where they were once closed. This is what LITERALLY happens - it does not displace them from what they already enjoy rather opens them up to more and if there is a draw to them they will KNOW to be able to put their attention on that. The person who does not heed the "calls" you could say ends up down the line saying something like 'Look at me! I have never done a thing I wanted to - IN ALL MY LIFE!!" (BTW - This is a theme of a book named Babbitt by Sinclair Lewis) So there are 'calls' in a teens life (and these calls continue through life) that are to be heeded yet there is a state of READINESS required to answer them for a start. MOST people, the MAJORITY of the population, from sixteen to sixty year olds, do NOT have the readiness - so what happens are some scenarios - they do what's familiar and comfortable and over time, once the initial novelty of what that is wears off, or after they have poured lots of energy into a direction and STILL not getting the sense of satisfaction - they are back to Babbitt!! OR they engage in things that offer an altered experience because they think the one they are getting to have, without the external aids, is not good enough!
Whereas to BEGIN again, what I would say most people yearn for, to first have the readiness to be OPEN to the possibilities that are available and from the opportunities that WILL present themselves, be BEST PLACED to be able to choose. Best placed to CHOOSE what to be putting attention on that generates the experience that they will have, knowing that it is a match and fit for THEM! It's how people who appear NOT to put a foot down wrong, do it. THIS is WHY the teens that have already attended the Exquisite Teens, by the end of the weekend, are in the habit of being so THANKFUL that they attended. You see, they never in their life expected or were able to make up in their head WHAT they got to experience and learn during the weekend!
So it is like the scene from the first MATRIX movie when Morpheous says to Neo do you take the red pill or the blue pill - which would YOU CHOOSE?
