Too many people think that it can't happen to them, but it can. Seventy-five teen fatalities have occurred in Kentucky. We want that number to decrease.

We knew when we started this band that a lot of our appeal was going to be in the teen market. We knew that's who buys records; kids in college burn CDs.

Blue Collar Comedy' is our only program with growing ratings and it taps into an underserved market. Rather than keep hammering away at the small teen girl market, we decided to re-orient the network around this audience of people I fly over on the way to meetings.

Be vigilant about restricting your children from riding with a first-year teen driver. It's tempting to have different options for getting kids and teens to and from school, a job, sports practices and other events, but the risks are high. Parents who understand the risks should be more willing to personally drive children until teens obtain their full licenses or have gained enough driving experience to make them feel comfortable with transporting others.

This year is senior year and with senior year comes all that sort of angst and anxiety, all that sort of epic teen drama - who am I, where am I going, what's gonna happen to us, ... It's going to call everyone's identity into question and throw the show back on the family.

Every teen retailer has cynical shirts because it's a generation whose values are almost completely cynical. They're so clued into marketing and the wired world that they look at things with a more jaundiced eye than their parents.

A steady diet of it and a teen will stop coming to the mother for advice altogether.

It would mean a doctor would have to wait until a teen faced a medical emergency. In that case the doctor, instead of going to a hospital, would have to go to court.

When we talk about teen driver safety, it tends to be viewed as a problem that affects teen drivers. I don't want to de-emphasize the importance of (teenage) casualties, but your mother might be in a car hit by a teen driver.

You give a teen a program that was intended just for them and they take pride in it.

(We've) really tried to develop programs that meet the teen audience. There's a lot out there for youngsters, but once they're 14, 15, 16, you have to be creative.

We've had a teen card system here for 10 or 15 years. In the last week we've issued eight of them. We have quite a few cards out there.

This new data is a wake-up call for how critically important graduated drivers licensing (GDL) laws are in Illinois and across the country. It also makes it clear that we in the safety community must approach the issue of teen driver safety differently and that greater parental enforcement and involvement is key.

Being a musician since I was a teen, Guitar Center is the staple. You need anything to create, it's there. You need a Guitar Center. You gotta give it homage. It's a tool shed, and without the tool shed, it's hard to create.

Thanks to unique circumstances -- a great deal of disposable income paired with fewer recurring debts -- the teen segment tends to have a much bolder attitude toward spending than does the general population.

Extending the passenger limit of the GDL law from six months to one year will help reduce injuries and deaths from teen crashes both by reducing the number of distractions for novice drivers and the number of potential crash victims.

'Teen Beach Movie' was a lot of fun because we were in Puerto Rico on an island - you can't even call it work!

Teen girls are figuring out what they want out of life and who they want to be. Combine this new responsibility with all the stress and pressures in their lives and the result, unfortunately, can be substance abuse.

Ever since I was a little teen, I was told by my great-grandma that you've got to always have a good moisturizer. I use cocoa butter, and I use it for all things needing moisture - face, hair, throw it on those legs at the beach, get them all shiny. Cocoa butter is such a great product.

I've always enjoyed teen characters, and kids as well. For whatever reason, I seem to have an ability to do it sort of well, and I enjoy doing it.

I've always enjoyed the teen angst thing. I had a lot of teen angst as I was growing up, so I think I have a lot to say about it through characters before I have to move on.

This is actually something no one knows, but my mom was really the one who created the entire style for 'Teen Witch.' I'm dead serious.

This is a new and cute and easy thing to do, but I'm not critical of them for doing something about it. There are important and effective opportunities for legislative action to reduce teen drinking that will be much more important than this.

In light of a recent study that seems to indicate a direct correlation between alcohol advertising and increased teen drinking and another study showing the numbers of people, other than teen drivers, being killed in crashes involving teens, it's more important than ever before to make sure there is a dialogue with teens about issues that could impact their futures. Whether teens spend time at a bowling alley, a friend's house, a coffee shop, or online text-messaging, The Spot shows teens that it is up to them to make sure their 'spot' is filled with positive influences and not with harmful substances.

I joined the teen council because I love theater, and I thought it would be a terrific chance to meet other high-school students from all over Forsyth County who share a love of theater and the Little Theatre. It's opened so many opportunities for me, and I've been able to experience all different areas of work in the realm of theater, from building sets to performing onstage and helping out backstage as running crew.

I never actually knew anyone in a coma, ... Well, on 'The Valley' (her favorite show-within-a-show teen soap) there's someone in a coma like every week, but I think they only do that so when the person wakes up, another actress can play the part.

I love movies. 80's fan. I watch 5 new movies a week. I have a huge collection of DVDs. Anywhere from American Psycho to Teen Wolf.

Smells Like Teen Spirit. Well, it was a phenomenon. I think a lot of it was timing as what was going on in the music business. And a lot of the Sunset Strip hair bands were past their prime and people were ready for something new. Nirvana always tried to be sincere.

'Snowpiercer' is a little bit more experimental, I think, and crafted for a slightly different audience. 'The Giver' is more about teen angst.

Seriously, teen movies are great. It's work. And it's fun. But I want a real movie. About a real life situation.

I instinctively dress a bit tougher because I've spent a lot of time in the U.S. and I realised there was a certain image projected of me here. I've always been an absolute rebel. When I was in my teen years I had piercings and wore all black.

Democrats all across Texas know we need to get serious about solutions. That's why I've proposed my Pact with Parents that addresses major challenges of our day, whether it's the quality of public schools, property tax relief, insurance rates, teen pregnancy, stem cell research, credit companies or insurance. It's a roadmap for how we can get from here to there.

It's opportunistic. People see this as a way to go after stations that are of value and of use. In the process, student voices can be lost, and the entire society loses. From teen pregnancy to school testing, we understand our world better and our teenagers better when we hear them.

It sort of started with this idea of doing a teen noir show. The first-person, hard-boiled narrative is inherent in noir. I wanted her to sound like a 17-year-old female Raymond Chandler.

If you were an alien who came to our bookstores - or browsed our teen magazines - you'd think that only Earth girls who look like Mila Kunis ever got any action.

Investors should be excited about teen apparel stocks because most of the merchants in that space are competing for a huge $70 billion pie. Whereas the overall retail apparel space is suffering from overcapacity and increasing competition, the teen space is really a niche segment of that pie and has a lot more room to grow.

Becoming an Intel STS semifinalist shows the world that this teen has exceptional promise and has the potential to become one of tomorrow's great scientists.

California has reduced teen pregnancy rates by 40 percent over the last 10 years because of the support we've received from state lawmakers and the public. Governors like Pete Wilson and Gray Davis left a lasting legacy in their support of family planning and reproductive rights. We honor them today for their outstanding leadership.

Because of people like that guy in San Francisco who told me it changed his life, 'Teen Witch' is my most favorite thing I've ever done. I see how happy it makes people, and that makes me happy. The great thing is that no one realized it was going to become all these things when we were making it. We thought we were making a very serious movie.

I don't really think I feel pressured to become a teen sensation because that's not really my goal in life. It's not really about being star, being popular or having lots of girls. It's really about continuing to be able to act and have fun, and do what I like to do.

I didn't know what was going to happen with 'Teen Wolf.' I was only scheduled to do four episodes for them, but they kept me on, and I was like, 'Sweet! I'm still employed! That's awesome!' And then, they let me know that they were considering having me for the second half of the season.

After 'Freaky Friday,' another teen movie was not on my playlist.

As far as directing, yeah, I'd like to do that. But you've got to spend at least a year, year-and-a-half doing that. It's got to be something you really love. To direct a sequel to somebody else's work is not interesting to me. To do a teen comedy, I don't think is really something I'd want to spend a year of my life doing at this point.

Any distraction can be a deadly one. The split second that it takes a teen to fumble for the cell phone to try to catch a call from a friend may spell disaster for the teen and his or her victim.

You want to make sure your teen is driving the safest car possible.

All three of their brands are doing absolutely awesome. They are the coolest kid in town. They look better than anyone else does in their space, in the mall. If there's any teen retailer that's well positioned for 2006, it's them.

The dramatic progress the nation has made in reducing rates of teen pregnancy is justifiably noted and celebrated. Even so, the proportion of sexually experienced teens who get pregnant or cause a pregnancy remains alarmingly high. Much still needs to be done to convince young people of the value of delaying sexual activity and to convince those who are sexually active to use contraception consistently and carefully.

The free teen film screenings and panel discussion on opportunities for women in film direction and editing is going to be an entertaining and informative program. There is a shortage of women professionals in this field, and that needs to change. Our panelists will talk about how that can be done. And these are two very enjoyable and thoughtful films. We're hoping high school and college students respond to this program ---- both genders are encouraged to attend.

The General Assembly has indicated support for Teen REACH programs. The budget isn't complete yet. The governor is working closely with legislative leaders.

The church youth director where I was a teen in New York had such energy and dedication,

The eighties were my teen years, so the GoGos are sort of a touchstone.

It is very unusual in this day and time to find a teen ... no, to find anyone who is that involved in volunteering their time. He is an outstanding young man.

Even when I was a teen model, I didn't think it was fair that I had to enter the acting world to get insurance.

As a teen, I heard the second Velvet Underground album, 'White Light/White Heat,' and it was too much for my limited scope of appreciation. It was intense, but I didn't get it.

As a teen in junior high school, I was always told that I could sing. I knew then that singing and performing was what I wanted to do.

There was a three-year chunk as a teen where I should have been tranquilized and put in a cage.

It's a very bad time for genuinely creative people to do television or anything now. There isn't a huge audience anymore to get the big budget which you need to make good drama unless you get sponsorship or unless you get teen stars to be in them. That sort of ties in with marketing and Coca-Cola and all that stuff.

I took high school very casually. There was Teen Town, chess, tennis, boxing, running. Lots of things going on.

Underage drinking is not only illegal, it is dangerous, and it is up to adults to do the right thing by not allowing their property be used for teen drinking parties.

It's going to vary from kid to kid. You want to minimize distractions, including cell phones and other teen passengers, minimize nighttime driving, and make sure they are wearing seatbelts.

This is the proving ground that could take these teen technicians to the next level of education and potentially down a career path in auto technology. We've handed out more than a million dollars in scholarships to the top Idaho students in this contest in the past 15 years.

This is wonderful news, and an important measure of progress toward reducing overall smoking rates in the state. Every teen we are able to prevent from smoking today will become an adult who will very likely remain tobacco-free.

There's a theory about fame: the moment it strikes, it arrests development. Michael Jackson remained suspended in childhood, enjoying sleepovers and funfairs; Winona Ryder, an errant teen who dabbled in shoplifting and experimented with pills; George Clooney, a 30-year-old commitment-phobe, never quite ready yet to settle down.

I decided to use black-and-white for the film, because that is the image of adolescence to me. We see teen films all the time where the colors are very bright and always changing. But teens tend to look at things in very specific terms. They believe in things one way or the other, and they see themselves and the people around them one way or the other.

I do think they definitely have the monopoly on understanding the teen market,

The less money they have, the less they'll spend in malls and teen stores like Hot Topic and Abercrombie & Fitch.
