Don't worry I also talk about concerning features of 'some' an...

Each season I'll be bringing you a Being A Tween episode dedicated to a different topic I think is worthy of attention. The first one in this series covers hair growth, just not on our heads. This is a much-ignored subject in conversation and on podcasts but is something tween kids, like me, are often experiencing. Expect to hear my personal story of Bob the lone long hair who grew and grew and wa...

Today I'm talking about different kinds of safety. Most of us take our safety for granted. But that's not the reality for lots of people. It's a difficult topic and I don't go into detail. Honest.
