[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, plenty of parents of teenagers here ...
My sons are 3 and 5, and we have teenagers who baybsit, twomous and one girl, between 16 and 19 years old.
I don't know why, but I am kind of intimidated by them. When I drive them home, etc, conversations are difficult. I care about them and wnat to know about their lives, but don't want to sound nosey. So don't know what to say or talk about.
Any ideas please?
I understand that this might be something that comes with their age, close down and no conversation, but I am up for the challenge :)[/quote]

Things not to say: 
So, do you like Taylor Swift? 
Do kids still say things are mint/bitchin? 
Want to share a joint? I can park around the corner, and have eye drops in the glove compartment.

Things to say: 
Hey, next time you're over, would you mind showing me how to send pics on my cell phone (or anything else involving your cell phone)/set up Skype/Facetime? 
So, did you see the video from last night where Taylor Swift was performing and fell off the stage? 
You're in 11th right? That was my hardest grade in high school. What are you taking this year?
