I found out that sparkpeople has a sight just for teens a few weeks ago and signed my 13 year old son up for it. He really likes it and I highly recommend it for other teens. It already has gotten him to think about more exercise and better nutrition.

We are very overprotective parents when it comes to the internet and our children are not allowed on it with supervision. It is for their own good. The computer is in the family room where everyone can see what anyone is doing. We have always made it clear that although we trust our children and they do deserve privacy the internet is one place they will not get it and that is for their own safety. Because they have always known that is the way it is and has always been and they are still young they are okay with that. I don't think you can be too strict on that matter but I'm curious how others handle their teens on the internet.
