Pastoral Resources

Few if any teenagers can relate to getting up for school and finding famous comics like Pryor and Williams hanging out in your living room after a hard night of partying. But that's Hollywood.

Teenagers too often have to deal with loss and death. You had to cope with the untimely death of your brother; how can young people deal with such tragedies?

If you can get a teen leader in each sector of a student population, you can pull people in. Everybody wants to get involved, but most are too afraid. When they see a person they think is cool leading it, they're first to join.

It's never that hard for me to imagine what it must feel like to be someone else, whether it's an American teenage girl or a Japanese octogenarian man.

I love being a part of Aqua Teen.

I did try to get a few of those teen high-school movies, but they just didn't like me. I guess I wasn't a certain type.

I'm pretty sure this is it for the teen movie thing. It's so frustrating to read when you get to page 20 and you're like, Oy! It's the same thing again!

They were marketing me as a teen idol, when the stuff on the record was not what teen idols were doing at the time.

In my late teenage years, I developed a real passion for it, and wrote a lot of poetry.

I love the live performances and Las Vegas. I also like making films that are being discovered by another generation. Having been a teen idol of the '60s is great because you realize you left your generation with a smile and good memories.

I never had teenage years. I guess because I was seen to be more adult than anybody around me.

When I'm with my friends' teenage children, I always say, 'Are your friends having sex yet?'

Maybe that's the whole teen oeuvre, you know covering people in disgusting bodily fluids and whatnot.

I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.

Living with these teenage boys allowed me to see how much their psyches were like their girl counterparts. They were more familiar to me than I would have thought.

Everyone should see Hollywood once, I think, through the eyes of a teenage girl who has just passed a screen test.

Cherish believes that God made her with a special purpose. Like any teenage girl, she has her insecurities, but for the most part she has a real healthy self-esteem.

My teenage years were exactly what they were supposed to be. Everybody has their own path. It's laid out for you. It's just up to you to walk it.

Teen pop will never die as long as there are teens and popular music. It just takes a different head.

I find the idea of today's icons being teenagers incredibly uninspiring.
