Teen Zen is Half-baked Cupcake Zen

I prefer not to decide people's futures.

Since teenagers are unfit to run the world or make the best decisions about their daily activities -- it would be foolish to plan their life based upon these half-baked dreams, immature desires, emotional weaknesses.

Your teenage years may always seem romantic and fun, but you were just a big kid with few responsibilities.

Still, if there is any wisdom that you stumbled upon, or dreams you had then, that still seem appropriate now, I hope you will add them to your list for a broader view of who you are.

Perhaps you had abusive parents or stepparents, and you hated your teenage years.

Since we are trying to build a positive future for you, we need to clean off these negatives.

In my Shaolin Chi Mantis Gongfu Beginner Program, we address these issues more directly and I discuss painful issues in PRIVATE COUNSELING SESSIONS or just GROUP CLASS READINGS.
