Listen ( really listen, not just pretend listen) to what your teen says. They usually have a pretty good grip on reality and often w ill make the rules and discipline stricter than you would. In today's world being a parent is a difficult thing, but being a teenager teenag-er is just as difficult. As parents you need to be aware that your teenager is changing and maybe some of the rules also need to change. Your teen has a lot of peer pressure and they want to "fit in" with everyone else. This may cause a conflict with family rules and ou may see them rebel against your authority. You may see what you feel is a lack of responsibility i ignoring curfews, chores, etc.), frequent fre-quent arguments with family members, mem-bers, teachers, etc. This doesn't necessarily nec-essarily mean that you are loosing control of your teen, only that heshe is dealing with changes in hisher life. Establish family rules letting your teen be part of the decision making process and also setting the disci- Assure your teenager of your unconditional love. Do not try to force your own opinions and philosophies on them. They have opinions and philosophies and you need to listen to them without passing pass-ing judgment. Give your child room to make hisher own mistakes and be ready to pick up the pieces and support himher w hen needed. Ask your child this week what is happening with Red Ribbon Week in their school.

Feelings of anger, violation, sadness sad-ness is often experienced by the victim. vic-tim. Why me, why would someone do this to me or my family? In addressing the needs of these victims, the 8th District Juvenile Court is in the process of developing and implementing a Victim Offender Mediation Program. This program will offer victims and offenders the opportunity to meet face to face in a controlled setting to discuss the effects of crime on the victim and to create a restitution agreement that is acceptable to both parties. Where the debate has been about punishment and restitution, this program pro-gram addresses what does the victim require to be made whole, and provides pro-vides opportunity for a better understanding under-standing of why the offender committed com-mitted the crime. It also addresses the needs of the extended family of the victim and the offender, as well as the responsibilities of their neighbors neigh-bors and the community. Studies reflect that victims rated their overall experience as good or excellent 97 percent of the time and that victims reported they reached closure on the issues 9 1 percent of the time. Victims rated the effectiveness effective-ness of the mediator as excellent or good 96 percent of the time. Studies also indicate that youth w ho participates partici-pates in mediation are 20 percent more likely to pay restitution oblig ations on time versus youth who do not participate in mediation. The Victim Mediation Program is managed by the Administrative Office of the Courts. However, all of the trained mediators in the program are volunteers from the community. By using volunteer mediators, the program costs are reduced and community com-munity involvement is broadened. Judge Larry Steele, 8th District Juvenile Court Judge said, "Suffice it to say, our volunteers are an integral inte-gral part of the success of this program pro-gram and we appreciate their willingness will-ingness to train and help provide to our community a meaningful alternative alter-native to fair and equal justice."
