Texting While Driving Kills Teens Cell phones seem harmless enough and they are if they are used responsibly. The only problem we use to have with cell phones was the fact that it was annoying when someone was talking loudly on their phone in public. Texting has become the popular thing for teens to do. Many of them do not even realize that texting while driving kills.Innocent people are being killed every day because someone is trying to drive and text at the same time. The smart thing to do would be to wait until you got out of the car to text or at least pull over. Unfortunately that is not what people are doing. There has even been a study that shows that texting while driving is more dangerous than driving drunk. That is a scary thought.

Why Teens and Young Adults Should Think About Credit It's great when parents are willing to help out with their kids' futures, but make sure that you understand all of the implications before you help your kids build credit. A credit card is a great way to start building credit as a teen or young adult, and many young people receive their first credit card from their parents. Before you hand your teen a credit card as they head off to the mall, think about whether it's helping (or possibly hurting) their future credit.Authorized Users vs. Co-ApplicantsOften, a teen's first introduction to credit is becoming an authorized user on a parent's credit card. This is an easy way to get a credit card, but it's not usually the best way. In almost every case, an authorized user does not build positive credit of their own, but if the primary cardholder goes into default, it can be reflected on the authorized user's credit report. In other words, your child does not stand to benefit from your good credit but could suffer if you fall into hard times.Placing your child on your account as a co-applicant can have even more harmful consequences. If your credit card company requests a...more
