I recently did an interview with a very cool journalist, Myrna Haskell, who has a parenting column that runs in 10 different states. She asked smart questions, all from the parents point-of-view, about what do to when your teenager starts being interested in (gasp!) the opposite sex. Since we’ve all been there (even the parents!), [...]
This is a question for the ages. Is he your boyfriend if you just hang out? Are you really going out if you don’t actually go anywhere? Here’s my latest “dear sarah” column and I know you can all relate, whether you’re 14 or 34… Your Question: My boyfriend and I have been going out [...]
The most recent “dear sarah” question really made me think. What do you do when you like someone but you aren’t allowed to date? And what if your parents have an extra reason for being a little protective? As if the teen years aren’t hard enough, this girl has a lot on her plate. I’m [...]
We’ve all been there. It seems like everyone – even your neighbor’s pet poodle – has a special someone. What do you do when everyone has a boyfriend but you? That’s the topic of my latest dear sarah advice column on ABC Family… Your Question: My boyfriend just broke up with me … or maybe, [...]
I’m shocked that Chris Brown released a video apology expressing “deep regret” for assaulting Rihanna (on TMZ, no less). Does he really think that a video about how his mom taught him better makes up for the fact that he’s abusive? Being sorry, while an important step towards change, does not dismiss the fact that [...]
You can’t talk about relationships today without also talking about hooking up. And even though I do a lot of talking about teen relationships, it’s not just a teen thing. Most of my friends - successful, smart and pretty women in the their late 20s and early 30s – also talk about hooking up. In [...]
I love the parenting host of ABC News Now, Annie Pleshette Murphy. She’s really in touch with what’s happening on the YA scene and had some good questions during our interview about BOYOLOGY. One of the recurring questions I’m getting from TV anchors and radio hosts is, “So how different IS it being a teenager [...]
This morning, instead of getting on the E train and going to work like I normally do, I went to Rockefeller Center and appeared on the Today Show! Sitting in the studio, talking to Al Roker and Michele Borba about relationships and dating, I had one of those pinch-yourself moments. (You can watch the segment [...]
Tomorrow (Monday), I’m taping an interview on Oprah Radio‘s Dr. Laura Berman Show to talk about teen relationships and dating. Dr. Berman – who’s a mom, bestselling author, therapist (I could go on and on) – is taking the parent’s point-of-view and I’ll be representing teens, talking about everything from how cell phones have changed [...]
My editor just sent along the second review of BOYOLOGY and it’s fantastic! It ran today in the Publisher’s Weekly Children’s Bookshelf and I would have totally missed it if she hadn’t sent it to me. The whole review is below but I have to give a little shout-out to the incredible publicists working on [...]
