The teen commandments
Kids, eh? Who’d ‘ave ‘em? Well, lots of people, it would seem.
The thing is, the whole “we refuse to smack Molly/Stanley/Adolf because it demeans us both, simper simper” ethos can lead to problems.
So this month a new service is being launched for parents and/or carers trying to cope with terrible teens in the People’s Republic.
Headed by Dr Peter Jackson, top psychologist and, hey, director of King Kong (not really), the Telephone Support Service (TSS) promises constructive advice for those in need.
The types of problems TSS can help solve range from common but challenging behavioural issues associated with teenage years (hanging around outside Spar with their dodgy pals) through to more serious issues (bunking off school to get boozed up and carving Dashboard Confessional lyrics into their arms).
Just one call puts users immediately in touch with Dr Jackson or one of his team, who will proffer some appropriately sage advice.
To contact TSS, parents and/or carers should call 0906 1295132 or visit www.peter-jackson.me.uk.
Please note: Dr Peter Jackson refuses to answer any questions about Orlando Bloom (swoon, he’s such a super-buff hottie, etc).
