How to Avoid a Family Disaster at Thanksgiving:
Plan for a Holiday that’s Just So-So
There they are again: that harmonious American family happily sitting around the turkey-laden table. See them on the covers of women’s magazines. See them in ads for tablecloths and centerpieces. See them on television and at the movies. Doesn’t that family just make you crazy?
Actually, that image of that perfect family can make you crazy, according to many leading family psychologists.
Dr. Morton Orman, author of The Fourteen Day Stress Cure, says that one of the leading stressors of Thanksgiving is having unrealistic expectations about how a “normal” family acts. He and other experts believe that you are much better off lowering your expectations about how your own family will behave at Thanksgiving.

CyberBully and CyberGossip: A New Threat to Your Teen?
Most parents worry about their child becoming a victim of online sexual predators. A much more common and underreported problem is cyberbullying and cybergossip. The iSafe foundation reports that 58% of teens say that someone has been mean to them online; a New Hampshire study indicates one out of every seventeen between 10 and 17 years has been threatened or harassed online.
Cyberbullying takes many forms, but the most common is by using email or instant messaging. The bully sends a constant stream of vicious messages, often anonymously, to ridicule or threaten the victim. They are sent not only to the victim but also to everyone he or she knows. Frequently, the victim provides personal information to a “close friend” in an email or IM. The “friend” then copies, pastes and forwards it to others.
