		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Boooring&#8230;&#8221;
This word has become the ultimate putdown. If a party is &#8220;boooring&#8221;, it is a total disaster. Or if a class is &#8220;boooring&#8221;, the teacher is the epitome of failure.

		<description><![CDATA[I  noticed that I talk quite a bit about having fun and laughter in the home.
I suppose this is because I hear too often from teenagers that home is not a place they want to be.  They are bored at home; their parents nag them; they would rather be out with their friends.
It is understandable [...]]]></description>

Do you remember kind and loving words said to you by your parents? Or was there negativity and criticism, shouting and fighting?
