And yet, fingers fly across keys to a host of new adolescent domains - from texting to iTunes, from chats to anything-on-demand. Every teenager keeps secrets, and if youre like most parents, you worry about what your kids dont tell you--especially when they prefer text messages and social networking sites to face-to-face conversation.
