February is National Teen Violence Awareness and Prevention Month

In case anyone was not aware, February is now considered National Teen Violence Awareness & Prevention Month. This is a huge deal since most of society wishes to squelch our teens voices from ever being heard.  I know this because I raised four teens myself, Lisa not ever making it out of hers. Raising teens was not an easy task.
I ask everyone who reads this to remember our teens in February...let them be seen, let them be hears. 
Our motto: Tell your teen...they are LOVED!  So many teens forget this or perhaps don't know this.
Do something wonderful for you teen.  Talk to them, hug them, take them out to a special dinner or a movie.  Ask them if they'd like to go out.  (They may decline but I'm guessing they won't)If you can't afford a special dinner or movie, maybe have a movie or special dinner night at home will be suffice.
Anything to make the teen feel loved.  I'm not saying let them do whatever they want.  We're still the parents!  But most of all...tell them they are loved somehow in a way that is special to you and to them.
If anyone has any ideas, please comment with them as I have only touched a couple items.
