Hello and welcome to my blog Common $ense. If you truly care about the success of your teenager and want some information that you can't put a price tag on, then look no further! To begin, my name is Jesse Duckworth and I've worked in the public school system for over 14 years. My educational experience as a "D" to "A"  student in high school, to getting a sport scholarship, and now running a school, in my opinion qualifies me to give YOU advice. I've spoken to teens in the juvenile system and worked in schools with students of various races and nationalities.


The one thing that has been consistent throughout my years in the school system is that the teen culture changes in their philosophies, trends, and even language very often. I realize parents don't have the luxury of taking a class on youth culture but have to learn from experience. Why deal with figuring out everything about teen culture when you have an experienced youth specialist at your service? I'm here to provide common sense tools and methods to stay on top of the new trends, technology, language, and anything else you need to be relevant in your child's life. As a result of being informed about teen culture, you will be better equipped to relate, protect, and hopefully direct your child to a pathway of success.

Trust me, I will be upfront and honest in my blogs. Following the various steps and advice I give will save your family time and a lot of money that's wasted on careless decisions kids can make. Don't allow your child to become another statistic! 

Finally, stay posted for my next blog and put your seat belts on because it's going to be an exciting, educational, intriguing, yet rewarding journey! I promise to be upfront and REAL no matter what. And just so you know, I'm a sports fanatic and tend to use sports analogies every now and then. I promise not to confuse you:)


I encourage you to comment on my blogs or email me any questions or topics you would like me to cover. 


Finally whatever decision you make pertaining to your teen just remember to just use COMMON $ENSE!


Take care,


Jesse Duckworth
