If you have not visited the FCC Parent's Place portal, it is worth a visit. There is information about television shows, Internet Safety, obscenity and profanity, obesity, and more. I did not know that there were ratings for television shows. I guess I have not noticed or even know where to look.
Nutrition and obesity is a hot topic for today's teens and this site offers good nutrition information and several links to pursue. If that doesn't help your teen, have them watch the movie "Super Size Me".
In addition, there are hints about how to block certain television channels on your home tv. You may want to double check with your cable provider to be sure this method works on your cable system.
More than anything, read, stay involved, check what they are doing and keep the computer in a public location in your home.
