Wonder what's going on in your teen's head? Hormones? Rock music? Boredom? Drugs? In "Inside the Teenage Brain," PBS's FRONTLINE chronicles how scientists are finding some new explanations for why adolescents behave the way they do. These discoveries could change the way you parent, teach, or perhaps even understand your teenager! Check out the site and/or borrow the video from guidance.

How often a family eats dinner together is a powerful indicator of whether a teen is likely to smoke, drink or use drugs and whether the teen is likely to perform better academically, according to a new report from The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University.
