Most of the teens today are just spoiling out their mom and dad to ask for money to buy things for themselves, whether it's a new gadget or a new toy to indulge with - you can stop begging your parents to let you go purchase those things if you can just work at home with your computer and the internet. There is a lot of proof out there that teens can really make money online and they already have made thousands of dollars without needing to employ themselves to companies but rather just to sit in front of their computer and make money on autopilot!

There are numerous of ways to make money on the internet but to give points and ideas is our target:

First: Take Surveys! A lot of big companies today especially in the United States spend for at least $200 billion dollars just to make the consumers get convinced and buy their products. The money is mostly spent at market research and advertising, and people can make way to earn cash by just taking an online survey and giving opinion about their products and services. You can always decide the time and the earnings you want to make depending on the offers you want to complete.

Second: Build a Website or a Blog; steady stream of income is one of the best way to earn money and you can do this by establishing a blog or a website and make money by monetizing it with advertisements or paid advertisements. Once you have published your own site and you already have gaining a steady flow of visitors and readers to it - then that is the time you can make money by signing up as a publisher to most pay-per-click companies like Google Adsense, AzoogleAds, Yahoo Publisher Network and etc.

Third: Sell Products and be an Affiliate

If you know how to build a blog or website, then you can also sell products and make money by becoming an affiliate member to big networks like PayDotCom, CJ and Clickbank. There are hundreds of products that you can choose from and you can earn money through commissions and sales, and sometimes you can also get percentage through leads - when someone fills an information for the product or just by signing-up for their free trial.

Fourth: Write and Publish Articles

Don't you know that you can also make money through writing articles and publishing contents? You can do this by signing to Bukisa, eHow or Associated Content. You can submit original contents and it can be in a form of text, audio, video and slide presentations. Payouts are mostly done through Paypal which is basically free to sign-up.

At the end, if you don't have computer at home, still the best way to make money is through our Mom and Dad. If your family has its own home business then you can take part by handling some tasks and the good part there is that you both benefit each other whilst making your parents happy for you at the same time. Be sure to deal with your talent fee accordingly.

When it comes to being overweight, kids, pre-teens and teens have it harder. The self-esteem that they build during their adolescent years is carried through to their adult lives. It is even harder for the parents to deal with this weight problem. Not only do they have to force their children to start losing weight, they are the ones responsible in monitoring the progress of the kids and they have to deal with the delicate emotional intricacies that this problem has on the kids as well.

Meal Plan to Help the Folks

Here is a sample meal plan that will serve as a guide for parents to follow for their children's weight loss. You may change some of the food items, provided that they belong to the same kind and you still stay within the recommended portion sizes. The estimated servings per day are 3 for dairy products, 4 for carbohydrates, 4 for vegetables, 2 for protein sources and 3 for fruits.

For Breakfast:

• One large egg
• One piece of whole grain bread, with one teaspoon of butter or spread
• Half of a grapefruit
• One glass of skim milk

For Lunch:

• One sandwich, filled with only three ounces of meat, a teaspoon of mayo, and vegetables. Remember to use whole grain bread
• A whole fruit, like an apple or orange
• A large fresh carrot with non fat dip
• One glass of fresh fruit juice

For Dinner:

• Three ounces lean meat that is not fried, roasted or broiled is better.
• Half a cup of mushrooms
• Two cups of fresh leafy vegetables, with two tablespoons of low-calorie dressing
• One cup of broccoli
• One glass of skim milk

For Snacks:

• Two cups of unflavored popcorn, go light on the salt.
• One glass milkshake

This meal plan would work better if accompanied by an activity-filled day. So encourage your kids or teens to eat healthy and exercise regularly. Better yet, do it with them.
