Text 1
A tween is a child between the ages of 9 and 12. A tween is no longer a little child, but not quite a teenager. While a tween is not yet in the midst of adolescence, he or she will face a variety of obstacles in the next few years, including transitioning from elementary school to middle school, approaching puberty, increasing responsibilities, and being exposed to dangerous behavior by their peers such as drugs, sex, and more.
Even though the tween years can test the strength and patience of a child and parents, it doesn't have to result in a game of survival. The key to a healthy parent- tween relationship relies on a clear understanding of the struggles and freedoms the tween is now facing daily. Tweens face some of the same social issues as their parents did years ago. However, modern tweens have new media issues the parents never experienced at that age.
Due to their enormous access to information through new media, tweens behave much like teenagers did a generation ago, and are simply growing up faster, often faster than their minds can keep up with. That's why cyberbullying and cyberaddiction are prominent among today's tweens. Tweens don't have actual phone conversations anymore. They just text each other.
While addictions can lead to temporary communication breakdowns, cyberbullying can literally track a tween through life. Tweens today do not get the grace of having mistakes forgotten, for the Internet and social media sites leave a permanent trackable record of what tweens say and do for a long time to come. Kids say things online that they'd never say in person gossips spread much more quickly online, and pictures are posted for all to see.
This is another reason why adults need to keep up with the tween's technology usage. Parents unwilling to dabble online can end up with a major disconnection between themselves and their children. Understanding the challenges in front of your children can help you maintain a good relationship and help the entire family adjust to the children's social and emotional changes. Parents need to recognize that their role is shifting it is becoming less about managing and more about guiding.

Rainforests are defined as dense forests with high amounts of annual rainfall, often located in tropical regions. There are two types of rainforest: tropical and temperate. Tropical Rainforest is often located between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer. Regions that have Tropical Rainforest include Brazil and northern South America, West Central Africa, India and Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and Northeast Australia. Temperate Rainforests are located in several regions across the world including the Pacific Coast of the United States and Canada, and various regions of Europe, Russia and Eastern Asia. Temperate Rainforest may often have more coniferous trees such as pines, firs and redwoods, whereas Tropical Rainforest contains more broad-leafed trees.
It is believed that over 50% of the world's species of plants and animals are found in the rainforest. Amazingly, only 7% of the total land surface on Earth is covered by rainforest. On average, there are between 20 to 80 different species of trees per acre. There is also a wide variety of animal life found in the rainforest.
Many of the animals have special adaptations that allow them to live in the tropical conditions, but they would not survive outside of this ecosystem.
There are also indigenous cultures of people that live in and depend on the rainforest. Some tribes have had little contact with outside civilizations, while others seek to legally protect the lands on which they live. These cultures have adapted to the conditions of the rainforest, and have a deep understanding of the ecosystem.
They often have knowledge of medicinal herbs and plants, and understand how to cultivate rainforest land without upsetting the balance of nutrients in the soils.
Much of the world's rainforest has been severely impacted by human activities.
These activities usually include deforestation for the purposes of logging, growing crops, or raising farm animals such as cattle. As the population of the world continues to increase, the amount of deforestation of the rainforest may also continue to rise. Unfortunately, we are losing many species of plants and animals found in the rainforest due to these activities. Potential medicines that have not even been discovered yet may be at risk of never being found due to deforestation.
Many rainforest animals are endangered due to these activities. Cultures of indigenous peoples are also at risk of losing their way of life.
