Next Class
Letter to your teenage self: You will be writing a letter to your son or daughter that you will not see until they are 18.  You have volunteered to travel to Mars and the trip lasts 18 years.  Your son, if you are a boy, or your daughter if you are a female,  will need some advice about what its like to be a teenager from their same sex parent.  The only way you will be able to communicate with him is through a letter that you wrote at their birth and will open on their 13th birthday.  What advice would you give them about school, teachers, sex, relationships, peer pressure etc?  This letter should be addressed directly to them.  Please give them a name.  This will be finished for homework.
