Better Parenting

Do any of you high schoolers take a parenting class?

I’m gonna be a sophomore next year and I wanna try out a parenting class. If you do take that class what kinds of things do you do there?

For me, it was just an easy class that taught nothing useful… one of my closest friends is a teen parent and I don’t think the class offered in my area even remotely helps with raising a child. There were some interesting facts, but nothing really useful. I’ve heard of other Parenting Classes that were interesting though. Maybe go talk to your guidance counsellor, or the teacher that teaches the class to find out more specific information?
