We live in a world where technology is vital and keeping in touch is made so much easier by just the quick texting of a message. But to parents it may seem like teenagers are getting carried away.

"The cellphone has widened the generation gap by providing teens with a way of communicating that is not understood by many parents," says Dr Pieter Streicher, managing director of BulkSMS.com.

Which is how Parents Corner came into being. It's a friendly, no-nonsense guide to understanding the cellphone habits of teenagers.

The website covers issues such as cellphone addiction and talking to strangers in mobile chat rooms, giving parents vital information on what their child might be up to.

"The Parents Corner website will give parents confidence in approaching their child about their cellphone habits. Yet, it is important to remember that the only way for parents to really close the generation gap is to use the mobile technology tools that they're using."

If you're a parent — and your kids' cellphone habits are driving you up the wall — then give www.parentscorner.org.za a visit.
