Teen Resource Center

The website for the Office of the State Attorney General of Texas includes an area targeted specifically to teens. The site, http://www.oag.state.tx.us/teens/index.shtml, includes information about leadership, money matters, relationships, and crime & justice. Teens can find information there about such things as getting a job, dating violence and staying safe online, and they can find a list of additional resources for still more information.
