I am a teenager myself raising teenagers. I haven't had a clue what hell has been going on for a few years now.I know we've all hit puberty and well, that isn't a good thing. There seems to be alot of "he's touching me, she looked at me?" going on, but I'm really trying to stop doing that. IP: Logged |

they can be exhausting it's true. but the good thing is "this too will pass" and they DO grow up, though it takes a lot longer than most people think when they're starting out!!IP: Logged |

Once I was a teenager. I am just about growing out of the hormonal strops, snappy temper outbursts and opinionated argumentativeness. Chances are my kids (pre-teens) will outrun me. This puts me in mind of a new thread. IP: Logged |

My son, Moonie, is a toddler (I cannot even THINK of him being a teenager yet) but I'm very close with/somewhat of a confidant to Moonie's father's niece, who turned 13 in July. I've known her since she was 11, and it's shocking, SHOCKING, to see how much she's changed since then. I'm not AS uncool as her mother, yet, but I can feel it coming.Things I have recently learned, thanks to her: - "LOL" is not cool anymore. Apparently the phrase is now "lolx." I had the gall to ask what that meant, and she said, "you know, like math!" When I responded with, "like times? times what?" she rolled her eyes at me. Seemed like a reasonable question to me? - Edward Cullen is so great a boy that no real boy will ever compare- ESPECIALLY not a middle school boy. The way to let the world know you are devoted to Edward Cullen is apparently to wear a lot of black eyeliner and one (JUST one) black and white striped arm warmer. - Anything "fun" at a birthday party is uncool. No dancing- NEVER. No laughing- EVER. And the pinata? Are you SERIOUS? Forget about it. If you need her, she'll be in the corner standing about boredly, glaring at you. IP: Logged |

Lolx Aerial; sounds like you got yourself an emo neice in the fixins.Hippichick; Im not really a teenager, I'm 42, but since I have a 18, 14, and 11 year old, I figured if you can't beat 'em join 'em. My oldest has just IM'ed a minute ago to tell me 'how sick she is of all this' what you ask? Well she's been living in her own apartment for a week now, and apparently her BF has the gall to leave his socks on the floor for her poor pregnant self to pick up. **** yeah, she's stressed over socks! ***** The 14 year old has developed a very strange fascination with two things of late. #1= Bob Marley. Yeah, things that make you go, hmmmmm. And #2= whatever I am doing and whoever I talk to on the computer. He's also fond of grabbing my phone and READING my text messages before I can get to them. (I have perverted friends who send me dumb forwards, this might feed the fascination) so most times I have hidden my phone from him, and can't find it myself. My 11 year old is going to a Hannah Montana concert tonight. I will be so glad when this is over because I have heard nothing else but the name Hannah Montana for 3 months. I do not like this Hannah Montana person, for the simple fact she is giving my daughter hours, and I mean HOURS worth of reason to talk/text/giggle/squeal and so forth with her friends. I know that it's cute, but I'm keeping it real here, and it's getting on my last nerve. and CPN, I too am old, and don't know anything, and "you just don't get it Mom, it was different when you were a kid." My Mother thinks its all highly amusing because I was a TERRIBLE child from about the summer between sixth/seventh grade until I somehow managed to graduate. So she got to witness karma in her lifetime. Maybe we will too, if we get out of this alive. Have a glass of wine and watch Jerry Springer or something. That should make you feel better about your life. Temporary distraction is great. IP: Logged |

Gypsee, and allI have just given up...shrugs shoulders, pray, bless them and send them on their way. A glass of wine and Jerry Springer??? Sounds good to me! (or maybe a bottle!) Then off for a drive in my kick ass brand new, black, convertable, 5speed Mazda Miata MX-5---ALL FOR ME!!! 2-Seater, the 17 year old can not drive a stick, so she will not be able to come near "Yoshi," what me and my love have named him....my eldest LOVES sticks, but she already rode in it an feels claustrophobic!! finally something for me!

Sharp car, T -- congratulations on your new ride!! As for the teens, in 2012 tPluto will square my 13yo Aries boy's nSun -- I think it likely the Mayans knew this and for that reason prophesied that in 2012 the world would be destroyed If we all survive *that* transital mayhem, then in 2013, tUranus will CONJUNCT his nSun in the 9th for worldwide fireworks IP: Logged |
