RE: ADSactly Life: Who Would Have Teenagers?
I can totally see option 1 happening. He got caught up in the pack mentality of the humiliation of the guy being made to say sorry and was found later and attacked because of his words. It goes to say, you should always listen to your parents. Teenagers often believe they know better than the adults in their lives. I know my teen tries my patience at the best of times. They are a challenge, to say the least. As long as we are there to support them and their mistakes are not dangerous or life-threatening we can educate them through the mistakes. For the young man inthe story he made a dangerous mistake, unfortunately.
My 7 year old already thinks she knows best, it is already a battleground. But she loses out on things because of it. Hopefully, enough for her to get the picture.
I sincerely hope no dangerous mistakes are made. It will depend on a lot of factors. One great one at the moment is that she is a complete angel at school. Long may that last.
It is funny how sometimes our kids are more difficult for us than for others. It’s great to hear she is doing her best to please her teachers and do well. Our kids know how to push our buttons and there is a different emotional connection (dependence and expectations) and kids are so good at pushing us to the edge for what they want.
