I think teenagers are overrated. It may sound harsh but that really is my feeling about that species. My daughter is 14 years old and an absolute nightmare. Everything must go her way or else there is a huge temper tantrum including some really nasty verbal abuse. In these modern times, kids somehow feel that they are entitled to everything and then some. It is Children’s Right left, right and center. And if you are not quite as rich as her friends’ parents, it is your fault that she can not fit into her peer group. I feel like the worst parent ever. There is light at the end of the tunnel though. I have attended a seminar about teenagers recently and statistics prove that at the age of 16 they transform from monsters into human beings with a conscience. I can not wait! Only two years to go!
