Scared? I think teens are adorable and hilarious. Most of my nieces and nephews are teens now and our relationship consists mostly of hugs, texts and exchanges of cash for yard work. Gotta love ’em.

that last sentence scared me….. until I realized that I’m 20 and thus no longer a teenager 😀

Nancy, it’s true. No need to act like, deep down, you aren’t aware of it.

I mean, I pride myself on being one of the “good” teenagers (in quotes because, honestly, none of us are really all that good), and I’m still aware that it rings true. Yes, there are good things about us (*really* deep, deep down), but on the surface, we are scary. So blegh. Rawr. Etc.

oh, Nancy this post was made for you, haha. It wouldn’t be sooooo bad except for the way it’s written.
And i hafta agree with Erin, who doesn’t enjoy a good wallowing? mixed in with some electronic graphic violence, of course.

Judging by her post, that Nancy person above is the exact type person for whom this blog is written.

“Wallow in filth”? My favorite activity! There’s nothing like a good wallow, with a dash of delinquency on the side.

the blog is well expressed but not positive: you’re painting a picture of the undesirable characteristics of a teenager brought up improperly. i think your teenager has succeeded in intimidating and by doing so has managed to get what she/he wants without having to work for it – not very sensible!
being a parent for a teenager is not that traumatic:all you have to do is rewind the time when you were once one! your teenager will appreciate you for that as you might be surprised to learn that your youngsters are just too willing to learn about your past in their own terms.try it.

*grins madly*

But f’seriously, I do love reading your blog. I check it from my phone every night while I sabotage my attempt to fall asleep. Like right now.

-A particularly scary (rawr!) one,
