MOM: Over the past week we have been busy with several issues. It is the long time of winter where you are hoping for the groundhog to tell you spring is coming soon. A lot of this time is spent indoors because of the cold/snow/rain/exhaustion/lack of funds/you name it. As a result, I have made a very scientific discovery: teenagers are VERY CRABBY at this particular time of year. What is up with this? There is anger at the world apparently. As soon as she exits the school bus, the eyebrows knit in a foreboding “V.”
When questioned about what is wrong, the common answer is of course, “nothing.” Nothing sure does get the teens worked up and breathing fire. DO NOT even inquire if there is homework because you will be met with rolling eyes and steam exiting their ears. So what is the point of this blog you ask? I am looking for comments to enlighten. Being the clueless parent, I am looking for the youth to educate me. Are the IPod earbuds channeling bad energy into the brain? Do all the teens have a “we are angry” rally before coming home? What is the deal?
I guess maybe I am being too harsh but I am a bewildered parent. Someone help!!! Comments?
If you find the answer to this one, let the rest of us clueless parents in on it!
