I myself am a mother of three. Two of which are teenage girls. I once was a teenager and hated every minute of it. I would like to know what teenagers go through these days. Even though I have a great relationship with my girls they don't tell me everything and sometimes I find out to late.

I have found that as a teenager, I do not have it as bad as most. Most teenagers these days seem to conform to the "I have to rebel from my parents" standard that has been set for us, but I have fortunately found myself within a group that is less conforming and less more emotionally mentally mature. Although our sanity is rather sporadic, and we're oft given stern or condescending looks from our elders and peers, we have more fun than everybody else (and certainly spend less money).
The focus of my concern now, if you wanna know what I'm going though, would primarily be my grades. I don't have as many A's as I'd like, and if I want to take an AP course (Music Theory) Sophomore year, I'm gonna have to get my grades up. If I have enough A's Sophomore year, I can take AP Psych or Music Technology (an Academy course) when I'm a Junior! Also, I might be allowed to transfer to a Japanese class in another county at that point, so instead of taking three years of regular Latin and then AP Latin, I could take the four years of Latin and also use Junior and Senior year to take Japanese.
The only problem with that is my tendency...to...distract...
...myself...
...
...with other interesting things, like Rozen Maiden. That anime is great.
Er...I also know that many teenagers are preoccupied with fashion over grades...I'd just like to conclude that I'm not one of them. I'd rather buy from Amazon than from a store. sweatdrop

My girls have psyco teenage behavior and they can really drive me up a wall. I just do not know what to do with them sometimes.

Shadowsmom Well it seems you are so on the right track and have yourself together. My girls have psyco teenage behavior and they can really drive me up a wall. I just do not know what to do with them sometimes. I suppose so. I need to get less distracted with Gaia, though. Also, I really need to get into that school I'm applying for. Part of their premise is a structured schedule, which would prevent me from distraction.

To me it is hard to be a teen. I am very close to both my parents because now a days I think that kids my own age are expirementing too much and not being their selves. I do tell my parents all of the stuff I am doing and who I am hanging out with and what we do when I am with whoever. I dont do anythin that my parents dont approve of because I dont want to loose their trust. I honestly dont care if people who I know dont want to hang out wiht me because I dont like what my generation of teens is doing.

For me it was relatively easy being a teen though I still am one but I'm about 2 to 3 years shy of 20.
I have had mature behavior since I was young.
I don't have many problems.
I get along with my parents fairly well.
I do have my rebellious moments.
I have periods of strong depression.
I have periods of extreme insanity.
I don't take medicine for it yet but it might not be to long before I will.
I don't conform very much to anything.
I have my adult moments and my childish moments.
I haven't driven my parents up a wall yet but I'm sure I will someday soon.

misfit_of_the_shadows I do have my rebellious moments. I have periods of strong depression. I have periods of extreme insanity. I don't take medicine for it yet but it might not be to long before I will. I don't conform very much to anything. I have my adult moments and my childish moments. Ahahaha...that sounds like a typical teenager description to me...although I must add an intelligent one, because there are a lot of teenagers who would say, Quote: I do hv my rebelous M0M3|/|75. ... I'm starting to scare myself. I'm going away now.

I... listen to my dad, mostly. We get along much better than I get along with my mother, though I'm assured that's normal. But I've also been assured that the fights I have with my mother can be far from normal. I've got a pretty unstable home situation.
I'm currently focusing on fanfiction, math, science, and CC. I'm different that most teenagers, I think, but I don't really know because I go to a special, awesome school where nobody conforms to anything: we call our teachers by their first names; the juniors tend to play texas hold 'em in the hallways (sometimes for money ><;; ) when they don't have classes; one senior brings a lawn chair to school and sits in it in the middle of the hallway wearing sunglasses; and for the past two years, our P.E. teacher let us play DDR for our P.E. final. My friend frequently brings her laptop and PS2 to school with her, and we play with it during lunch, TA time, or some other convenient freeblock. Frankly, my school and everyone in it is just plain weird. So that makes it easier for me to be myself.
I try not to do things my parents wouldn't approve of, but sometimes I don't tell them everything anyway, because I feel it's none of their business. Parents need to ease up a little around my age--15--because teens start wanting to lead their own lives, try things that their parents wouldn't necessarily let them try just to see if it works, and fall a little if it doesn't. I'm not talking about trying anything particularly dangerous, either, like drugs or sex or alcohol. Teens need to make their own life habits. They need to experiment with when they need to do their homework, hang out with friends and see if they can get work done at the same time, and spend time alone without being bothered by anybody. They get tired of their lives being led by someone else. Some rules need to be kept rigidly in place (e.g. you will get back before midnight) but most can be relaxed (e.g. do your homework if you need to). If things start going badly, the red tape can be tightened up again. It's a delicate process, but remember also that teens need multiple chances as well as a looser structure. Chances can be spaced far apart enough to make things irritating, but they need to be given. [/rant]
Um... yeah. Basically all the stuff I want to say to my own parents.... sweatdrop Good luck.

I don't think that teens really have it that hard. I mean all we have to do is go to school, get good grades, and go to work(I you work). Personally I'm pretty different then most people at my shool. Most people are either pot heads or like to pretend that they're ghetto, and half of them are in the extremely dumb classes that try to teach you what 2+2 is.
I am a senior right now and the only reson I'm still in school is because I didn't take two language arts classes my freshman year. If I would have done that I would have graduated last year, but now I'm taking all my classes at the state college, and the only thing that I'm finding difficult as a teen is trying to find a college that will let me double major in music performance and aerospace engineering.
