Quote From: calgaryismeTeenagers have so much pressure and troubles now a days. I have a teenage boy and last year he was stepping over the line a bit. I could see this was trouble soon if I didnt nip it in the bud. I am a single mother and have been since he was born. You have to keep your eyes wide open and be aware of any changes in them and no where they are at all times. I check on him all the time. He hates it but oh well. I am sure if I wasnt watching so closely, he would be in some kind of trouble today. He does only have one parent and therefor, I have to give him all the love he needs. I keep communication open with him as much as I can. These kids are messed up today, society is not helping things any either. We sometimes cause our own problems. Children are always going to be children and they need more love and attention than ever before. Dig deep and do what you can for them. Love them through thick and thin, you always need love and support from your parents. I am not saying that what she doing is right but someone needs to look real deep and see where her issues and pain are.
And I agree, teens need to be WATCHED, god knows.
And I agree that this child has pain and issues that go far deeper than we can imagine, but I didn't think then she was ready to accept the help being offered (I'm curious to hear what Mom has to say ), or wanted it, personally I thought she was there to humor everyone else.
Well, we'll see Wednsday, bgut unless she truly accepts and more importantly WANTS the help being offered, it won't happen. Sad thing that.
