When it comes to raising your kids, everybody is entitled to their own techniques. It's nobody's place to tell you how to raise your kids unless you ask somebody specifically for advice. It's a hotbed topic when it comes to raising teens; the "science backed" advice seems to always be changing. "You shouldn't be so strict!" "Parents need to be stricter!" "Teenagers need their own cellphone." "Keep your teens away from screens!" "Teens need to eat more protein and sleep more!" "Teens should only eat raw vegetables and sleep three hours a night!" Ahhhhhh!! It's all so confusing. 

 

Though we are not child psychologist or even parents of teens, here's our advice nobody asked for: Get to know your teen and roll with the punches. Do whatever it takes to help them stay confident and empathetic. If that means being stricter and feeding them more protein, have at it! If that means giving them more independence and letting them go vegan, c'est la vie. You want a teen that will stand up for themselves and others in need, right?

  • Would you say the teen below did just that? Perhaps it was a littler sassier than it should've been, but that's probably the hormones taking over their rational mind and that'll happen no matter what with teens. Plus, that old lady needed to face the consequences of her actions, that's how people grow and mature… What do you think?

    Today I witnessed an entitled old woman get her head deflated. I take the bus to and from work and normally I have my headphones blasting music. Today of all days I had them off but still in my ears when an old woman steps on the bus. Because

  • Agitated Pay8292 OP They did. I'm pretty sure she just wanted to act out and because she thought I couldn't hear she thought she could say whatever the h 1 she wanted. I don't think she was expecting to be called out that savagely

  • RogueGunny I would have just said, "well ma'am, you didn't take the seat when I offered, you said you were young enough to stand. Shall we go to court for defamation?"

  • Own-Individual2019 That teen's response was . She unlocked final form sass and honestly? She said what the whole bus was thinking.

  • woman turned to my son and asked how old he was and he replied politely, but was hard to understand. The woman very quickly realised she'd tried to pick on the wrong person and the people with her told her to pull her head in.

  • Piceaa This reminds me of something from when I was 12 ish. Me and my friend were sitting in the front of the bus on the raised seats above the wheel. I was digging for something in my bag, so not looking up

  • when I heard a loud "Young people there days can't even stand up to offer seats" rant directed at us. I looked up stood up and offered her the seat, "How am I supposed to get up there" complaint. Ugh so she was just complaining for the sake of complaining.
