'He said it looks like a shrine. Cult like': 29-year-old dad forces his 16-year-old brother to remove all the posters from his room before his 6-year-old arrives

When you're a teenager, the posters in your room are like your identity. At that age, what you love is so important to who you are. You begin to define yourself by the movies, music, and shows you're interested in. When I was a teenager, I was nothing without all the "indie" music I loved. If you took away the posters from my bedroom wall, it would feel like you were trying to erase me. It may be a childish way to feel, but it's a real stage of development that most of us go through. So it's our job as adults not to scoff at it, lest we forget where we came from. 

Teenagers have it tough enough as is. Their hormones are making them feel crazy, school is the hardest it will probably ever be, and you're trying to figure out what kind of adult you're going to be one day. It's no wonder that this is the age when we have the most clashes with the older members of our family. If you've ever parented a teen, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
