Teenagers are a mystery even after you have a few and have been one, still they are a mystery. Never during any other stage in life is a person heck bound and determined to destroy themselves and anyone else around them especially parental units. Teenage angst seems like a foreign concept once you hit twenty five, it just seems unthinkable that anyone could act the way a typical teenager acts. How short the memory is! It must be like that temporary amnesia some individuals develop after a traumatic event. It is like a self defense mechanism that the brain has to protect one from the embarrassment of teenage years. Teenagers are seedy and sneaky, the sooner that idea sinks in the better off a parent will be. No one wants to believe that their kid is capable of plotting and worse yet carrying the plot out, but alas a teenager is not really a child anymore nor are they adult, they are a separate dangerous species. Never to be trusted. They take your car and drive it clear out of gas (to include the gas money you gave them in addition to the half a tank that was there before you gave them the money) they run the phone bills up, cell phones, house phones any communication devices are not safe. They eat everything in the house and whatever scraps they leave they feed to their friends. They leave lights on, turn on the heat if it is under seventy degrees out because they live in shorts and t shirts. They leave clothes on the floor in every room possible. Sometimes they even smell. The best defense to a teenager is to get ear plugs, hide the keys to the car, disconnect the phones, better yet let them have the house and go a live in a tent somewhere in the woods where it is peaceful until they turn twenty.
