Teenagers and Kids: Teenagers these days

Teenagers these days

By prostitott - 04/05/2013 07:22

Today, I caught my 14-year-old daughter stealing alcohol from me. After berating her for half-an-hour I finally said, "At least you're not doing drugs." She gave me a guilty smile and sheepishly said, "At least I'm not a prostitute?" FML

Today, I was telling my teenage daughter about the effects from alcohol, and how she should not give in to peer pressure. While talking, I noticed that she was looking at me funny. There was a wine glass in my hand. FML

Today, I got a call informing me that my 16-year-old daughter had been arrested for shoplifting jewellery. Trying to look on the bright side, I assumed it was for my birthday that is coming up in a few days. Nope. It was a "Thank you" gift. For her drug dealer. FML

Mindblowing

Today, I confronted my daughter about the various drug-associated items I found in her room. She then confronted me about going in her room and invading her privacy, to the point where I forgot the main issue and apologised to her. I just got outsmarted by a teenage pothead. FML

Today, a woman and her daughter came into the store I work at. The girl placed a pair of underpants on the counter, and confessed she had stolen them earlier. Assuming she had already heard a lecture, I simply thanked her for bringing them back. Her mom yelled at me for not yelling at her. FML

Today, I took away my 8-year-old daughter's toy for throwing it too many times. She then said, "I need a beer." FML

Today, my mom told me she's a drug addict, sold my bed to buy meth, and then lectured me about how I should be okay with it. FML

Today, I got home from my tour of duty. The first thing my teen daughter said to me was could she have some money, because mom won’t give her anymore since she got caught using her allowance to buy weed. Not even a "Hello" or tears of joy to see me, just a demand for drug money. FML

I'll make my own way

Today, my daughter is too crafty for her own good: she found out I was planning on driving her to her first date to meet a boy, so she let the air out of my car tyres, removed my bike chain, and even stole my bus pass. I taught her well. Well played daughter, well played. FML

She's not wrong

Today, I reprimanded my daughter for eating too many chips, since it's not good for you. She responded with, "Know what else isn't good for you? Two cigarettes a day." I couldn't even come up with a retort. I can't believe I just got burned by a ten-year-old. FML

When I was fourteen, I did some crazy things, but hey, I turned out fine. Right? Didn't I turn out fine?! TELL ME I'M PRETTY!

Am I the only 16 year old who abides by the law?

I never drank, smoked or did other drugs as a teenager, and neither did most of my friends. You are not weird and you're certainly not missing out on anything except brain damage, embarrassment, regret, and getting caught and losing every privilege you've gained since age six. Wherever there's hype, there's somebody making a lot of money from it. That applies to all the hysteria about teen drug use and juvenile crime. I'd venture that most teenagers are generally law-abiding and sober.

You got some serious parenting to do

Why? In less than a year she'll be able to drive. If she is grown up enough to drive she should be able to smoke. (Assuming weed is the drug referred to)

Alcohol is a drug.... So how in the world would you say "At least you're not doing drugs". And alcohol wouldn't be the drug I'd be worried about the least...

The problem with letting 14 year old girls go out to places is that their ability to make decisions is that of a 14 year old girl. Utterly hopeless. Maybe OP should enforce a curfew?

I'm sorry but all you could say to your 14-year-old about her drinking was "at least you are not doing drugs"??????

As a 17 year, I'm honestly speechless but not surprised. Kids do stupid things and its not entirely her fault. Maybe you need a better relationship with her. Kudos on atleast addressing the issue? I dunno. FYL and YDI.
