The Life Of a Teenager-It Is Hard

By Eric Hartwell 

Being a teenager can be a very fraught existence. Nobody understands you, school is a place where you go to waste your time, and there is a growing realization that you can only have money if you actually go out to work to earn it.

Being the parent of a teenager can be even worse. There are certain things that parents simply need to communicate with their teenagers - although communication at this age is not easy at the best of times.

The first thing that teenagers need to understand is that the parents are not an ATM. Cash comes out of parents in a very similar way to that which happens in a hole in the wall at the bank. Parents are not open at night or at several intermittent periods during the day. There are no buttons to push on a parent but the password "please" does come in handy.

Also parents are not taxi services. Taxi services begin their service with a telephone call and end with a payment. Parents do not provide this. Taxis get paid for their service, teenagers don't pay.

Any item that is lost is where the teenager last put it. No, mother or father have not touched it, moved, or thrown it away. We don't go around moving your gear just to spite you. Just look for it, it will be there. And, yes, you will have put it there, not us.

Being a teenager can be tough. It will pass and you will not suffer unduly
