Parents of Teenagers

I'm a parent of a teenager, 14 year old girl who's a freshman in high school and pre-teen boy who will be 13 in a few months. I agree with you where now it does seem like its the hardest time of parenting. I believe that now is the time that we begin reaping what we sowed.

I have 4 kids also. Their ages are 19, 17, 13, and 12. My 19 year old has an 9 month old baby so I am helping her out also while she goes to school.She graduated in 2006 also. So if you need advice or a shoulder I am here.

Hi, my name is J. & I have benn married for 28 years &

Hi, V.
I am a mother of 4 and I have a teenage daughter in highschool. It is hard to know whether I am giving her the best advice when she needs it which is almost everyday, but it sounds like you are doing a great job by being there for your children. Congratulations on your son going to college that says alot about you already.

Hi V. I live in Schertz I have 3 boys ages 15,20 and 23 I have been divorced for about 4 years now and I thought that my older two boys gave me all that I could handle but I have alot of concrens about the kids in Schertz and surrounding areas we have a big drug problem here and we have grown men selling to our children and we have 18 and 19 yr olds hanging out with our teenagers and helping them have access to all of these things.There is drug dealers living across the street from Handy Andy,behing the Mcdonald's on PAt Booker rd I could go on. I have known 3 children in drug rehab in the last three months from our area. I have a 15 yr old that wants to rebel and I have to no where he is always and now he wants to live with his father and this is not the answer.

Yes, I live in Georgetown, TX. I have 3 boys. The oldest is at UT and the other 2 are in middle school. I guess we are either severely out numbered by the toddler set or we just don't ask for help!!!

Hi V.,

WELL MINE R 24 21 19 NONE R AT HOME RIGHT NOW BUT WHO KNOWS ! SOUNDS LIKE YOUR DOING A GOOD JOB IF THEY R ALL HONOR STUDENTS THATS GREAT ! I FEEL ALL WE CAN DO IS TEACH THEM RIGHT FROM WRONG BE THERE TO LOVE THEM WHEN THEY FALL AND GIVE GOOD ADVICE WHEN THEY ASK ! BE NOSY TO A EXTENT AND ASK QUESTIONS . BUT MOST OF ALL LISTEN TO THEIR CONVESATIONS AND THEIR FRIENDS WITHOUT BEING RUDE CAUSE I THINK WE LEARN WHEN WE JUST SIT BACK AND LISTEN TO ANYONE. I THINK THOUGH THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TEACH A CHILD IS RESPECT, NO MATTER WHAT, HAVE RESPECT AT ALL TIMES.
