Teenagers are a confusing lot these days. My sister-in-law’s’ kids are barely into their teen and they are already dating. There was once she found a boy at her home kissing with her daughter when she sneaked up on them on her return. They werent aware of her as they were to caught up with each other. Boy, you should have heard her rant to my mother-in-law when she came over.

Teenage years are also a time when as a parent, we need to handle them more delicately. Their bodies are changing, hormones are raging. They get emotional easily and some can be rebellious too at these age. Another thing is parents’ expectation of their kids are also high these day. This is especially true when it comes to their academic achievements.

I’ve seen many parents drilling into their children the importance of getting only As in their studies and a B is still a no. Huh? If i were to hear that from my parents when i wa s a kid, i’d be stressed too. No wonder kids are depressed these day. A depressed teen is difficult to handle. They will withdraw into their shell and live in their own world.
