Question by Stacy: Teenagers…. Thoughts please? 10 points?
Teenagers are obviously messed up these days (not all of them.) actually, I’m a teenager but so many people I know bother me!
Okay so there is 3 types of parents kind of.
1) they don’t care what their child does and says “oh they’re just teenagers! ” and stuff
2) they spanked their kids when they were younger (even as a last resort) and it just causes them to rebel, hit other kids…and leads to depression and alcohol abuse :(
3) a good mix
How come there is so little of the third type of parent???
