We’re you a difficult teenager?

I was trying to transition from being a child to a young woman and it was conflicting internally let alone in a society that shames females for their sexuality ,and my father was still quite patriarchal ,my friends were not the greatest,not bad influences per se but more so for my self image and worth and the groups were very cliquey ,I was navigating most of it on my own. More parents need to be considerate and open of the physiological changes that take place,so that they can create a safe space in which they can support and understand their children through that transition ,instead of antagonizing them or shaming them and what not. I think we all learned and I feel for most teenagers because they are often dismissed but they go through a major transition

No, but my mum thought so 🙄

I wasn't difficult but I was quiet most of the time unless when I was with friends. I had grades that were average to a little above average but I'd so miserable and angry with myself too. I'd sleep and keep to myself often. I didn't know who exactly I was and what I wanted; and the world wanted me to. I'd started to drink when I was able, sneak shots at parties and it would feel kind of ecstatic to me. I'd been always been terrible with alcohol when I was younger but I'm not like that anymore

Nope. A neglected one

I was the worst. I got in so many fights and got in trouble at school so much they almost kicked me out of school. I would sneak out every single night.

I baked cookies and pretended I was seeing them for a school fundraiser and I actually used the money to buy weed.

I was a pot head. I did what I want I was an angry little egg

Generally no.But I did get a skinhead haircut at 14 just to annoy my parents who objected to long hair.

Not at all I realised after, but my dad acted like I was. So I always thought I was bad 🤷

Not at all. My parents were strict and I did what we was told.

The opposite, but my mother treated me like I was

No I was pretty easy and independent. Only bad stuff looking back was drinking underage but everyone did back then. I just didn’t tell my mother what I was up to and stayed out at friends...
Clubbing at 16/17 lol 😂 I was never into drugs.

I had my moments. I blame it all on peer pressure.

What do you get when you keep moving around a kid from place to place with little to no supervision?

Then send off to Germany all by himself and back with pretty much free reign there after? 🤔😔

That's just a start.

Yes I was . I thought I was grown and could do grown up things like drink and smoke .. got pregnant at 15 dropped out . Went to jail .. today I look back and just shake my head

I was an active slut now I'm mostly a passive slut 😂

I was a problem child. I was sent to boarding school before my 9th birthday in an effort to fix that and got even worse as a teenager.

I think every new generation stumps the generation before like our parents and grandparents. It’s all about compromise which I eventually had with my parents as I got older. My teenage years were trying to figure things out in a country my folks had just moved us too so I felt like an outsider .... still do because of my cultural differences. Like many I found my way eventually and it worked itself out in the end, I’m pretty close to my parents now 🎀

Dangerous really. Looking back I'm grateful to have survived.

I was, but I had difficult parents. There was a lot of verbal abuse on both ends. Some physical abuse too. I cut school, smoked cigarettes and later pot. Stole the family car a couple of times for joyrides. Probably don't remember even half the stuff I did.

U mm it was so long ago...... but I wasn’t difficult maybe awkward 🤔

Nope I was a angel and nothing has changed now 😇

Unstable family, and being sheltered through childhood led me to be rebellious.

Total saint 😇

No, I wasn't.

No

Not in the least. Too much common sense.
We had fun but were responsible young people.
Despite the good clean fun, the memories were great.

I was incredibly bitter once upon a time, aggressive, defiant, and to top it all off I was a known junkie.

So yeah, I was arguably a very difficult kid.

Not at all. Very sensible for my age.

I was a junkie and crack head. So, no.

Not as such as on the normal way.
My mental illness was certainly taxing on my family though.

Yes ,I was not easy

I suffered from depression (didn’t know that’s what it was then). I wasn’t getting into trouble, but I was rather sullen and given to writing rather angry poetry. 😅

Yes...nerdy
