She's 13. . .yup. . .she's adorable and I love her.
I want to break the necks of her little friends. . .and the boy she broke up with. . .*sigh*
I am standing here watching my daughter go through some of the worst challenges she will face. . .being a teenager is HARD. Sorry to those of you who are saying"oh yeah, it has to be so hard. . . wait till she's an adult and has to take care of herself." Bull. . . Being a teenager, especially one just thrown into the world of Jr. High!. . .that's hard stuff. The girls are evil and the boys a idiots. . .you don't even understand yourself enough to decide what you know or like or love. . . you will swear you are in love a million times. . .you are worried about weight and hair and clothes and saying the right thing and doing the right thing and being the right thing. . .WHEW. . .
...Do it again. . .I dare you. I wouldn't. So how do you teach a girl to stand up for herself? How do you teach her that, as much as she FEELS like she should. . .going with the pack is usually a bad idea? How do you explain to her that you know her friends(or whatever we adults consider these brats) have NO IDEA what is best for her. . .that they have NO CLUE what an idiot choice drinking is. . .
There is one girl. . .this one little brat. . .that talks to my daughter and every time she does I wanna smack the girl in the back of the head for talking to my kid the way she does. . .is it normal to feel this much contempt over teenage girls?? She tells her that she is a chicken and that's ok. . .that's just part of her personality. She tells her she uses people as a human shield and that she should stand up for herself. . . but it's ok cause it's part of being"her age". . .
*Sigh*. . . and it's only just started. . .
Dear God,
Please help me be strong for the next 5 years. . . and for the 60 after that. . . my daughter deserves a mother that won't run her friends over with a car.
Amen
