Having a job with teenagers,
I have realized that I work with the most selfish and blaming people ever--teenagers.
They can't help it, though. It's a process of life. Figuring out yourself is hard work. I can't even blame them, because I did the same thing, had the same personality 5 years ago.
I just hope to see them grow out of it healthily, rather than get stuck in it.
Right now, I guess I just see myself there to help fight it.
To let kids know that life is hard, not impossible.
To let them know that every one's parents messed them up emotionally some how, but everyone gets over it, or should, at least.
To let them know to be honest and take the blame for yourself, not to lie to everyone (including yourself) about who's fault it is.
To let them know they are so cool, they don't have to try so hard to impress their friends.
To let them know that fashion is very unoriginal and expensive.
To let them know that discipline with what you do is the only way anyone makes it.
Unfortunately, some teenagers do not learn these things.
Then, they become horrible, struggling adults.
Shalom.

I don't think its fair to group an entire age group like that.
That's like grouping an entire race together.
Or I think so..
But, I guess I am just a teenager.
i don't think it fair, either. but this is what i have experienced with EVERY person (including myself) experiencing a right of passage, aka teenagedom. I think teenagers just need to realize what they're going through in order to not be a number, statistic, or predictable outcome in society.
I think with loving judgement, we need to weigh it on ourselves. Getting defensive may prove that we are wrong.

I LOVE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH ! {{{HUGS}}} NOW GET THE *#$! YOUR ROOM! :)~
Was it Paul that wrote of the church and it's need for the greatest gift...Love ? Pastor Cliff gave a sermon on expectations and the need to Love one another. He was inspired from this book: http://www.christianpost.com/article/20080820/some-churches-have-it-some-don-t.htm What a great message for us to put into action..because faith without works is dead.
it is quit obvious no matter what a person does to heal when or if they do one thing to defend themselves against a selfish self centered teens it is that person's actions that are wrong. If someone is acting like a bitch or bastatrd or drunkin ass and yelling in your face and talking to you like a piece of dirt what the hell are you supposed to do keep taking it again and again? Teens are selfish and rude and so absorbed into pointing at everyone around them that not once do they look at themselves. It sucks being in a a person's life when all they show you is hate every single day. They blog about how you are this disgusting parent, how bad you are screwing them up,and how you are satan,that you are all wrong and they did nothing wrongat all. they all innnocent. They don't stop to think what they did. This parenting shit is for the birds. i'm done giving and giving and getting kicked in the teeth. I am sure if you had to deal with the crap that has been present you would have lost your frigging mind by now. I have never had a person hate me like that.
