I promise that there is much more good than bad. We currently have three in that age group (we don't call them teens) and much of it is a really great experience (even the difficult stuff).Originally posted by Thirteen View PostTara

My teen is really, really great 95% of the time. I can see my daughter being more difficult when she's older though.
We haven't had to deal with dating yet, and we're still a year from driving, but my son is pretty damned responsible. The only issues I have with him are keeping his room clean and making sure he takes his medication to keep his depression at bay. The depression stuff was/is heart wrenching.
I also play taxi and have to drive him everywhere! It's getting old. So, in a way, I'm kind of anxious for him to get his license.Heidi, PA-S1 - wife to an orthopaedic surgeon, mom to Ryan, 17, and Alexia, 11.

Our teens are pretty great kids. They just occasionally do REALLY stupid shit, which is entirely normal.Comment

It is challenging....but my experience is that my kids have the same personalities.....just the negative aspects are *really* amplified at times since they've become teens. My oldest has always been my hardest kid and he still is. If I could go back (and I am glad I don't have to....), I would say "I love you" more often and take every opportunity to encourage them and compliment them. Their peers, teachers, and their own hyper-self-awareness (is that a word? lol) will make sure the negatives are recognized. That's my drive-by 2 cents.Wife of an OB/Gyn, mom to three boys, middle school choir teacher.

To be clear, my original comment was literally <sigh>
We're just going through some growing pains. All of us. He is a fantastic kid, but he is VERY 13. It is hard to keep it in perspective sometimes. It is mostly good but there is a piece of it that drives me up a wall. My words aren't penetrating right now so I'm having to play the heavy.
