My teens are driving me insane! (rant)

Wow, what disrespect these days. I pay my cell bill and would still have my phone taken away and be grounded if I purposely avoided my parents calls. Not ALL teens have attitude issues, I really don't think its fair when everyone says they all act the same.

I don't think they still make pagers! And, have you tried to find a pay phone lately?

I've said it before on here, and I'll say it again.

When I was raising my two teenagers, I tried to get a bill passed that would remove all 13-year-olds from their homes and put them on a deserted island with all their perfect friend, not to return until they start to become human/humane again when they turn 18. Well, none of you supported my bill before Congress, so you get no support from me now. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

They ARE incorrigible, aren't they?

My son and DIL do not allow the kids to have a cell til they start driving. I'm not sure I would allow it then. For sure, if it was abused, the keys would be taken away.

Heck I would just take the phones away....we can talk all we want to em wont do no good show em you mean bussiness and stick to it....

Sounds like you need to exchange the cell phones for a handful of emergency change.

Im a teen here too, but the way that 89% of teens act is pure disrespect. I was in public, then magnet school for a while, and ended up being put into private. In this "private christian school" I learned what real disrespect is. I was and still am appauled that kids can act that way. Yeah, i know we dont all act the same, but I still say most teens are disrespectful. Its accepted as normal in todays time. Its ridiculous and those of us who actually have respect should get cupcakes and icecream everyday

Did that 2.5 hours ago.

Nada.

That's why I'm so upset.
And it's storming in our area and my chicks are outside and I don't know that the kids are even home to bring them IN! Which is one of their very few chores, helping me with the babies.

I feel your pain, been there done that. Actually it worked very well when I collected the phones, always got an answer after that or a call back within a few minutes.
