I think everyone has had battles ~ Good & bad
I know I have the stories to tell, & actually writing a book called " How to Kill a Teenager" (not what you think) It doesn't matter where you came from or what you have been through ~~ it makes us who we are. Before I blame anyone for how I was raised or what was or wasn't done in my upbringing, I always remember someone out there had it worse than me, made it though it ~ Became successful..
I instill in my kids ~ TOUGHEN up! If someone makes fun of you just say " Uh Okay" & leave it, because bullies only pick on kids who are OVERLY sensitive. They have come home & said so & so called me "bla bla bla" I just ask them are you? & they say "No" I reply then don't sweat it. You are going to hear & deal with alot worse in your life, grow thicker skin, let it slide off, & move on.
Because I believe SCHOOL is a right of passage teaching you how to deal with "idiots when adults", in a professional way. Not everyone was raised as I am raising you, BUT you do need to learn to CO-HABITATE with them in your personal, professional, and social life forever.
My kids WEAR what they want, & are trend setters, are not afraid to make a fool of themselves. One lesson I learned from my dad is the one most important thing to learn in your life is "Don't sweat the small stuff, & everything is a little thing" & "Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself!"
Is it still or forced air?
