the 13-16 age range

[LTblue]

I would like to dedicate this thread to discuss people grievances with the way normal, pleasant children become utter tits between 13-16, I was not like that at that age and neither were my mates, I was attracted to women but I talked about other things, i.e. footy, Knight rider, Dallas. Can anyone relate to twattish behaviour as a teen? Should parents do more now? Is it Cameron's fault? Is it Kenwright's fault? should I start a thread when i'm drinking rum? discuss all in here.

I was one utter beaut at that age. That said I still am now.

I'm a sarcastic beaut, I always have been, but an utter tit? nah.

They have access to too much too soon through easily available drink and drugs, are exposed to graphic sex and violence long before they should be.

agree with this, not all teens but you see a lot hanging in parks have cans of Sainsbury's basics ale, shagging in bushes.

My oldest lad has just started 'big school'... I deal with some f*cking scary 16 year old lads with work, and the girls are f*cking murder.. keeping them peeled here - cos do you know what ? He couldnt possibly do as much as what I used to do, and he will get away with [Poor language removed] all !!!

Being 18, I can exclusively confirm that everyone at that age is a massive knob head

More homework, more hobbies.

To be fair at that age I spent my life on my Amiga.

me and my mates were ok at that age, couple questionable decisions but no major troubles. i fond it strange though that in my whole year i cant think of one boy who smpked yet 90% of girls would stand at the corner smoking

Internet mate.. my 8 year old is always on youtube using his ipod.. I constantly have to take it off him.. but they learn so much 'good' stuff online as well.. just make sure the 'chats' still take place.. my oldest lad needs the chats, I even let him read some stuff on here..

I honestly think that teenage girls cause more grief than the lads.

If he's impressionable enough he'll think bumming is an acceptable action on matchday, so I would wind that back a bit if I were you lol.
