So you have a teen like that? How old is your kid? How strict are you as a parent? Just curious. It is not hard to understand that there are kids like that, it is just that I used to work with teens, and even the "nicest" kids did things and their parents had no idea. Came to meetings and when presented with the situation took their kid's side and made excuses. One set of parents turned the blind eye to their DD hitting another child, and then accused the school of profiling their DD. We all saw her hit, and she even swung at the teacher but stopped before hitting. Parents refused to believe it and even accused teachers and students of provoking their DD.[/quote]

NP.  I have a teen like that. She was basically 40 years old the day she was born. She has minor issues (occasionally talks back, snuck her phone at night. Once.) nothing else. Her little sister is a hellion so we're not in the dark about what our kid are up to. Really it seems like some kids just don't get into enough trouble to be discussed. We'll see when she goes to college. She might let her hair down![/quote]
