[quote=Anonymous]I teach HS. The biggest thing I've learned about teenagers in this role is that they think ENTIRELY about themselves, no matter how sweet / wonderful / smart / lovely they otherwise are. Sounds like this girl is concerned about -her social life -her academic life -sharing her stuff -sharing her house -sharing her family It's only a week. She needs a little perspective. She needs to be reminded that there has to be give and take in life. Teenagers do a lot of taking. Time for a little giving. And she needs to know up front that she needs to be gracious about it, lest she embarrass her mother.[/quote]
