[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry if some parents find this to be rude or offensive. I am 14 years old and yes, I'm a teenage boy. You might be thinking to yourself "well what does this kid know, he is only 14." And I don't know everything but I do know that there are always two sides to a story. My mother is a single parent who has been for about 13 years and she never has had any child support to help and my father doesn't even have parental rights. Even the Sony Vaio laptop that I am typing this from was paid for with her own money. She has always had to support me and now she even is my teacher because I started homeschooling this year for 9th grade. So I know that it isn't easy being a parent seeing her have to go through hard times and trying to take care of a kid when your the only source of income. So I have had to learn to be a mature, independent kid from a early age and yes, I sometimes wish I was different. But things happen for a reason, and I have learned to just go with the flow. And so even though I am a loner and I hardly joke around with people, and few kids in middle school liked me does not mean that my mother went wrong somewhere with me. And that doesn't mean that she was not involved with my life because she was, but she still had to pay bills. All I ask is that if you read this whole post, that you give some thought before you make judgments about other parents thinking that they are not involved with there kids just because of how there kids act. And don't steer your kids away from kids like me because for all you know, we might just be as likely to steer away from your kids because they joke around to much. So just remember that there is always that hidden side to everything, and every kid and teenager is different. P.S. My mother did supervise whenever I had friends over and she has take great care of me over the years.[/quote]
