I REALLY DON’T UNDERSTAND TEENAGERS THESE DAYS.

I know some current teenagers from the day they were born, and to watch them start drinking and smoking and doing drugs at a disgustingly young age troubles me.

For instance: One of the teenagers I’ve watched grow up is a mess. She’s 15 now, planning her Sweet 16 and writes it’s going to be all about, and I quote, “Booze, blunts and bitches”. 

This is not to say I was innocent at age 16, because I was not AT ALL. But what really bothers me is that she’s been like this since she was 13. At 13, I was still playing with my Barbie dolls (and I am NOT ashamed to admit that). Her mother claims she “cannot control her”, etc….This woman has more excuses for this kid, it’s ridiculous. In my head, there is an answer for every problem, and when the kid is this young, he or she would have to go through whatever they were forced into, considering by law, they don’t have any choice.

I just don’t even know how to deal with this crap :/
