As far as I remember, it’s tough being one. 🙃 Good luck to you both.

Thank you. My eldest son grew up straightforward, but my youngest is too free-spirited.😅

I recommend drums. Worked great for me 😁

That’s a good idea.

When I put aside the obvious coolness of playing music, drumming is also great for channeling the energy that needs to be released (and teenagers have a lot of it). Plus, drummers totally get the best girls—hands down.

🤣

Amen to that!

It's like the terrible twos over again where they start rebelling against everything. But that rebellion is a test of the culture they live in, trying to find what's real and what's fake. I was pretty hard to deal with too, probably, but I was too busy with school most of the time to care. School ruined me.

That's the other thing, teenagers can only care about so much, and it's usually never what you want them to care about. It's better to find out what it is they do care about than to stay ignorant about it or ignore it.

That’s exactly right. Regardless of my intentions, his own will is growing.
