I think boys/young men these days are so bombarded with unrealistic images of women that they think these are the norm. I especially agree with number 6.

My oldest became a teenager two weeks ago. I feel completely unprepared for this new, strange journey we are on. All I can do is my best, a lot of praying, and things will turn out okay. Good luck with your own teenager! This is a great post. My oldest became a teenager two weeks ago. I feel completely unprepared for this new, strange journey we are on.

I have a couple of teens and a preteen. I know. Feel badly for me please. Tell me there is light at the end of the tunnel. We're dealing with our 16 year old - not doing well in school AT ALL...and did some other things that I won't go on about here but we're in disagreement as to whether he should get the Christmas we'd like to give him (gifts) or if we should scale it back in relation to his behavior and grades. One side thinks he should get a new pair of sneakers - I won't even tell you the $, video games, a coat and some clothes. The other side thinks he should get a coat and an outfit. Done. Sigh. No solution on that one. Would you like a few kids? Can we rotate? Popping in from SITS! xx Cristina This could not have come at a better time. I have a couple of teens and a preteen. I know.
