Hi,
I wanted t thank you. I find it great how a teenager like yourself seems to have a good head on their shoulders, and that's exactly how want my 3 daughters to be like when they're in their teens. Sometimes i think that because they are so young (8yrs, 3yrs n 1yrs old) and all girls by he way, that they might hold on to what they consider to be a bad moment or memory in their life. I would hate for them to grow up with any grudges for any reason. I guess my plans to become a reliable advice giver, a good listener and a great supporter is to continue our one on one talks with them. If i feel that i did something wrong I express myself, I'll apologize and allow them to express how they feel and try to show them that i can listen too. It would be great to also talk to u and other teens so that, not only can i place myself in my girls shoes but that i can also understand the difference between teens from now a days. Once again thank you for your advice and i guess your right, by me trying to make things better, at least i own up to my faults and at least i can admit that I'm not always right. And some parents can never admit that to their kids, even if they know they're wrong. So best of luck on your parenting guide, let me know if u need any tips for it. MsPhila
