Its amazing the changes I can see in the past 3 weeks besides being taller than me he has just matured just conversation and mannerisms are different, the facial hair has really come in we have had so many good talks and I'm glad that he trust me enough to ask me things, I do my best to answer and explain things to him and if needed which i have used we have the internet. Back in my day we had books from the library and encyclopedias . His school habits have even changed he has all his assignments done and seems to like school he says he hates math but he gets A+ English seems to be his tough subject and his electives well he just loves them. Especially the cooking class i attached a recipe he brought home yesterday from cooking class he said it was so good and is gonna make it for me next week

Finally a meeting with teachers that made sense, we got to go to each period(class) as my teenager has them the bell rand we ll proceeded to period 1 all the way to 7 got to see his route to each class, why he cant get to lockers , met each teacher,they explained there class etc it really was good, I felt better and my teenager was very happy to show me , I also learned my teenager helps a girl in his computer class of course your teenager never tells you these good things about themselves I told him I am very proud of him. that was on Thursday , the next day on Friday he has a few quizzes math,english and history the history one he got a 88% on I tell him its not that bad I just want him to do what he needs to do with out any arguments I know hes tired they get up earl for school 530am he goes to bed early at 9p for a 14 yr old boy I think its good,
Really why are these kids getting up at 5:30am to go to school ? this is just insane to me, it makes no sense. My teenager goes to bed at 9pm he is 14 years old because he has to get up at 5:30am then gets the school bus and starts school at 7:20am I seriously think it too early others feel the way I do, When I went to school we started at 8am or 8:20am.
I also feel there's not enough time, when they get out of school they come home , relax for a few minutes with a snack , then time for home work now they don't get to finish all there homework by supper time so after supper they digest there food then finish there home work. By now its close to 6pm and its either time to relax , watch tv, have conversations, or go take a shower and go to bed at 9pm. What if these kids had after school activities how would and how do they do it all? Some kids well most kids really don't like home work and just to get the page done they write anything in it , like mine did last night. I try and be honest and say it like it is, I know you don't like homework who does? but, we have to do it, I did it when i went to school and I also lied and tried all kinds of ways to get out of homework or did not study.But we all went thru it and we all had to do it. I could never see spending all that money for a back pack, well this year first year of High School I knew I needed to do something. He has so many binders and notebooks that its just crazy. I didn't want him to hurt his back to begin with and the back pack he had wasn't really back friendly the L.L. Bean back pack has straps for support click and see thats the one I got for my teenager. There are so many pockets in the front 3 in the front and the third one when unzipped has a place for pens,pencils and calculator , then your 2 big compartments for binders. That last compartment also has a separate space in there for a tablet or even maybe a skinny laptop. There was shipping charges and I got it in 2 days and no special charge for that either so I am very happy with the service and my Teenager is happy too,
Nobody keeps their middle school friends forever.
You'll fail a math test once in your life. Your teachers will assign you seats away from your friends and your parents will assign you to your room when you do illegal things. You're going to get drunk and say something you'll regret. You're going to cry over boys whose names you won't remember in 20 years. You're going to call your friends names behind their back when they make you mad, and they're going to do the same to you. You're going to be on your own once in a while. Your opinions of people will change once you get to know them. You are a teenager, so stop trying so hard, expecting so much, crying so often. Walk with your head held high. Quit talking s**t about people. Take a walk outside. Go to school and smile at everyone, and who knows. You might really make it through. more about being a teenager click that Well I am surprised but he is doing good yes ofcourse I had had to remind him brush your teeth used the ACT But other than that he has been doing good, a couple of times I messed up and accidentally said Hey you want a hersheys bar and he said I cant have that, proud of him for good judgement he doesn't fool around when he knows what he is suppose to do. He will be going for his first adjustment in a couple of weeks I am not sure what the next steps are but so far no problems or issues
