Re: Re: Re: 16 YEAR OLD ANSWERING BACK

Mmmm... dont we hate it when kids start thinking for themselves...

When we make a friend, we accept them for what they are, warts and all...

We spend all our time teaching our kids to think, be grownup, independent, responsible and respectful, and as soon as they start doing all that....

Yet we never ask this of friends, we focus on accepting them for what they are...

I heard a line in a movie once.... 'its not that you dont want me to think... you just dont want me to think things you dont agree with.'


hang in there McGee
