"News flash: Teenagers dress stupidly and hang out at the mall, consider it part of their identity"
LOLZ SAN ANTONIO. Kens5 only exists to make FOX look erudite.
Furry is the new hipster. :lulz:
Goddamnit. Werewolves ruint too.
Oh yeah I saw this a couple of years ago, I haven't watched that link but if I remember correctly it's the wanna be goth kids with tails?
Also I remember a mom that was cool and said something like "Hey he can do what he wants but in my house the piercings and the tails go"

Wrong approach.
The correct approaches are:
1. Laugh at it helplessly. Teenagers will rebel against authority, but they are helpless in the face of mockery.
2. Ignore it entirely, just to see how far out they'll go to get you mad.
99% of all teenage/20s behavior is designed specifically to SHOW THEIR PARENTS A THING OR TWO, even if the kid demonstrating the behavior doesn't realize it.
For you teens/20-somethings, this is why we old people always smirk at you.

When the old folks shart their spines out everytime you come home for a family dinner and said dinner gets thrown in the wall because of how you look, it is
pretty damn funny to be an early 20s IWANNALOOKDIFFERENT-person.

This is what happens when you resist the teens/20s crap. It causes bubbles in the brain.
You cannot win in a contest of wills with a teenager/20 something. That's why you
cheat. Never explain the rules, and hit them in the dignity.

And if its one thing people such age are very sensitive about its how others view them.
And truth be told, if my kid came home looking like an emo furry I'd laugh my ass off at them too.
Though, lately, other people's children have been irritating both me and Villager so much lately, it's possible that might end up being a moot point.

They don't start out obnoxious, just needy. By the time you get to obnoxious, it's too late.

That's not how it works. You're facing millions of years of evolution, here.
When a kid is born, there are two reactions:
1. The parents/grandparents: HE (SHE) IS
perfect!
2. Everyone else: What an
ugly little lizard!

But we find children irritating now. Since we haven't gotten those parent neurotransmitters yet, we will continue to find them irritating enough to make this something that we might mull over for years.

Oh, that's definitely truth. My cousin's daughter legit looked like an alien hybrid, but she was Nana's direct descendant so it was like, "isn't she so pretty?" "Uh.... yeah nan. Looks completely human." But again, Villager and I would have to decide to get to that point.
Though as I understand it, in about 3 to 7 years that other bit of evolution will work against us.

This is why honesty is NOT always the best policy:
1. What an ugly baby.
2. That wedding dress looks tacky.
3. Yeah, that makes you look fatter than fuck.
These are all statements that are bad for your health.

My children thought I was mildly retarded until they reached around 12/13. Now they hate me, but they have a high level of respect for my ability to deceive them. And they still fall for it once in a while. :lol:

TDRR,
Counseling extreme emotional damage since 1993.
:lulz:
Yeah, that would have worked well on me.
Dad would just get pissed off at my hair and my nail polish. And then he would go and say ridiculous stuff like, "Yeah, that's cool... cool like your dad!" which would get me and my sister laughing at him to his face for like, 10 minutes straight.

Also, he was 15, and that show looks like it was from maybe 1985, before being goth became totally consumerized and cliche.
