"News flash: Teenagers dress stupidly and hang out at the mall, consider it part of their identity"

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

LOLZ SAN ANTONIO. Kens5 only exists to make FOX look erudite.

Furry is the new hipster.

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.

It's different when they're your own kids.  Your brain sides against you.

Fair point, but she and I would have to decide we want to have obnoxious things in our home first.

What Roger said.  It's different when it's your own.

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!
