We as parents know that being a teenager is a hard time in life, remember we were there once ourselves and believe me my teenage years were strict in comparison to teenagers today, they have much more priviliges i think and usually parents are more tolerant than the generation before them, but having said that it is not always the case, just keep in mind if you are having it tough your parents are having it tougher,and as wise words say just wait until you have your own children,then everything that was ever said to you will all come back and you will understand competely,just hang on in there and before you know it those difficult years will have passed and you will hopefully beable to look back at them and smile and say Geez I made it, and my parents are both reasonably sane still.
