Scary Teens

Just in time for Halloween, here's my top 10 list for why some adults find teens scary:

10.  Teens can dress funny.
9.    Teens can be opinionated.
8.    Teens can walk around in big groups.
7.    Teens can be silly.
6.    Teens can be big.
5.    Teens can be disrespectful.
4.    Teens can be loud.
3.    Teens can be impulsive.
2.    Teens can be apathetic.
1.    Teens tell their truth.

Most of these behaviors aren't that scary, except for the telling their truth part.  So the vast majority of teens aren't really scary.  Those teens who do the scariest things need brave adults in their lives (to love, support, and provide direction) the most.

Love,
Mom
