Parenting a Teenager

Parenting a teenager is not an easy job. Yesterday, I compared my height with Nikki's, gosh! she's already even with my eyes. She had grown so fast. The last time we checked both our heights, she's even with my neck. Now, I am alarmed. Teenagers nowadays are difficult to raise. Well, of course, the use of internet can be very dangerous for growing teens too, since there can be videos that they should not see online.

But, what worry me most is that there's this classmate of Nikki that often gives her cellphone loads. Hmm...I don't like that idea. Although Suraji, his classmate is also our neighbor and basically they grew up together in the same neighborhood, it is still uncomfortable for me.

I never thought that it would happen this fast, that our baby Nicole will soon be a teenager. She will soon be one of those teenagers that will not like their mom to kiss them in public. Wahhhhh!

Indeed parenting a teenager is a tough job, so what I do, I just make sure that she's busy with her academic and non academic activities in school, so she will not be able to entertain suitors. Grrr!

Now, while writing this post, I can still remember those times when she will still play with her crib. Whatever!
