Am having issues with my 7th grader, and it's driving me crazy!
Firstly, she talks too fast. I struggle to even keep up with the normal issues to do with family and home, then she has to add the school bits and it all goes haywire from there. She has this thing she does that she begins a sentence, and she rambles on as if you are supposed to be familiar with what she's saying already; and then she switches to and fro from one madness to the other. I then scream for her to stop.
Then I ask her to start all over again and slowly explain to me what it is she's trying to ram down my brain. At this point you can tell she's clearly uncomfortable, because she has to actually slow down and talk like a normal person.....this is alien to my daughter, it's as if she's gasping for air.....she suddenly develops a stammer, just for having to talk at a pace most normal people consider the human way to talk.
Teenagers are evil......where do they come from? Especially teenage girls. They can be the sweetest and yet the most annoying, misunderstood set of creatures, mine is driving me nuts..but I love her to bits!
