Whenever I think back to being a teenager, I just remember being shut up in my room, imagining myself dying and how sorry my parents would be at the funeral!!!
In the meantime, they were probably downstairs relaxing and happy to have me out of their hair!!!

And this is why I joke about shipping DD to Switzerland when she turns 14. I was such a melodramatic queen.

@deerylou: I keep telling my mom that I'm going to ship LMW to her when she's a teenager, and my mom laughs and says "nope, I already went through it once, never again!" haha

I used to lock myself up in my room and daydream about growing up and finding a cure for cancer and when interviewed by Oprah and asked how my parents help shaped me, I imagined giving a defiant answer of, "They didn't. They ruined my life."
Drama, drama, drama.

After an arguement {where I didn't say a word because it was talking back and disrespectful} I would go to my room and silently yell all of my retorts to the back of my bedroom door!

Omg yes! I was totally dramatic! I had a boyfriend that I was with, and it was long distance, and my mom would tell me that we should take a break and just enjoy high school. (I was literally spending every waking minute on the computer IM'ing, or texting him) well. needless to say, I would slam my bedroom and cry/scream saying how I would just die without him. Oh boy...I wish I would have listened to my mom sooner....LOL he was horrible! hahahaa

@Rubies: bahahaha... omg love it.
I remember thinking that if I ran away for a few days they would finally get it, they'd feel bad they were so hard on me and wouldn't make me do the dishes every day. Sheesh. What kind of parent makes their teen do chores EVERY DAY. It's just cruel.

I was awful. Well not *that* bad, but I wouldn't want to deal with me. I tell DH we are sending our girls to boarding school when they turn 12.

I was a super low-key teen, my lucky mother. So knowing me, this means that if I ever have a daughter, she will be the World's Most Dramatic Teenage Girl. I dread the day, haha.

@NorCalWayfarer: I BEGGED my parents to send me to boarding school. You would have thought they'd jump at the opportunity

I was awful. I used walk away from my mother when she made me really mad. That's how I saw it anyway. She probably would have described it as disappearing. If we were shopping I would "walk away" without so much as a word while she was in the dressing room. Driving somewhere? I would get out of the car at a red light. I would show up at home hours later and act like nothing happened. She must have worried so much. I know doing that took much more of a toll on her than any fight we ever had. My DD will never do that to me, right?

@mrs. wagon: Ha! That's hilarious ... I was very dramatic as well. I was an only child, so my parents were the only ones I had to unleash the drama on.
I was the kind of kid that turned things around. If my parents were like, "You know, we just hate people who lie about things" ... I'd start crying and say, "I knew it! You hate ME!" ... Then, they'd feel bad and apologize. I would act upset & go to my room with a smile. Such a brat.
We're Team Green right now. Lord help us if this baby is a girl.

@Rubies: Haha! I used to say the same thing.
Oooh boy I dread the day when my little girl turns into a teenage drama queen. She already is a terror as a TODDLER drama queen!

@Mrs. Pen: I was such an awful brat that my mother threatened to send me to one!
I really don't know how I survived being 16. I had purple hair and dated a boy with a lot of piercings. My dad threatened to install a metal detector. My parents were probably losing their minds.
My only one up on Chloe is that I pulled every trick in the book, so she can't pull anything on me!

I was such a sulker. I'd storm up to my room and slam the door- I actually broke the door frame from slamming it so much. I remember climbing out intothe roof and smoking a cigarette because hurting my own health was somehow getting back at them?
Lo is already so dramatic. I'm scared.

Man.. reading this I realize I really failed at being a teenager. I had my share of fights with my mom, but she was the one giving me the silent treatment lol. And they were generally about really stupid things like her getting ragey because I wore flannel pj pants to work out and "that's embarrassing to her." ??
Sorry ma... I still don't think I was wrong on that one.
