[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 581657, member: 1550"] To me, and I've had two teenagers two times it sounds like typical teen pushed to the difficult child limit with some Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in there (inflexibility, obsessive knuckle cracking, etc). in my opinion typical teen's don't bully. My most typical teen kid, Jumper, who is just a normal, happy teenage girl, has other things on her mind---boys, sports, school--and is kindhearted and would not hurt her brother. If he annoys her, she yells "STOP IT!" or something like that but then moves on even if he won't. Sometimes she says, "He's gets away with so much just because he has autism." But it's not a constant whine. She can't handle overly dramatic people so she avoids drama. This isn't all the time, but 95% of the time. I think the difference between a difficult child and a typical teen (I've had both) is the typical teen is more flexible and more willing to just let things go if they aren't important. difficult child's tend to be drama queens and make huge deals out of EVERYTHING...as well as declaring how everything isn't fair in their world. They also are more apt to get into trouble then act surprised when they do. Look at our archived thread that says "I Think We Ought To Define typical teen." (That may not be the exact title).
