[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 591788, member: 84"] These threads are also good in my opinion because they tend to reminds us what it was like when we were teens ourselves..........in addition to some of the stupid mistakes we made along the way. I've come to realize as my kids grew up that socially I had some pretty major issues........things just didn't "click" or make sense to me. In grade school I used to get made fun of for my hair. It wasn't until Jr High when a friend flat out explained it to me that it dawned on me it was because I thought brushing once a day was all that was required........I thought other kids had this "magic" hair that stayed in place all day. lol You know how kids at around the 5th / 6th grades will pick on girls for still playing with dolls or barbies? Yeah, that totally went right over my head......clear to high school. phht Flirting I didn't get until I'd been married a few years and a friend literally spelled it out for me. I was like wth [B]really[/B]?? lol I totally did not get "peer pressure". In fact, I actually still don't. I know the definition, it just sounds stupid and I don't get it. I could come up with a very long list. Which also explains some of the vicious bullying I got in grade school I guess too. I find this really odd since I'm such an observant person and someone who reads body language like an open book. But back on topic, knowing my own tendency that when I make a mistake it's usually something major as opposed to something minor.......as well as usually stupid.......I was less apt to over react when my kids did the same during their teens.
