When we were sent to our rooms, there wasn't anything in there to do. <br /><br />I know I've posted stuff like this before - we were taught manners, and expected to be considerate to others. Yeah, those teen years are tough, but it's just closing a door. "Oh, sorry, we didn't know we left it open" and close it and everyone is happy. No one is angry. <br /><br />For *me* I realized that closing the door is easier than yelling at people. But those doors are being left open all over the place, nice if they learned to close them.wcmartellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18075242897910568801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20291006.post-6841253791271183752011-04-13T18:33:44.945-07:002011-04-13T18:33:44.945-07:00Twelve is a particularly difficult age.

They are rude little fucks, so when they do things like this I explain why we act appropriately and what happens when we don't. Sometimes it sinks in. Sometimes they don't care. Sometimes their parents let them do whatever the hell they want.<br /><br />I was not that rude as a child because my mom would have tanned my hide.Emily Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02163221455899041141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20291006.post-72363866203359266482011-04-13T08:22:39.227-07:002011-04-13T08:22:39.227-07:00"I wonder why kids don’t seem to care about a..."I wonder why kids don’t seem to care about anything but themselves anymore."<br /><br />Here's a clue: They never did.

How about raising the kids to respect others and follow the "Golden Rule". But that's the parents job not yours. Just close the door.<br /><br />Cunningham, there was a spec by Blake Snyder that sold a while back called "Granny". It was about a psychotic grandmother who killed rude teens who didn't follow the rules of good etiquette. I think the tag was, "She's off her rocker."<br /><br />Maybe Bill could play a grandmother?

Thoughtless girls piss off the wrong guy at the local coffee shop. Murder, mayhem and other hilarity ensues. And the audience roots for the killer because these teens are douchebags. <br /><br />"They pissed off the wrong guy."Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137025404327426886noreply@blogger.com
