I'll tell you, the teen age years are defiantly the worse.
People use to tell me that and I'd think, no my son is so good he would never do this or that, well NOT! He's driving me nuts with his changing moods.
Max is 19 and a good kid, but recently he's saying how he hates college, and hates living here, and hates his childhood, and hates his grandmother, and hates everything. He originally majored in Physics, and engineering...Yeah it's hard! To you and me, but Max just breezes through it all like second nature, I had no reason the believe he wasn't happy. So he did a year of that grueling work than decided it wasnt' for him. (to much work he says) That's fine but now to find out what IS for him.
I suggested Accounting, since his a mastermind with numbers, math, and finances. Just a suggestion, since he came moping into my room with a 'Poor me' attitude. I gave him the usual story that he has to get some kind of degree if he wants to make something of his life....So I suggest accounting, He rolls his eyes at me, says he doesn't want to do that either. Everything I say he doesn't want to do, than he says I don't help him figure it out!!
He claims that he hates college, but I know it's because he hates writing like he always did even as a little kid. He's doing an English class which requires major writing. He got a C+ on a paper, and he expects A's all the time, so now he claims he can't even do writing.
What ever I suggest he mocks me. Says I don't know anything about this stuff!! lol. I don't know what to say to him anymore. It's like since he turned 18 he's another person.
Is there anyone with teen-agers, or anyone who is a teen who can help me relate? How long does this moodiness go on??
