i'm a teenager too, i slept at 9pm -6am for school, but still i feel so sleepy. and why do others sleep at midnight or so, and always complain about early morning, when they have a lot of time to do homework, and chores, and get some sleep. this is for my project for persuasive paper about this controversy. i want a lot of opinions to anyone. pls help.Why do teenagers hate waking up so early in the morning?
I don't believe its getting up early. I think its knowing what your waking up for. I mean, if you were waking up early to go to a party you'd be up out of bed, but for school, you'd rather sleep.Why do teenagers hate waking up so early in the morning?
the instinctual pattern of sleep for a human is around 3AM to 11AM
It takes a very long time to adapt to the 11PM-6AM sleep schedule that people must follow
Here's a good article.
I have heard that the internal clock of an adolescent does not Fully wake up until 11 Am..

Why do teenagers feel the need to use internet jargon all the time?
I honestly can't understand it.
I had a high school girl come up to me and say, and I quote, ';Omg I love your nose ring! Where did you get it, JW?';
I almost punted her out the window.
Anyone have any thoughts about this?Why do teenagers feel the need to use internet jargon all the time?

Teenagers?
When I was young I gave my mom so much grief by cutting school %26amp; hanging out with the wrong kids. Now I have a 14 year old daughter who I expected to do the same. But she really cares about her grades which I'm grateful for, but she doesn't like going out with her friends on the weekends. Don't most teenagers try %26amp; get out of their house as much as possible. I'm not in the best of health so I think she doesn't want to leave me. How do I convince her that it's ok for her to have a life of her own %26amp; not worry about me all the time.I'm so grateful to have a daughter like this but I feel like I'm holding her back from the things that teenagers doTeenagers?
im a teenager right now. %26amp;%26amp; i no ur probably expecting an adult to answer you but im experiencing teenage years at the moment. i totally know where ur coming from with the whole not knowing why she doesnt want to hanggout with friends %26amp;%26amp; etc. but if ur in bad health she probably thinks that the day she decides to go out with people is the day that something will go wrong. i think the problem is that she is a little insecure. she probably number one doesnt want to get in trouble with you in bad shape and all and number 2 probably feels bad about leaving you here alone when in these comditions.i understand that you feel you are holding her back. i am extremely sorry that you feel that way but i think if my mother was in ur state of conditions i would feel bad about leaving her too. so i defintly agree with your thought of her not wanting to leave you. she probably also doesnt want to put pressure on you if ur in bad health. she probably only wants the best for you and i know that u only want the best for her also. If she has a lot of friends or peers that she hangs aruond be grateful for that. because its the wurst feeling in the world to feel as if u dont have any friends. but i think shes trying to ake you her main focus instead of her friends and social life... im sorry if i didnt answer your question. but i tryed!
try to be thankful though for the relationship tha you two have just try to have fun with her when you are with. because when your gone or when shes gone your gonna regret it if you guys werent close. believe me. so just try to enjoy her %26amp;%26amp; enjoy that shes around instead of seeming like you wanna push her away. the best of luck too you...鈾?br>
鈾egards...c.n.t.Teenagers?
have you tryed telling her to invite her friends over, or maybe even telling her than she can have a party. when she does she will realize that you want her to have fun and that she enjoys having fun with her friends.
i was never like that as a teenager either. we shouldn't stereotype.
give her a chance to figure it out but if doe'nt tell her or growned her!
I think each person's character is different ,so her life style also different with other peoples, your daughter is a introversion's girl, if she feel enjoy I think is OK.
let her know exactly what you said here, tell her that you appreciate her loyalty to you, but that you do not want to be a burden on her and want her to have friends--see them and have fun. Perhaps you are reading too much into this and she is really a home-body who enjoys the company of family, afterall there's nothing wrong with a family oriented person. :)
no not everyone is like that there are some good and bad kids, God created good and evil
She'll go out with her friends as time passes. Maybe she is just not ready yet (shy or not sure what to expect)
Sit down and talk with her. Ask her what kinds of thigs she likes to do. She may just be the type of person that likes to stay home. My daughter is.
Hope you feel better soon.
That is really sweet. What a nice daughter! That being said, I think you're right. She needs to be a teenager. Maybe just talking to her about her concerns would help. If not, then maybe you could find a friend to hang out with sometimes and she would feel better leaving you with a friend than alone.
She's a late bloomer, I think. Just explain to her heart to heart that she can enjoy her life without worrying about her mother. Dont preassure her to go, though. Just slightly encourage her, but, she'll hate it if you nag. Good Luck!
first of all good luck with your health, just pray....
and be happy you have a great daughter comparing to this crazy girls out there so sleezy and dirty even starting with 12 its horrible of course she has to have contact with people why dont you invite one of her friends over or a girl from school
maybe you could have a conversation with the girls parents to invite her over like a little setup not in a bad way but just to get her out a bit
organize a little get together with the people she likes or you think would fit her.
good luck and get better
Not every 14 year old is wild , and they shouldn't be . Count your blessings and let her know you appreciate and love her.Gods' Grace made her who she is , for reasons we don't question.
tell her that you can go out with your friends and have fun and that you dont have to be in the house all the time . just to be safe always
list of all, cherish the fact that she cares. It is never too much for someone to care and give time, love, and attention. My Dad has been very ill,(my step-Dad, Dad none-the-less) and it has been worrying me because there is so much distance between us. Just be grateful that you have someone close by who cares.
atfirst tell her if she wants to go out your having company over that mite be a start then she mite not be so worried about you you have a doll she love her mom
Tell her what you just wrote here except for the I'm holding her back part
Why are you pushing her to go and hang out? You should be thanking yr lucky stars to have a daughter like that! Smile, MOM!

Teenagers!?
My son has finished his exams, he is 16 and has now left school. What do you think is the best time for him to be allowed out till? He says all his friends have to be in at 11pm on weekdays and 12ish on weekends. I dont know what to suggest as an appropriate time.At the moment he has to be in about 10-10.30pm. Any ideas to keep a happy stress free home?Teenagers!?
He is being pretty accurate at what his friends say, so I think you can trust him, because he did not exagerate them!
I'm a father and those were the time guidelines I allowed!
BRTeenagers!?
I'm 14 and my curfew is 11:30 on both weekdays and weekends! He might like that because he can be out later than his friends for 4or5 of the days even though 2or3 of the days he's in a little bit earlier! I also earn 3 points everytime i make curfew by atleast 10 minutes and when i earn 30 points i get my curfew extended a half hour on a day of my choice!
Just hanging around he needs to be in at 11 no matter what day it is.
Party or special events no later than the hour of midnight, except if there is a prior arrangement made. Does he carry a cell phone ? Probably check in at 11. This is not to make him feel like a baby, but for his safety these days. Again the times depend on where you live. You don't want him getting in with the wrong crowd. The wrong crowds are usually the ones out past 12.
I think 11 is late for school days. He shouldn't be allowed out every day of the week. Tell him he can be in by ten weekdays. His drivers liscense is probably limited to 1am. So make sure he is always in by then. I'd say 12:30 is a good curfew if he is well behaved. I would start out at midnight for weekends. Tell him if he is late even once, no excuses, it will be lowered 30 min each time. If he goes a month with out breaking it you will raise it to 12:30, and if he goes 6 months, 1am. Make sure you always know where he is and who he's with. 16yr old kids can get into a lot of trouble.
11-12 is good for me, unless there's a party I want to go to, then I like to go in at like 2am. I'm 14 by the way, so for him, maybe a little more.
Hope I helped.
Ask yourself how mature YOU think he is. If you let him stay out as late as his friends, can you trust him not to stay out later? I'd also want to verify that his friends are actually allowed to stay out that late -- by calling their parents and asking them directly. Teenagers tend to say ';but all my friends are allowed to do this, why can't I?';
My mother always checked with my friends' PARENTS instead of taking my word for it.
OK this is what to do, first you check the town curfew then from that you see if your kid is behaving well and if they are then you can let them stay out later about a half hour. but you tell him that if he does somthing wrong he will go back to the original time he had. you can keep adding on 30 minutes if he is good untill you get to the towns curfew. he can also come home late andcome in as much as he was late the next day.
i hope that help!
I would say if you can trust him bring it to 11:00 and see how that goes.I would still want him to check in at this time of night. then in crease it again in a couple of weeks as long as he is still taking care of his stuff. I woulndn't do something just because everyoe else is doing it. You have a lot of parents that dont have a clue where there kids are. Good luck
Well it depends on where you live but 10-10:30 sounds good to me.
I didn't exactly have a curfew but the time I was to be home depended on what I was doing. I may be old fashioned or overprotective here but I wouldn't just let my kid leave and not know where he/she is going. I think making a 16 year old go to bed at 10 or 10:30 when he's not in school is overkill. Even if he has to be home by 10 or 10:30 I'd let him stay up later.
I believe he needs to be in at 11 on weekdays and 12:00 or 1:00 on the weekends
Oh God 10!!! Him staying out until 11-12 is reasonable. I never had a curfew but my parents did insisit on me being home at the latest around 1 am. I respected it and was home by 12:30 unless something came up then I called them.
