Being a mom is a privilege, not a right.
"I remember when I asked mom if I could have a second ear piercing . I thought the tiny diamonds and the bigger diamonds below would look pretty — her eyes got real big, and she said: 'ARE YOU HAVING SEX?!' I was not having sex — I was 14 and hadn't had my first boyfriend or kiss yet!""Senior year of high school, my best friend's dad accused him of taking drugs because he was staying out late on weeknights.
What was really happening was we were working a restaurant job after school, and would work until closing almost every night. Then, we'd walk around and walk home, talking stuff through and trying to figure out life.""A lot of times, I see kids getting mad at their parents over trivial stuff that I also had to go through as a kid, but this? This is abad parent.
