Yeah that would be a good description,how about you?
-
No.
-
No I do not think so. I was a very independently minded teenager.
-
No, not really. I was pretty calm and well behaved. My grades were ok, and I never got into any trouble. I have since made up for it. LOL
-
I thought I was. I thought I was a rebellious and bad son because that was how I was referred to. As I grew older I realized that I was just behaving like any normal boy would toward a father who has hated him his whole life.
-
Yes, I had an alcoholic, ignorant and sometimes abusive stepfather...yeah, I was difficult.
-
Oh no. If I answer this Sinister Cadre is going to call me an innocent again LOL!!! Oh well! I was not a bad teen. I did most everything my parents asked of me. I never got into trouble, mo smoking, no drugs. I have always had a little to drink in our family with dinner coming from Europe. But no getting drunk or drinking without my parents. I never cut class, didn't steal. I sassed back a few times but not many. My dad had quite the temper. Like I said, I was good :-)
-
I was. Big shock, eh!
-
I still am a teenager. I don't see myself as difficult, nor do my parents. I get pretty good grades and I don't drink or smoke (anymore at least :P). I try to get along with my parents since after all they are the ones that pay for everything...It's sort of the least I can do.
-
I would say, all in all, I was a pretty easy kid all the way around. My mother's biggest heartache with me is that I'm turning out to be just like her!
-
I was a wild teen, wish I could go back ,and change everything.
-
No. I was the teenager of a difficult parent. Does that count? ;o)
-
Yes and I'm still difficult as an adult.
-
Only because I had an abusive father. I left more marks on him than he did me. A person can only take so much.
-
I was the youngest of five. The first four were all good, good grades, good behavior, all went on to college. then there was me. Once, when my father picked me up at the police station, he said 'i raised five kids, and you're worse then the other four all put together'. he was right. i straightened out eventually and always felt bad about being so difficult.
-
Absolutentootly!! I was the kid from hell..lol
-
No, I was a difficult toddler and then a hormonal mess as a pre-teen. Once that was over, I was pretty good from then on.
-
In some ways I was difficult. I was an excellent student and did my chores around the house without much prodding. I didn't do drugs (other than smoking pot a couple of times). It was my other choices that made things difficult for my parents. My best friend and I liked to use fake IDs to get into clubs to dance (we didn't do any drinking). We met guys a lot older than we were and that got us into situations were weren't emotionally ready for. My parents' main problem with me was that they really didn't know where I was or what I was doing, and I wasn't forthcoming about it.
-
Believe it or not, I was, but only once in awhile. I think my situation was different from others-----I was "difficult" because I sometimes rebelled against the pressure from my parents and relatives to excel in academics. They didn't know why I acted so "testy" sometimes because they didn't know the stress I was feeling at the time----always competing with other students, especially other Asian students who did just as well as I did. But my parents never "got it." Despite moments of rebelliousness, I did very well in school. :)
-
Difficult for who? For my parents? Not really. For the police? Definatly. For my schools? Definatly. For the people that crossed my boss? Well, only if they fought back. I lived a very strange childhood! And can honestly sat I am glad I am now grown up! :)
-
Generally, no. If you were to ask my parents, they'd tell you that I might be difficult to talk to or difficult to understand, but that I'm generally well behaved and respectful. However, this is only so because I'm so good at concealing the truth.
-
yes! i still am a wild teen! work just seems so boring, bunking off is the solution!
-
I was actually a good kid. I just a had smart mouth.
-
i reckon i was a nightmare
-
In my mother's opinion as a upstanding Christian woman, I was a bad girl. Yet I was academic. I wasn't doing anything that other kids weren't doing, but being the preacher's daughter is its own burden. No matter what I did, drank, screwed or whatever after school, I managed to pull down a full scholorship. (I think this part burned my mother up, because I have become reasonably successful and all her "bad girls don't go anywhere" lectures proved to be untrue.) I am a friggin lawyer and my mother and I still don't talk because she can't get past the juvenile me to the me I am now. Whenever (and I rarely do) step back into my small, Illinois town, people will talk about me and say: that's that bad girl. Her mother's told us all about her. If they get close enough, they find out I am a normal upper-middle class gal with two healthy kids, a house, a dog, and a law practice. No one can believe it because my mother, behind my back, has been describing me as some Whore of Babylon, and in drives a pudgy, be-speckled, lawyer in a mini-van with two kids and a dog. Sometimes old times can't be lived down.

No, I was always a top student and never did anything to get into trouble. However, my teachers were always taking me aside and talking to me about my friends (mostly the school's potheads and metalheads), and how they were a bad influence on me and if I didn't watch it, my grades would suffer and I would "ruin my life". But I just kept on hanging out with the "bad crew" and kept on bringing the straight A's and staying out of trouble. It made me laugh to think that they assumed I was so impressionable!
-
In their opinion yes but in mine no
-
Were? I am one. Oh wells.
-
YES...NOONE CAN UNDERSTAND EVEN I,WHY I DONT LIKE GOING TO SCHOOL.IM INTELLIGENT ENOUGH,FRIENDLY ENOUGH,NOBODY BULLIES ME,IM THE BULLY,BUT I CANT STAND BEING INSIDE THE CLASSROOM.

Not at all but I always seemed to act like a belt magnet.

Honeslty, I think I put my father through Hell for being a teenage girl hitting puberty and my boyfriend being 6 years older than me.. My mother could care less so, I fought back.. I drank, I smoked MJ (ONLY) and Cigs, I DIDNT HAVE SEX though.. I was at least waiting till marriage.. So, was he... But, He got to drunk, too stupid, and too violent with me... I feel bad sometimes for my father what he seen me go through... But, I love him dearly, Hes been the first MAN Ive ever loved and will love.. Just... No matter what he told me usfull things I needed to hear.. He punished me.. But, Loved me I just regret sometimes being in a relationship and having confusing thoughts about love now... Im nineteen and I havnt lived in my dads house for a year and a half..We talk everyday and hes just across town, if I need him. I thank god sometimes that he forgives and loves me still...
-
Most definitly I got pregnant at 16, married had more children he left me with nothing I devoted myself to my kids still am but never found myself.
-
I wouldn't say difficult. I have always been sarcastic and a smart-mouth girl! But I had very strict, religious parents...so there was no cursing or drug use or smoking or sex. :-) Thas has changed! (well, except for smoking and drugs!)

-
My family is messed up. So how could I have not been difficult if difficult was all I knew? Thing is, no one knew I was as difficult and problem filled as I was. I kept a lot of things secret.
-
Yes, I got myself kicked out of a christian school. I've changed my ways:)
-
Who knows? My folks weren't around for me to BE difficult! I never had that opportunity! I lived with a bunch of teenagers and a 76 year old nanny for most of my teenage years. People loved me. My teachers. My peers. Everyone. I had some smokes, did a fair bit of weed, slept around a bit, couldn't back out of a dare so there are quite a few amusing stories, drank at parties...you know...just teenage "stuff". But no one ever called me difficult. I was always very agreeable. If people let me know that the things I was doing weren't good, then I usually said sorry and attempted not to do them anymore. My principal called me into the office when I was 14 cos I came to school hungover as did half of my class cos they all stayed at mine for a party. He explained that if I acted like this then other kids would think it was cool and it might mess up not only my life but theirs too. He was a very loving and reasonable man. I could see his logic. So I tried to be more careful. Yeh. I guess rebellious. But just in a fun-loving mischeivious sort of way...
-
Not even the slightest. Didn't drink, didn't rebel against parents, followed every rule to the "T", and years later I am exactly the same way
-
Yes, and I'm an even more difficult adult.
-
