Let's Talk
Okay mom-
Let's talk!
But about what?
Drugs?
Alcohol?
Boyfriend?
Sex?
Or how about life mom?
About how much I need you.
Or how much I hurt so bad inside, mom?
How about how much I really do love you?
But mom-
Please!
Let's just talk.

Being a teenager I believe that the number one thing a parent can do is listen and talk. Yeah . . . let me guess-My teen doesn't listen anyway. Mom . . . Dad. . We do listen and we do hear. Just sometimes, just like you, we don't always do the right thing . . . we're sorry and we do learn.
Mom sometimes I hurt so bad inside. And sometimes I know there's a reason and sometimes there not one I can find. So mom, that's when I need to be heard. So please listen . . . then talk.
-Your Teenager
P.S. This is how one teenager feels. Please listen. . Because I know there are so many more out there . . . just like this one.
