I would not want to be a teen again for all the money in the world... it is such a tough time in and of itself and when the other dynamics come in...it is sometimes incomprehensible.
Hug those bunnies - mine kept me sane when my summer was going down the loo a few months ago... only wish I had them when I was a teen back in the Middle Ages as my childhood was not a good one with divorces, domestic violence, drug & alcohol abuse by my mom and stepdad... they have grown up over the years and I try to think of the tough times as "character building." My siblings and I talk about it to this day and wonder how we made it to adulthood...
On a lighter note, I have chosen a Gaelic name for my newest horse-to-be... my grandparents would be proud - grandma's family was from County Cork. Not sure about grandpa...
Hang in there!
