It is such a difficult age to be. Hard to draw the line between being a mom and also being someone that your son/daughter isnt afraid to come to for anything.
My daughter has made all these changes in her life - she had a steady boyfriend for her last year of junior public school. She was a happy kid. Then tween age set in. She broke up with the boy and ever since she has an attitude where life sucks, friends are backstabbers, dont say anything and you dont get hurt attitude. She is more cinical, more deceitful and in general not as nice as she used to be to people. Peer pressure has reared its head heavy in her mind.
She seems to be on this curve of making some bad decisions - spoke to her teacher and it seems that she has her own ideas and her own mind, but she is very naive when it comes to trusting people and she is very easily swayed to do the wrong thing - she'd rather fit in then stand out.
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem or suggestions on how to be there for them constructively and not just a mom who is on the outside - if thats even possible.
