Raising a teenager is no joke

[satkimania]

Alright, here’s the deal: raising a teenager is like trying to negotiate with a very stubborn little adult who thinks they know everything. You’ll spend half your time saying "Because I said so" and the other half Googling what "YOLO" means.
I try to be cool parents that makes my children feels comfortable, but losing my sanity is inevitable. For any parents out there, what is your protip in handling your teenager?

Totally get it, and currently still on it. Patience and open communication have been key for me. Sometimes, just listening without giving advice works wonders

Sound silly but kinda true.
When I was in high school, spending too much time in my room made me easily feels irritated with everything. Turns out I just need to stay hydrated and going out, even small walks to 7/11 helps cure my mood
