45 Tweets That Perfectly Describe What It Is Like To Be A Parent To Teenagers

Raising teenagers has never been easy. It is a challenging time when rules must be followed, or there are serious consequences.

We have all heard about the teenage angst that parents often complain about. While it may be a difficult time for all parents, it can be a pain in the neck to deal with these young people's tactics, reasoning, and complaints about every single thing.

Often, it's the small things that make parenting so difficult. However, with the right mindset and some proper planning, parents can navigate these troubled waters with flying colors.

Not many parents realize this, but to be a parent to teenagers, you don't actually need to be the strictest; you just need to be funny, smart, and, above all, light-hearted. Contrary to popular belief that teenagers can be hard to parent, all they really need is their mother or father guiding them through it all. Let's face it, we all know how it feels to go through those awkward stages in life when we were teenagers ourselves.

A lot of parents seem to mistake their teen's angsty emotions for negative feelings toward them, and while this may not always be the case, it can cause a whole lot of issues as they develop and grow. Once parents realize that gentle care is what their teens need, there will be less talking back, sneaking out, breaking rules, and aggressive behavior.

However, sometimes, this just can't be prevented—well, because, you know, hormones and all. Fortunately, some parents choose to take their kids' attitudes lightly and respond with humor. They even take it to the next level by sharing their funny experiences as parents of teenagers on Twitter.

Life as a parent with a teenager to raise is never easy, and we all know what being a teenager is like because we have all been there. There is always this uncontrollable urge to be angry with everyone and everything, and many adults, especially parents, often find themselves on the receiving end of their teen's attitude.
