This is one of the most compelling reasons I have for not reproducing... I'm terrified that I'd have a kid and it would end up just like me! I was a pain-in-the-ass, strong willed child [but thankfully turned out relatively well behaved due to my parents' effective discipline

LOL], and my teenage years were HELL. No joke. I don't know how my parents dealt with me through all of that... I wouldn't wish what I went through on anyone, it was that terrible. All I have to do is go and read my journals from that time and it scares me sh*tless, that someday I could have a teenager with a mindset like that on my hands.
I guess I'm just not very optimistic on that subject!
