Teen Aged Angst

[vwnate1]

I wasn't sure if this should be added to the crabby old women thread .

There's a saying "when they begin to smell themselves" ~ it means when young people begin going through puberty .

We still have two 15 year old foster boys and it's interesting watching them when they get up or sometimes get home after school .

For no discernible reason they become sullen .

I give them their space and after a while they'll come over and begin talking, their normal cheerful & upbeat selves, full of ideas and questions about life .

One wants to begin working soon, he's been helping me on various jobs for a few years now but always loses interest and flags after three hours or so .
