Teenagers suck
That's the problem age, you're in the danger zone.
no kidding
when he was a 5 or 6 he had a bit of an impulse control issue (nothing major, just boys being boys type thing) and one of my buddies suggested we put him in martial arts
so at 6, i took him to take a few teakwondo classes
after 3 classes i asked him is he liked it, and he said yes
i said, if you're gonna stick with it, ill sign you up for the entire black belt program, but that is a three year commitment, and he said, sign me up
just this week he brought the paperwork home, he is ready to try out for his third degree black belt
about two years ago they asked him to volunteer a little at the dojo, and ever since he turned 14 he is officially on staff as a junior instructor
and since his birthday is in February, he will be taking drivers ed this winterim (electives at his school, the first few weeks after christmas break)
since his mom never warmed up to the winter beater i had bought her, i bought her a '18 journey a few months ago and the boy will get her charger
yeah, we're tossing him in the deep end
but hes a good kid, im sure hell make it through this time just fine
