| My son still includes us in his discussions, and we still matter. |

| This is a tough one for me right now since my teen got in a bit of trouble at school and is on a ten day suspension. But I am proud that he came forward and admitted that he had done something wrong and was willing to take the punishment. I know that sounds strange, but I have known some kids to deny things so much that it causes more problems. |

| I am proud of my teen because she is still in school. I am proud of my teen because despite her abuse when she was ten, she has held her head up and kept going and not let that effect her in any way. I am proud of my teen because she has goals for her life. She just doesn't know how she is going to get there yet. I am proud of my teen because she is not a teen mom. I am proud of my teen because she is a leader in the making. |

| My teen has been a runaway. I have caught her with a boy smoking weed in my house. She has drank. I am dealing with the attitude problems and the talking back. She wants to stay gone till all hours of the night. I am having these problems but she is going through a phase and it WILL get better later on down the line. I know this in my heart and soul. I will always love and care for her no matter what. She needs me. I am not going to turn my back on her when she needs me the most. I can't do that. It is not right. She needs my love and support right now and that is what I plan on giving to her. At the same time she does need boundaries and consequences that I have to set or we can work together where she can set her own. |

| I am proud of the fact that my son is starting to make better choices for himself instead of shooting hisself in the foot! In the past( and sometimes still, of course) he has not been making the distinction that everything he is doing is either going to benefit him positively or not and that the choice is his and he will have to reap the consequences. So I guess basically he is starting to think more before acting..although I know we still have quite a ways to go..but at least it's a start! |

| I am proud that my son is very loving still. He will out of the blue tell me he loves me or give me a hug. He does the same with his baby sister. He has no problem communicating and that is what has always worried me. |

| I am proud of my teens because they are who they are. They are unique. They treat me with respect, which is rare for teens anymore. I am proud that both of them have goals in their lives and are going in the right direction to get there. I am proud of my teens because they treat elderly people with respect and understanding as well as respect others. I am proud of my teens because they respect themselves and are level headed. They do not follow the crowd and they aren't afraid to tell other teens no. |
