Teenagers are put on intense medications like Accutane and do everything in their power to hide their acne from their peers. Not only does acne make you feel unattractive, but it can also be physically painful. One of …

Mom tries to force 19-year-old daughter to give up her $300 vintage tracksuit to 12-year-old niece because she ‘really likes it,’ daughter refuses and is iced out by the whole family: ‘She stole it from you’
Odds are, you have a prized possession. It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else, but you have it. Maybe it’s a pen that you got on your 8th-grade trip to Washington, DC, that reminds you of your first best friend. Maybe it’s a necklace that your grandmother gave you right before she passed. …

‘Do not homeschool your kids. You are NOT up to it.’: Former homeschoolers share why they think parents should not homeschool their kids
Homeschooling is one of those things that everyone has a strong opinion about. As a public schooler for life, I can’t speak to the experience of kids who were never in a traditional school environment, but I know for certain that I would’ve hated it. I love being around people, and I get kind of …

23 Memes That’ll Make You Relive Middle School Whether You Want to or Not
Middle school was an era. Not necessarily a good one, but definitely a memorable one. It was the time of cringe-worthy fashion choices (gauchos, anyone?), aggressively side-parted hair, and math problems with absolutely unhinged premises (like Jim buying 150 pounds of fruit and needing to divide them into piles of seven). And if you weren’t …

Mom complains to school that her 13-year-old son comments on his well-endowed teacher’s body, accuses her of not following the dress code: ‘I’m just a curvy girl and I physically cannot hide it’
I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be for a teacher to be constantly bragged with inane complaints from parents. I’m always wary of moms and dads who never assume that their kid might be the one in the wrong or are even just in need of a teachable moment that a teacher can’t provide. …

Mother bans playdates after 12-year-old refuses to include her 4-year-old sister, gets called out for her lazy parenting: ‘Mom just wants big sister to babysit’
My sister and I have a pretty tiny age gap. We are solid two years and four months apart in age, and that meant we spent a lot of time playing together as kids. Often, her friends were my friends, and my friends were her friends, too. We had neighbor kid friends who were also …

‘An epidemic of 9-13 year old girls shopping at Sephora’: Older gens bemoan loss of ‘tween culture’
I remember being a tween so vividly I almost feel like I’m still one. It’s perhaps the most formative time in our lives– when we grow out of kid stuff and start to figure out what kind of teen/adult we’re going to be. During that time, I started to listen to music that wasn’t my …
