As the mom in a blended family (that brings its own problems without drama) and a mom of 2 teenagers and 1 stepdaughter who is a tween. I have been talking with parents in my shoes and one thing is in common if you have daughters, DRAMA! What is up with all the drama daughters? Someone said I should start a blog about this so here goes. I am no expert as a parent, just have experience with it and blogging is a pasttime I do to kinda journal our days, when I have time and to let folks in the River Region and family and friends know what is going on. Does it matter, why do people blog? To get things off our chest. That’s how i feel sometimes. If I blog like that and I DON’T publish it, I just do it to get all the hurt and stress off my mind, I guess therapeutic. So here’s my new project – my therapy – getting my drama daughters craziness off my chest.
It started the middle of 6th grade when my daughter was bullied at school thru Facebook. There was a girl who pretty much dog cussed my daughter. Now my daughter didn’t start it, but she got sucked into it. I wont go into intimate detail, bit it ended with cops called to school and 2 months of NO electronics was the final verdict for my daughter. So we decided to move my daughter to a different school. It didn’t help. Now in the mean time, it’s Christmas time 2011. My step daughter comes to spend the 2nd half of the school year. She got into drama on day 2. The ironic thing was it was at the same school of previous incidences and all ready knew the principal. LOL. Drama. She said, she said, and she said and I didn't do it then it went to passing notes to boys and causing fist fights. It is insane. Day 3 at a new school and a new boy friend and in trouble with those 2 boys in ISS.
It has now progressed to boys hanging out at the community park and to saying “I love you” on Facebook to tears cause one has a boyfriend and the one who doesn’t is so depressed that she cried herself to sleep last night.

I never had a boyfriend until 16 and sure didn’t have a cellphone, texting capabilities or a Facebook packs. The only thing I worried about was if friends called the house phone past 8p. What has happened? If you would like to chime in, vent, offer suggestions or just need a virtual hug and verbal support and comfort – here it is.
I am praying for my daughters and will pray for families with drama daughters. Will we survive?

While talking about starting this blog, I learned it is not just teenage girls - it is boy drama too! So Parents of Teenage Drama - share, post and vent away!
