Sad to say teenagers are always looked down on.
I am a single Mum of a 17yr old and YES it is not easy, but if you try,you can get them through tough years.
My son has helped a lot delivering to old and vulnerable people with me through this time, but YES in a black tracksuit or with his jeans below his bum which I always pull up.
I am overwhelmed as a neighbour has came to say to me he would like to give him the key to his garage to use his gym equipment but would not like to share it with others as he trusts my son.
Thank you for engaging with teenagers, all they need is a chance.
