My name is also Ruth, and I am amazing about how you hit the nail right on the head! Nice job, it is so true... my little 7 year old sister is expected to be in bed by 8:00... and me 10:00, but I go over the limit... why? I need to challenge myself! Thank you for writing this article and bringing awareness for us to stop disobeying, and start taking a stand! Nice job! :) Great job Ruth!

The comparison was very well put, Great Job Ruth! :) I agree, how entertaining that toddlers can not escape from the punishments of throwing a fit, yet teens today yell at their parents with no consequence at all. Definately a standard issue... something I can't wait to work on raising in my own life! Thank you sooo much Ruth for making me think, How cool that you live in England! ;) Soli Dea Gloria!!

The teen years of one's life are incrfedibly important. But sadly, they are wasted by so many people! Sometimes I feel so degraded and judged by the way our culture presents teenagers, and I'm desperatly trying to change it! That is so true Ruth!

I've been known to say at church that we treat teenagers as young adults, instead of as big kids. However, parents often have to be reminded of such, having bought into the culture's expectations of teenagers as selfish and immature. P.S. I actually found this to be less of a problem when I lived in England than in the US. You'd REALLY be just lovin' it over here!

Behaviour, honour, colour, Saviour, centre, all that stuff. I don't say 'crisps', but I do say 'Pop' instead of 'Soda'! ;) If only I had an 'incredible English accent'! ;) God bless, Sheila By the way, I am from Canada, and as you might have noticed in the above comment, I too spell things weird!
