" Welcome. I am a teen and I get along very well with my mother. I like helping out with parents who don't have as a good a relationship with their teens as I do with my mum because we seem to have what works down pat. You could sort of say I am a goody-two-shoes, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I suppose I am rather odd for a teenager but I am quite contented with the way things are. Teens can be like aliens, I must agree but I think I know their ways as I am one myself so if anyone is ever in need of some advice on how to figure out their own alien I am the human manual, at your service. I am rambling now...I am afraid that is one of my more annoying or negative traits. Anyway, I hope I can be of help and that others in this group will also.

Best of luck with all your aliens,
-honestyisstrength "
