is this true?

OK here are some things that all parents should say at some point some we may have heard all ready and others we may still be waiting for. these things many teens wish they'd hear there parents say all the time but they are still out parents so its kinda there job to make the tough calls and tell us what we have to do and what we don't want to hear apposed to what we want to hear. keep some of these in mind when you become a parent and if your parents are giving you a hard time maybe just remind them they were once teenagers too. Feel free to print these off and look at the site if your cheeky enough leave them lying around for your parents to find.
