daisybell, i am sorry if you thought i was patronizing you, that was not my intention.

of course you know your life better than anyone.
i hope no one was trying to say you were lying or exagerating in any way! i certainly wasn't.

i appreciate your comments here, as i don't have kids or socialise with anyone who does, i have to say that on a day to day basis, i have no idea whats going on for teenagers.

my conclusions come from watching programmes like the jeremy kyle show, whick i acknowledge is a misrepresentaion of teenege mums.
