Hi Anna,
I raised 3 kids on my own, so I can relate to what you are going
through. Teenagers have got to be the worst people in the world,

Well, people that think "teenagers are the worst people in the world", are
the worst people in the world, IMO. Bitter middle-aged people and angry
entitlement-minded senior citizens take that prize in my book, but hey.

but they do grow out of it.That usually happens when they turn 18 (become
adults in my country)

How does that work? Does a light switch get flipped or something?

and until then all parents can hope to do is
survive it. My kids also got in with a bad crowd and all three were
arrested at one time. Nothing too serious, just kids being mischievous

What , in hindsight, do you think might have prevented these events?
