I saw this bumper sticker the other day and it is so true.
"Raising a teenager is like trying to nail Jello to a tree."

lol - interesting description. As a mom of five - ages 12 to 21 ... there are all kinds of flavors to jello as well as all kinds of textures....but with a bit of experience and experimentation ( is that a word? hehe) there ARE ways to get the jello nailed to the tree...

Seeing as how problematic I was as a teen, this sure makes sense

If you give your kids the right mental education at an early age, they will be easier to raise at teens. That is how I see it.
Look at Donald Trump.
I saw him and his 7-8 year old boy in his office at Trump Tower on TV. His advice to him that he probably gives out to him everyday is:
Don't drink.
Don't smoke.
Don't steal.
And probably other positive messages that will help him to see himself as a smart and successful person in the future.

Agreed, but the joke is still hilarious:
