My mums a right biddy. Right I can roll my school skirt up 3 times to get it short. Maxine says it’s well good and Darren says I have nice legs. But OMG my biddy mum says she can see my breakfast when I bend over! I mean OMG! Really! Says I’m not going out the house like that. She’s so old . She’s 35 and knows nothing about being a teenager. She still used a tin can and string to talk to her old biddy mates. Aibu?

The 'rents keep nagging me to go on holiday with them. I had to go for three weeks in the summer holidays, then there was Amsterdam last Christmas, skiing at Easter and they've already booked for next year Hmm.

Holidays are so boring... I could be playing on the Xbox with Chinny, Matty, Chippy, Hazzie and Wozzer, or getting pasties from The Pound Bakery, instead of waterskiing in the Med and eating fresh sardines on the beach.

Twats.

My DM is so fucking unreasonable. How dare she be cross that I rang up and screamed down the phone at her cause I'd had to wait 9 whole minutes for my bus. I mean 9 minutes God!!!!

NoLoveofMine · 08/10/2017 10:22

This thread is hilarious and I can’t stop laughing.

Nor me. Mainly because, being a teenager myself, it's hilarious to see how people think "teenagers" converse.

KeiraTwiceKnightley · 08/10/2017 10:23

I think your DSM might be on here as well.

Shockers · 08/10/2017 10:24

NoLove, mine was paraphrasing an actual conversation I had with DS2 (17)! Grin

Potofbobbles · 08/10/2017 10:26

And I have no idea why the bitch said I can't go to the cinema just because I told her not to speak to me when I got home if she was going to tell me off for screaming at her and that she could tell me off but I didn't have to listen.

I mean she has a go at me all the time. Today she asked me to move the biscuit packet with biscuits spilling out that I had left on her bed just because they were melting and pick up the cereal box I had knocked on the floor and left.

I mean why doesn't she just do it.
What a liberty.

My mum keeps nagging me to tidy my room. She says it looks like a hurricane has hit it and you can’t see the floor. But I don’t have time to tidy properly because I need to play games on my phone. So I shove everything including wet towels and food wrappers into jumbled heaps under my bed, under my desk and in my wardrobe instead.

Last night, Mum kept nagging me to sort out my PE kit so it was ready for school but of course I didn’t have time. Then when I started looking for it 2 minutes before I needed to leave for school, I couldn’t find my PE shorts. Naturally I started screaming and shrieking for Mum to find them for me, as it’s her fault that they are missing. But she couldn’t find them and now Mum is refusing to write a note for the teacher explaining that it’s not my fault. AIBU?

NoLoveofMine · 08/10/2017 10:27

Shockers to be fair I can imagine some of the content of some of the posts being said but it's still rather amusing to read of peoples' impressions of teenagers Wink

TalcAndTurnips · 08/10/2017 10:28

Bitsandbobsalot · 08/10/2017 10:28

OnTheSherry · 08/10/2017 10:34

Talc Grin. OMG - I'm, like, literally crying at your one (I work with young people and this is an actual daily occurrence).

Potofbobbles · 08/10/2017 10:35

What is it with teens and eyebrows. I was watching educating GM the other day with a WTF face...

didnthappeninmyday · 08/10/2017 10:37

My old biddy says her car has broken down and she’s not giving me a lift to school tomorrow, I’ve told her I’m not walking 2 miles to school and she needs to get it fixed today, and I don’t care if garages are shut on Sunday’s. There’s no way I’m walking, she needs to sort it out.

Honestly, AIBU to expect my mum to knock on my bedroom door before coming in? I was stark naked and wanking into a sock.

OM-F-(sorry Mum)-G! I am NOT going for a walk at half ten (like, half TEN!!!!!) on a Sunday. Has she lost the plot?!!! She's all like 'but its sunny' and 'you need some fresh air' and I'm like 'Mum, GT-F (sorry Mum)-O of my room! I'm only wearing my, like, Spongebob boxers that she got me for Christmas (thanks, Mum). She's, like, SO annoying! She just opened my curtains and brought me some weetabix , as well . I'm so not wearing those WACK wellies she brought me. As if.

CauliflowerSqueeze · 08/10/2017 10:42

I don’t even need to ask AIBU because I have no second in my life where I reflect on the impact I’m having and I KNOW I am being reasonable. My parents are giving me mental health and stress issues because they have asked me twice since September how my revision is going. I mean FFS!!!!!! Like they can’t trust me or something????!!! Just because I’ve had the last 3 weeks off from working after school.
