Stereotypes

[Annetteno1]

I would like to distinguish that I am unhappy with the conformity to stereotypes displayed on what one would assume is a most reputable website.
I was merely curious as to your advice on teenagers, as my eldest son, Eustace, is nearing this most daunting stage of his life. I was aghast when I saw a despicable image of what one assumes is a teenager, conforming to all the grotesque stereotypes that the tabloids display. One would be most pleased if the image was changed to a much more positive, delightful picture of choir boys singing gracious, heavenly music.

Yours sincerely,
Annette

huh?

you need to put that joint out

i was here and have no idea what it means

She's talking about the photograph on www.mumsnet.com/teenagers.

well I don't like as the teen doesn't look right, where is the x box controller and piercings/tattoo

You are absolutely right...only just now my teen was asking if there was any more ironing he could do before preparing some cupcakes for tomorrow's church gathering.

Oh, do put a photo of Eustace on your profile, Annetteno 1, so we can laugh see what a fine upstanding teenager should look like.

Stewie - my 4 year old stomps around saying "huh, its not fair" and "do I have to?" etc. Maybe they'll have grown out of it by the time they're teenagers.

i am trying to put a pic of my boy on my profile

this place is mental

metal dear not mental

holy moly

oh good it worked, so you can see my baby boy

Have you put his photo up?

what do you think?

Alright alright.....I'm having a look.

Is that ok with you?

go for it

He's lovely. You must be very proud.

lol, do you really think that is him??
he would kill me if I put him on mn

Er no, i don't think a doll dressed like elvis is your son. I'm a bit nuts, but not completely off my head.

Glad to see you all approached this with a sense of humour! :) :L
