TEENAGERS!!!

My 13 year old daughter is going to give me a heart attack!! She is a good kid. A really good kid. But lately she has made some not so wise choices. My mom was right! Now I get it. Now I know how she felt. Now I regret and feel horrible for the way I talked to her and the things I did when she wasn't around. The amount of worrying that a mother does is simply unmeasurable. Nothing she did was all that bad...so she got three days of in school suspension. Not the end of the world. She isn't doing drugs. She isn't pregnant. She doesn't smoke. But still, I worry. I worry that if she did this one little thing to get in trouble at school, what's next? If she has began doing things to impress her friends, at what lengths will she go to? I sure hope she doesn't go to the extent that I did when I was a teenager. I just want to hold her and cry. And then lock her in her room until she is 30. I worry for her. I worry about her. I want to protect her. I hate seeing her hurt. I hate when people are mean to her. I would rather someone punch me in the face than be mean to my sweet girl. But then, five minutes later I want to punch HER in the face. She is so moody!! Geez!! Have I really forgotten what it was like to be 13?!?!
