theYoungerMrsWarde Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 :grouphug: I DEFINITELY knew better than my guardians at that age. :D I couldn't understand why they couldn't understand the logic of my arguments :confused: That's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to teaching my own children logic: so that they can examine their own arguments to see if it works or not.

twoforjoy Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 You couldn't pay me enough. I don't think I thought I knew everything at 14. At 19, that's another story. ;) At least that phase passed pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 19, that's another story. ;) At least that phase passed pretty quickly. This was me too. I would rather have my finger nails pulled off and eye balls poked out than be 14 again.

usetoschool Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 :lol: I remember being 13 and having a serious discussion with my best friend about how when we were 14 we would be grown up and so different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I remember feeling incredibly smart as a twelve year old. I wondered what the point of continuing schooling was since I already knew how to read, write, and do arithmetic. I haven't felt so intelligent since!

bettyandbob Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 while I "knew" more than my parents and every other adult through my teen years, I was also in a great deal of pain. No, way I'd ever relive that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisamarie Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Guess my DD6 is an early bloomer because she already thinks she knows everything there is to know and that school is a big waste of time. "Mom, I already know the word 'the' so why do I have to read it again?" "Mom, I don't need to do any more math, I already know how to do it all" which tops out at about double digit adding. Maybe. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 well....I think your average college freshman may be smarter (you sure can't tell them anything!) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I have one of those all-knowing 14yo girls in my house. What I am having trouble tolerating is that I also have an all-knowing 18yo son. When their knowers conflict it can be loud! They cannot disagree on anything quietly (or intelligently :001_smile:).

sassenach Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 They are the smartest creatures on earth, just ask them. But they're also miserable because nothing is FAIR and everyone is always riding their back and why doesn't everyone just leave them alone?!!!!
