What Is A Normal Sixteen Year Old Please?

Question

My mother is constantly saying im not a normal sixteen year old because as she said i don't go out alot,don't run up my cellphone bills or have a boyfriend right know.She said she doesn't have to always yell at me to get off the phone and thats not normal.Just because i don't run around with boys and do stupid things wtih friends how the h**l am i not normal i would probably be some other parents dream.I rather read books then go fricken driving around doing pointless stuff, write poems, listen to music and learn my guitar.I told her she's stereotyping me because not all teens are like what she thinks.She also makes me do everything in the house while my two brother cramp theirselves in their room on the computer they do no chores nothing im tired of being the only kid in my family cleaning doing everything in the house.I dont want a boyfriend right now and i dont see whats the use of running up a cell phone bill to just get in a fight with her.She doesn't treat me like a normal teen so how am i suppose to know that im not one.

Answer 1

tell her that its true i am not a normal 16 year old but i am better than them because you raised me as a child to be good and not give you headaches

Answer 2

Well... Nothing is a normal Teenager.

Tell her, would you rather be bailing me out of jail... If she says no. then say be happy I'm mature.

Answer 3

I'm the same way. I know of people that do all that stuff, but I normally stay home and watch after my little siblings and clean and do whatever while my mom's at work.  I still hang out with my friends once in a while, but we don't do what "normal trouble-making" teens do.  None of us have boyfriends, nor have we ever.  Maybe we're just weird... hmm oh well.  But on the other hand, I guess it can be a good thing... =]

Oh, by the way.. I play guitar too. x]

Answer 4

Answer 7

Normal does not exist.

Everyone is different.

So tell your mom to shut up.

xD

Answer 8

I think you're acting mature, it's good to think about important things and not that useless stuff. You're not weird just for being 16 and wanting to read instead of worrying about boys and cell phones. Keep reading! Reading is good, don't let her tell you otherwise. Your mom is the weird one. Why does she want to get into arguments with you about boys and bills? That's dumb.

Answer 9

Emii is right. There is NO such thing as a normal teenager. Your mom should be very glad she got a girl that doesn't run around doing bad things with boys, stealing, and smoking pot.

P.S. Right on, with playing guitar!

Answer 10

you sound like a smat teen thats actually not getting pregnant or i dept. i dont know why your mums says this to you as you should be praised for being so mature at your age. more teens need to be like you and you should be proud to be yourself. dont listen to negitive people. you are well on your way to being a adult who has goles and can look after yourself without getting into troubble. youll see when you get older you will be better off

Answer 11

Haha I wish your mom was more like my mom...my mom wants me to stop doing all the things your mom is telling you to do.

Answer 12

yeah thats not normal

but its not really i bad thing..

but gotta say, its way more fun being the stereotypical teen lmfao

:D  

Answer 13

well you're normal i guess.

but you should go out a little with friends

and party around

you're 16

fulfill your childhood

Answer 14

you sound exactly like me :D it sucks that your mom cant see that she has a great thing going for her. i know so many mothers that would trade for a kid like you in an instant.  

Answer 15

I'm surprised your mother thinks that of you, you'd be any mother's dream. Normal is defined by majority of society. Normal is different at different times of a society and between societies. In the 1990s you would be a normal kid according to society. Now people see normal teenagers as one's who party, talk, are disrespectful, and abusive. So according to society's way of life you are different, an alien.

After being philosophical, I'll say what I really think. You perfectly fine, I'm like that. everyone's different. You're right. your mom's being stereotypical. Just talk to your mom. You are normal.

Answer 16

Tell her normal sixteen year olds are getting arrested and fined for underage drinking and are having s*x.  Ask her is she's ready to be a grandmother.
