		<description><![CDATA[So there are a few things I&#039;d like to address:

1. At 15 this girl has began puberty and probably has the body of a full grown woman, why does he feel its right to CHOKE her, or lay hands on her period.. he&#039;s sending a strange message, and it&#039;s kinda creepy.

2. Some of y&#039;all are all types of wrong with these comments, no word of a lie. Talking about wanting to choke teenagers you see on buses and trains doesn&#039;t sound wrong at all? And let&#039;s not front like some of us weren&#039;t the most obnoxious and loud teenagers ever, especially in public. 

3. Also, It wasn&#039;t too long ago that I was a teenager myself (I&#039;m 22) so I do realize how difficult some of them can be. I was always very mature, had an  &quot;old-soul&quot; according to my mother, therefore she treated me as such even when disciplining me. I haven&#039;t gotten spanked since I was prepubescent. After I hit puberty neither of my parents laid a hand on me, instead they used other methods of discipline (which were rarely necessary, mostly to keep me attitude in check cause I sho&#039; had/have a mouth on me. 

4. What does it say about your self-control if you have to resort to physical attacks when your supposed to be raising this adolescent to be an adult. Teens are not the same as little children, the stage is different, what you do with your kid at 5 won&#039;t work at 15. I believe that if you&#039;re a parent of a teen your job is to mold them into adults, emotionally and intellectually. Adolescence is a time for teens to learn how to transition from childhood and proceed into adulthood, what are you teaching your child about being an adult or adult relationships if you cannot simply have a conversation with them in which you explain why you do not want them to go to a party at 1am clearly you&#039;re not much of an adult as you may think.

5. I think many commenters are quick to assume that she was mouthing off as opposed to entertaining the idea that maybe he was just foul, or a bit of both(?). Because she&#039;s a teenager she has to be the one who escalated the issue? What ever happened to personal accountability? In the end, regardless of what she did or said  (as long as she didn&#039;t hit him) he is responsible for how he reacted to her, he&#039;s the &quot;adult&quot; right?

6. If she did in fact make the first physical move, that&#039;s another issue entirely about how much he failed years before. This failure will never be corrected.

PS. I am fully aware that some teens are ridiculously rude and obnoxious but I refuse to say that they all are, because I know for a fact that I wasn&#039;t. But, It really seems like sometimes we give teens no credit whatsoever. We like to act as though we were the holy grail of what a 15 year-old should be, GTHO!]]></description>
