There are some things/people doing the Mexican hat dance on my one, last nerve-some recent pet peeves, if you will:1. Two-faced people.
2. All of the drama and baggage that goes with teaching and advising teenagers. They really are shitty toward each other. It's depressing.
3. The slowness with which June is approaching. It needs to be June 20th, now!
4. Neighbors who fight and scream all night and then have loud sex. It makes it really hard for spinster cat ladies like me to get to sleep.
I think if I had a good reason, other than just saying, "I quit," I'd quit teaching (there are the financial concerns). Maybe I'll get as lucky as Mrs. Clifton (about 2-min. in/give or take).

Agreed. As the father of two daughters, I'll just be happy to get them through their teen years in one piece. Is it worse with girls, or does it just seem that way to me? Of course, I think this era of media-saturation and instant communication (cellphones, texting, MySpace etc.) have made things worse.
It is worse with girls.
I have two also (and one boy who graduates college in two weeks). The girls are tougher.
But, bitch slapping the parents sometimes helps to straighten out the really bad girls.
We used to be able to "shame" bad parents, now a good old-fashioned country ass-whoopin' is the only thing that works.
Nerves; I just don't have very many anymore. The ones I have are wore out.
When we lived in apartments (back in the AZ days) we had a couple who did the same thing. It made us laugh when they would "Go to it." It always started with an argument and ended with making up. He was a grunter and she was a moaner. It was terrible and funny. I was so glad when they moved.
