What is a difficult thing?
Studying law in foreign language?
Yes, that’s quite difficult.
But there are more difficult things.
Being a mother of a teenage girl is super difficult!!!
I have a daughter who just became a teenager.
She came to Australia when she was 7 years old.
Until 7 years old, she grew up in Japan. So she couldn’t speak English.
Oh actually we lived in California for 8 months, she could speak American English at that time.
After living in California, we lived in Germany for few months. Then she started to learn German, and after we went back to Japan, she forgot English so quickly.
Anyway, when we moved to Australia she couldn’t understand English at all.
Before her school starts, I send her to a 2 weeks intensive English course, in the class she was an only Japanese. Other students are all Korean. Then she learned lots of Korean words instead of English...
After she started to go to local Australian school, she made lots of friends and she learned English quickly. The end of the first year, she has got a student award of English.
She skipped a grade, and now, her class mates are 2 years older than her.
She doesn’t have any problem of studying. She is still straight A student.
Therefore I thought it is good thing for her to study in older class.
But now I think that’s not good...
Next year her friends will start to drive a car.
Some of her friends already tasted alcohol and soon they will be party monsters....
I was a teenager before so I know how teenager acts.
My daughter is getting difficult but not that bad yet compare to who I was.
But yesterday, I found her facebook states became “in relationship” OMG!!!!
What should I do??? What should I tell her??? OMG!!!!!
*Important notice*
Please don't ask my age. Maybe I am a bit older than you expected, but I am not that old. : )

What is considered as something difficult?
Studying law in a foreign language?
For example, being a mother of a teenage girl is super difficult!!!
Before that, she grew up in Japan.
Well... actually, we lived in California for 8 months, so she could speak American English at that time.
After living in California, we lived in Germany for a few months.
Then she started to learn German, and after we went back to Japan, she forgot English very quickly.
Anyway, when we moved to Australia, she couldn’t understand English at all.
Before she started going to school, I sent her to a 2-week English intensive course. In the class she was the only Japanese.
All the other students were Korean.
After she started going to a local Australian school, she made lots of friends and she learned English quickly.
At the end of her first year, she received an English student award.
She skipped a grade, and now, her classmates are 2 years older than her.
She doesn’t have any problem of studying.
She is still a straight A student.
Therefore, I thought it would be a good idea for her to study in an older class.
But now I am starting to think that’s not good...
Next year, her friends will probably start driving.
Some of her friends already tasted alcohol, and soon they will be party monsters....
I was a teenager before, so I know how teenagers act.
My daughter is getting difficult, but not that bad yet compared to who I was.
But yesterday, I found her Facebook status changed to “in a relationship” OMG!!!!
Wow, having kids really sounds difficult! I guess that is the age that every parent fears their children will become haha
I'm no parent, so I may not be the right person to give advice, but I think that we should let them have their own flow in life. That way, they will experience by themselves the hardships of life. When we're teenagers, are parents tell us that "X thing is very dangerous!", but we never believe them, until we experience it by ourselves. ^^;
Of course, I also think they need a guide, which in this case is you. But we can't tell them what to do because they will no longer pay attention haha.
