"When I was 13"

" When I was 13, which was many many years ago, please forgive me if i do not have good memory recollections, because it has been over thirty years. I think I was in Middle school at that age. It was not called middle school where I grew up. It was either Elementary or Secondary School. It was a good experience except that I do not care too much for Math, but now I think it was the way it was taught. As an adult who is in school to be a teacher, I now know better.
I am a mother of three children and I can just use an example of what my children say or do as teenagers. My daughter would always tell me that I am a teenager now and should be allowed priviledges and she would give me the list of thinks that she wants. My son likes to multi- task which just drives me crazy. He would have the laptop in front of him, watching TV and sometimes on the phone. I would always tell them that when I was growing up I did not have all these technologies and luxuries and they would tell me that was stone age, it was different then and this is the new generation of computers, phones and technology.
