That's a good friend. Girls are like that.

I'll bet the dad who left his daughter alone didn't sleep well.

A missed opportunity for a sleep over. IMO

Elsewhere

I have to say that for several years I've begun to think that teenagers have a special insight that previous generations do not have.

These teens were born into a world of the Internet. They see people on the other side of the planet the same way we see our next door neighbor.

They also seem to have a personal humility and openness that previous generations do not have. They have no problem with their friends pointing out flaws and showing embarrassing videos and pictures. To the teens, such things are fair game. If they were caught on video doing something stupid, they could care less if the whole world sees it on YouTube.

And I admire YOU, snowbird, for your humility and compassion. Saying you're wrong can be really hard, (((snowbird))))

I very much agree with Elsewhere. You often hear people complain about todays youth and who forget that they were no better or ever worse. They complain about their music, hair and clothing. But who designs, produces and promotes all the teen stuff??? It is highly educated and payed adult professionals. Large industries fully aim at the vulnerable youngsters and make big money. fts

I feel that your granddaughter showed great heart in what she did. I just wonder if those negative feelings about teenagers will come back when the phone bill comes.

Thanks to all who replied.

Sammieswife, I am really proud and humbled by her actions.

BTS, I agree, girls are like that.

DJK, this area is really hard hit economically speaking; the dad was just happy to get some work. He didn't have time to make arrangements for Baby Girl.

Elsewhere, teenagers are special; one day you want to kill them, the next, you want to hug them!

Avi, a big hug back to you and your little special girl. Peace and strength to you.

FreetoSee, it's so much easier to throw stones than to gather them. I forget sometimes that I was once a teenager.

Musky, her parents have to pay the phone bill, thankfully!
