Puberty is when parents become difficult…
If you believe the vernacular, puberty means pure horror. The child turns away from its parents, it just doesn't listen anymore. The outer appearance has changed too, the once sweet daughter now appears in an almost ladylike appearance, if it weren't for the dyed hair and the somewhat too short skirt. She is suddenly less interested in her dolls, but much more in boys. Who thinks to have it taken badly with this, can count themself lucky not to have a son. The last talk over dinner was a long time ago, now he always sits at the table with his head lowered and stares at his mobile phone. The well-meant advice of his parents is dismissed as uncool, they don't understand him anyway. Whether boy or girl, the parents could well do without puberty, or maybe not?
