Guest Blog: Betty and Veronica Revisted
Posted on May 26th, 2011Hello! this is a guest blog from Barbara Greenberg, PhD. I’ve never had a guest blogger, but this came up and seemed cool because I am having issues communicating with Junior. Frankly, he’s being a teenage PITA* at this very moment. Anyway, Dr. Greenberg and Jennifer A. Powell-Lunder PsyD wrote a book called Teenage as a Second Language and run the website Talking Teenage. Important note: I haven’t read the book–but plan to. But I have been lurking on their site and it’s really got some very useful information. Also, I’m not being compensated to post this.

I am amazed to learn that Archie and friends have been updated technologically but remain pretty much the same in terms of personality and relationships. I guess that means that our teens aren’t really that much different from the way we were. I certainly hope that’s the case, because if we turned out as well as we did, despite our narcissism, jealousies, and dorkiness, maybe we can relax a little about our teeenagers. They will still drive us nuts, but at least we can worry less about the final outcome, which is probably going to be pretty terrific adults.

John, I know, right? It gives me hope. I think part of the reason my son and I are having such a hard time right now is because instead of looking to what I felt when I was a teen, I was trying to look for common ground in terms of today’s teens. But if I remember what I went through, I think I may be able to relate better.
So maybe, just maybe, I can stop holding my breath
