They also tattoo their skin and wear rings in their noses. ln addition they spend hours at the shopping mall and on the phone. They have time to watch TV but they don't have time to do their homework. Also they're always too busy to clean up1 their rooms but they're never too busy to clean out the refrigerator by eating everything in it. Finally they are old enough to drive but too young to pay for gas. They are usually broke' so they always return the family car with an empty gas tank. lt's hard to be a teenager but it's even harder to be the parent of one.
