Everything is Stupid...

[Phrebert]

My 10 yo neice thinks everythin is "LAME"
My 8 yo cousin always says "oh My Bad!"

My DD 13 is now in a phase where everything is "stupid". School is stupid, her teachers are stupid, the dog is stupid, etc. etc. etc.

Anyone else ever deal with this issue from their teen?

Im waaaay over 13 and I think everything is "Stupid" too!

My teenage kids say everything is gay...and to that, i respond, I don't think your "homework" is gay, it doesn't have a sexual orientation. Then they say I am stupid!

lol

Imagine 200 kids going through the "stupid" phase at the same time. That's my world. I guarantee that if I told them there would be no work today and we would just watch a movie, any movie I picked would be called stupid by someone. Another teacher came in and gave them candycanes at the beginning of class. A few students said it was stupid because they only got one.

That's a stupid question.

It's an innevitable phase in growing up. Wait until she starts hating everyone that loves or cares about her.

I don't know whether to laugh or offer pixie dust.

I am sorry but for some reason this thread has me of course as the mother of kids under 5 I am sure it will not be as funny in 10 years.

Actually I would just like to know when I can stop hearing the word "poopie" come out of my 4 year olds mouth? The potty humor at this age is unreal and it is driving me INSANE!!!! Dude, it is so totally random and stupid....

Stupid is way better than retarted or you are a retard. We went through this with the kids and I hated that. Everything was ******** and they called each other a retard. I was appalled and apparently it wasn't just my kids doing it but it's finally stopped.

We had them all from DSis (then) 15 a while back. She is very much a drama queen. One day I turned around and told her, "O No! The Dramallama followed you home!" when she was doing the dance-of-the-dying-fly over something small (it's an internet saying...dunno where it came from). The problem is, no one can be told that the Dramallama followed them home and still be wound up about whatever it was they were having the drama over. Works very well. In a variety of contexts:

Jump back from the window. "GOOD GRIEF! Next time that llama follows it home could you please warn me? Scared the heck out of me...."

"Susan? Susan? There's someone at the door for you...says he's the Dramallama?"

Endless fun and people forget what they were getting wound up about.

Except now we all insult each other by saying "Stop being such a llama!"

My DS 12's new favorite word is "freakin'." He just doesn't understand that saying that is not much better than using the word it's replacing.

He used to say stupid a lot, too.... till he called ME stupid one day. That ended immediately!

OMG, I remember this stage. Mine are 18 and 16 now, but they went through SUCH a bathroom and "anatomical parts" word phase when they were little! I can remember saying, "Everybody poops. Everybody pees. Get over it." They giggled for days.

I say stuff is "gay". I tell people they are being a "gay" (in an affectionate way). If my homosexual friends are acting like muppets, I tell them they're being really "straight" today, and affectionate call them a "raving hetero". Works both ways

When my DS15 starts calling teachers and subjects "stupid", it's code for "I don't understand this subject and I need HELP". Right now his physics teacher is REALLY stupid! I don't let on that I know he's struggling, I just try to offer more help.
