Attention Seeking, sometimes we do it and we don’t even know we are doing it. Are you doing it and why? Sometimes we act instinctively and think our behavior is normal until we reflect on what we are doing. I was considered a troubled teen. Funny enough, no one seemed to ask why. Maybe you’re not like me and maybe you are. My parents, as great as they are (in their way) ways didn 't pay much if any attention to me growing up. They were busy trying to create ‘a better life us’. We all do the best we can with what we have. What they failed to realize was that they were missing some fundamentals that we needed. We didn 't need stuff, although who doesn 't like stuff. We needed them and their time and understanding. When I became a teenager this lack of attention really set in.

It is a behavior that demonstrates to people you are looking for something. I am not saying don 't stand out or be loud and proud. I believe now, had I taken some time to think, had I taken some time to ask myself what I wanted and why I could have channeled my behavior and all that energy into something different. My behavior taught me it was nice to get noticed. I was teaching myself it didn 't matter why people like me, it was more that they just liked me. To be liked is all we want sometimes and it hurts when people ignore us or don 't notice that we matter. But bad attention is still bad.

A couple of weeks ago, the class was assigned a personal narrative essay and the prompt was to tell an interesting story of a specific experience that changed how you acted, thought, or felt. To be honest, I was awfully excited to write this essay because talking about myself is the easiest thing to write about sometimes.

Writing this essay brought me many challenges, I did not know what topic to choose, I had no
Haven’t you heard the expression, trying to raise teenagers is like trying to nail Jell-O to a tree. In my experience that is somewhat true. I have one son who is 15 and so far has been very low maintenance. On the other hand, my 18 year old daughter is the opposite. She arrived out of the womb being extremely high maintenance. In saying that, my memories with adolescence cognitive egocentrism has made me think about teenager life when I was young compared to the here and now times of my kids. I will give some examples and explain my own experience with egocentrism.

When I was about four or five years old I had to get my tonsils taken out which are located in the back of your mouth.
