My son is 14 and a freshman in HS. Well today he texts me that he is having a really pissed off day. He said he got furious (pacing?) in Algebra because the teacher spent the first 45 minutes talking about Aaron Rodgers day today and he was mad at her for wasting his time. For some reason this made him fuming mad. He asked if they could move on and get to the work, and apparently she "went off on him" (his words lol)
So his texts to me are he's so pissed off, never been this mad in school before, cant believe this fucking teacher, etc. He says he's shaking mad, can't even talk to his friends he so pissed. So i txt back and forth with him for a while trying to keep him from doing anything stupid ("I'm about the thrown my phone across this class" he says).
I tell him to make sure to eat something at lunch (he doesnt usually eat much during the day) that it will make him feel better probably.
So he gets to lunch, eats a few Flaming Hots (lol) then txts me to tell me he had some food. I joke with him about his food choice, and he lol's. So, we're on the right track and I'm trying to help him understand he wont be furious forever, he will calm down soon, then he can figure out what transpired and how he got so angry, etc, help him process.
What gets me is, when I was in HS (circa 1942) a) I would never have talked to my parents about how i felt about anything, no way and b) there was no way to have instant communication with them anyway. Its so cool how in today's day and age, kids have direct and immediate access to their parents. It really helped today.
also, shut up
