Being a stepdad may not be the easiest job, but it should never get so rough that one feels the need to sabotage an upcoming family vacation. That's exactly what happened when this dude stole and hid his 17-year-old stepdaughter's passport just days before an all-family trip organized by his wife. First of all, the entire point of the trip in the wife's eyes was to build a stronger family dynamic between her husband, her daughter, and her stepsons. Obviously, trying to exclude his stepdaughter…

Our parents are never going to totally agree with the way we choose to live our lives, there's just too much of a difference between the times we were raised in comparison to their own life experiences. Things change, as un undeniable nad undisputable fact, time marches on, and even of the most open minded of us can find ourselves behind the “now” of the world. Of course, for those without an open mind, this is harder still. They're not particularly fond of any change to begin with, so change t…

Sometimes, teenagers don't even need to disobey their parents in order to show them just how ridiculous they are acting. In this case, we have a ridiculous stepmother who decided to chastise the Redditor for driving to his friend's place briefly to show off his brand new driver's license. It's the kind of accomplishment you want to relay to your friends. This isn't just another “teenagers being silly" story; this is a case of “give the kid a break.” Unfortunately, the stepmom from down below de…

One man's trash is another man's treasure--- just ask this neighbor. Or any neighbor, for that matter. Almost all of us have had the experience of walking by our neighbor's house and spotting a box marked “free.” These boxes can be filled with any number of “treasures,” ranging from old DVDs to books to clothing or shoes. Some of it is certainly still destined for the trash, but to find a great book or a barely-used bag is a cool way to recycle. Up next,

They were even given a key to the school. So should the students still be held accountable?

This DIYer got schooled by a teenager on how to treat employees. That's because this dude really thought that employee worked for the store he was at. Even though the kid literally told this guy, a random stranger, that he wasn't an employee, this guy just wouldn't take not for an answer. And in that case, as u/wing_nut_101 puts it, “be careful what you wish for.”

As a teenager, winning prizes in a raffle is super cool. You get to buy all those things your parents won't give you or the clothes and jewelry they can't afford. But what if your parents need the money more than you do? What then? Well, I guess it really depends on the situation. And this particular situation feels really unfair considering adults need to own up to their actions and face the consequences. One teenager won $1000 in a town raffle, which she was really excited about. Her biologic…

“I’m really tired of the idea that parents are somehow obligated to just take endless meanness, neglect, and general nastiness from their teenage/adult children…”

There are some trials and tribulations that parents just have to watch their kids go through. Ill-advised bangs, unsightly fashions, and a goofy minimum wage first job are some of the classic ‘trials' that every teenager needs to learn about through experience. But when that goofy part-time job starts becoming exploitative, it's time for Mama Bear's gloves to come off.

While not all occupations are ideal, they enable you to pay your bills and make ends meet, therefore we should never criticize someone based solely on their line of work. Most likely, every diligent person strives to support both themselves and their family. So, how would you respond if a young, entitled employee willingly showed up for work and declared that the job was not worth his time and effort? The story that follows is the tale of a grumpy yet diligent worker. An arrogant adolescent who…

If things like ‘cleanliness’ and ‘mutual independence’ are important to you, don't be like the Gen X couple in our next story who got stuck being a runaway 18-year-old's new mommy and daddy.

When you are a teenager everything, even the smallest insignificant thing, already feels like the biggest deal ever. So when you go through something traumatic for any age, it feels extra potent in its tragedy when you're at that age.

This must be one of the most subtly infuriating revenge stories, and it's truly ingenious. Living with someone inevitably exposes you to their idiosyncrasies, those small habits that can seriously grate on your nerves. It could be the way they tidy up, their pillow arrangement, or the way they always leave their toothbrush out – the seemingly trivial things that still drive you mad. In this father-son dynamic, the father finds himself unable to tolerate the disorderly way his teen leaves everyt…

It might help if this school club was just a tad bit more accomodating. Maybe they'll change their policies after a chat with one student. Since the beginning of the 2020s, people have adapted video calling into their everyday lives. For a while, people used it for work and school when we all had to be isolated from each other. But even after the fact, people still love video calls. Facetiming your family is a great way to have a face-to-face conversation that's a little more personal than a ph…

Every time we dine at a fine restaurant, we mentally prepare ourselves for the horrible moment when we get handed the check. No matter how prepared we think we are, our hearts skip a beat as soon as the bill lands on the table. The story below is of a young and daring teenager who thinks he can get away with anything. I guess it has to do with the naivety of children that lingers in our teens. To get back to the point, this young boy opted to invite all of his closest buddies to a fancy restaur…

These pranksters are next-level . The best kinds of pranks are the ones that leave every participant laughing and smiling at the end. There are way too many social media pranksters these days who want to bother pedestrians or make mockeries of their friends. A lot of it feels mean-spirited, but it doesn't have to be that way. Why not prank someone the way a bunch of these guys did? They only ordered one milkshake at a restaurant, even though there were a bunch of people at their table. But then…
