Alis girls Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I was telling OH and boys about this old lady who had fell outside the supermarket and smashed up her nose - and was helping till ambulance arrived. ES 14 then told us a few weeks ago at golf club an elderly gent had fallen and they were struggling to get him up. ES all of 6ft , muscle and attitude went up and said " you need a man" (dont we all? ) and helped the old man up with the others. He was rewarded with some golf balls as it turned out the old guy was the chair. I was sooo proud I was almost sobbing in my dinner. See - not all teens are bad. had to share this.

patsylabrador Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Good man, that does make you proud - you're right, they're not all bad, but the good ones don't make the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 What a lovely lad. you have every right to feel proud. Good that he was grateful too.... I'm no teenager, but an older chap fell in the park yesterday while I was walking Ruby. I went rushing over as he didn't get up straight away, offered my help, and all I got was a mouthful of abuse he may have been embarrassed, but at least he could have been courteous!

Tiggy Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 most teens agre great, I love it when ours bring friends round, but they dont hit the news do they!!! as for your chap Claret, sounds like a right grumpy old so & so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 he deserves to be left there Claret. Probably still is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majuka Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Bless him, not surprised you are proud - so many teenagers get such a bad reputation and yet there are so many really good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well done your son Definitely a proud mum moment. You've obviously done a sterling job in bringing him up. Claret, oh dear, that's a shame about the old man. As you say he might have been embarrassed or just a grumpy old man. I have to say that all the teenagers I know are very polite and lovely. One young man even helped me and my OH clear up after ES's 18th birthday (ES had already gone to bed ) Bless him - he's my favourite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Oh, well done that lad! You must be very proud of him - a really gallant young gentleman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well done your son. As a mother of 2 and soon to be 3 teenagers, I have to say that they are not all bad, quite the opposite, most are great with just a few dodgy ones. It is great when they make you proud.

sadietoo Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well done that chap!! Yes teenagers do get bad press. I have one ( and one who has just left her teens). They are bright, amusing, articulate, and sensitive (most of the time ). Their friends are equally lovely, and I am immensely proud of them all.

alih Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 What a great story! I have 2 teens and an added extra by way of ED's boyfriend who virtually lives here and I love them all - those who malign them clearly haven't met individual teens! Well done your boy, I would have wept in my dinner too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
