validation from a teen? HAHAHHAHAHA

The kids I work with are always good manipulators of people. They are nearly the best at this and only perfecting skills everyday.

Fun story:

One of my students wanted to get something out of a bag they are not allowed to get into. After it was just to, 'show you something really cool.' I of course said, no.

She comes back and flutters her Swisher Sweets eyes and tries the, oh please you are such a nice teacher.

Again I said, no.

She finally says, I hate you.

I said, that is fine, I am not here to be loved after all I do not find my validation in life from teenage girls.

This of course floors her.
