while I'm here....
is it normal for teenagers to watch TV with the volume turned up to speaker distorting and ear stabbing levels? Normal people (adults) find it impossible to sit in front of the TV at teenager levels. It hurts. Why doesn't it hurt them?
Our TV has a volume readout. Normal people listen at 16/17. The teenagers listen at 29/30.
I assume, by the way, that it is entirely normal for them to turn it down when asked only to immediately turn it right back up again when you say "OK".
I wonder, is the volume something to do with overcoming the roar of hormones seething through their blood stream, and of gunk rushing to their faces to create volcanoes there?

Teenagers? Normal? Surely you jest...
Don't forget that winding up adults is something of a badge of honour for your average under-18.
Doesn't mean you don't have a right to complain, though. Particularly about the graffiti.
Well there's teenage-normal and there's adult-normal and in time I fear there may be elderly-normal.
I used to wonder if there was some kind of existential anxiety involved. Thus...I can hear nothing but the TV therefore only I and the TV exist. Therefore, also, none of those other, uncool things (parents, homework, tidying, proper food) exist.
Beep, you will get your revenge in time - when the teenagers have reached adulthood and are at the volume 16/17 level, you'll be elderly and having it at 29/30.
ah ha! You are so right. hadn't thought of that.
only downside is i will HAVE WRUNG THEIR BLOODY NECKS months before I can get them to leave home!
In which case Beep, I suggest that you wring their necks now - after all, why wait?
