I am a mom to a Teenage son

I am a mom of 3 boys (2 teens), 16 1/2, 15 and a 9yr old who thinks he's a teen, and same with Shelly, the third has been the most difficult. I am very lucky with my teens. My oldest works part time, very motivated their, but not with school. My 15yr old is very motivated in school and is already mapping out his education and career plans. These 2 are very respectful and would never even raise their voice to me. The youngest is a bit more of a handful, very outgoing and outspoken (sometimes too much) and does not hide his feelings about anything. He will backtalk his father but not me. But I love them so much. Just wish they wouldnt fight so much.

I got lucky Morgan got intensely interested in politics during our last presidential election and really thinks about how his actions could impact a future political career.  We do have a standing policy that he must tell us when he goes to a party and its location.  We have had times when he has called and we have went to get him.  He does not have fear and he calls, he also does not feel the need to go crazy and has stated that he worries on Senior week that he would end up taking care of friends and has opted not to go (we told him he should as you only are a teenager once).  My advice be open and do not hide from the realities of life.

I have some worries coming up with all the Senior things going on now. Any tips on how to handle them?

I have to say I am nervous thinking of my 17 yr old going away to college next fall. How have you handled your son leaving home?
