10 Things Teenage Boys Have To Endure

Being a teenage boy is rough because you have to prove yourself to everyone, including yourself. Now you just have to get through these 10 things with clean underwear on!

1. You bicep curl and bench press every day of the week.

Welcome to the gun show, nerds! Unfortunately no one got the memo that you're not a nerd anymore. You're still a nerd.

2. Your body is going through changes.

These changes result in you looking less and less like dad, but who could argue being blessed with so much junk in the trunk?

3. People always comment that you and your brother look and act so differently.

They have a point because all your friends look so similar to their siblings. You say, "Different dads", which gets a laugh every time. Jokes are so easy!

4. One of these days, you're going to tell me who my real dad is...

...you crack to your mom. She stares blankly for a moment, then gets in her car. You won't see her again for a week, so maybe you're on to something.

5. Mom is always going to or coming from Trader Joe's.

But it takes her like 3 days to come back. And there's never any food in the house. She's going to Joe's alright... and she's the Traitor!

6. The babysitter is at your house almost every night of the week.

It's odd because you're 16. Though, admittedly having at least one sober adult female in the house is generally a good thing.

7. Mom reminds you often that you were a mistake, but your brother was planned.

"Make plans, God laughs," and you are a happy little accident!

8. Your corner of the Christmas tree is dwarfed by the mountain of gifts that your brother has.

It's the thought that counts. Mom's thought is that you are just the worst!

9. Your brother's room is so much bigger than yours.

It also has a computer, a TV, video games and a telephone (hey, it's the 90s). All you have in your room is a box of tissues and a wild imagination. And lots of free time. Plus all new hormones to navigate!

10. Grandma is always there for you, so you're always there.

Forward all mail! The same woman who raised your mom is this woman who is now caring for you. She's hardly perfect, but to you she's the best!
