The Terrible 12s

My sister is 12 and her attitude is so HORRIFIC that I don't know if she or the rest of the family is going to make it to her 13th birthday alive.
What can I say? She is obnoxious. She is rude. She has taken up hanging with the kids next door, these gross little hood rats that think they are better than the neighborhood because they go to private school. She yells. She talks crazy to my mom. She talks crazy to my brothers and I. She stomps around and cries and calls us names when she doesn't get her way, then she has the audacity to turn around and ask for new school clothes. Please, not from me!
Talking to her about her miserable disposition has gotten so draining ad dramatic that we all kind of hide from her, sitting in our rooms with the door closed as she has one of her episodes.
Right now is the worst. She is actually behaving, which, in the past, has proven to be the calm before the storm. Any little twitch, any denial of a third helping of food, any request to use the phone while she is talking to one of her airhead friends, any expectation to actually do a chore, could result in full out war.
Me and my mother were at odds when I was a pre-teen (the jury is still out on whether or not that "phase" is over) so I feel her pain. At that age, EVERYTHING seems so unfair. But I am telling you this: if she comes stomping through this house again for no reason, I am throwing her out the window!

Examining the 90s Baby

Am I the only one that yearns for the good old days when the meanest thing another kid could do to you was talk about your Mama? You yell with your peer, get in a fight, get sent to the office, your Mama spanks you because she had to leave work early to come get you, and life went on.
Well, the 90s babies aren't about keepin' it simple...they are about keeping it gangsta! Beating each other to literal death and posting the videos on Youtube. Setting each other up for jail time and such. I have said it once and I will say it again: they are crazy!
But technology, technology has given them a new medium to be awful to each other. What am I talking about? Well, my sister comes home yesterday and tells me that some girl in her class took a picture of her in class and then took a picture of some other girl at another time, then took the pics home and photoshopped them so that it looked like my sister and this other girl were kissing. Then she posted this pic on her Facebook page.
WTF? Why would it even cross your mind to do something like that and furthermore, why does a 12-year-old have a Facebook page?!
I was bothered by this guys. And not just because it was weird and involved my sister, but because my sister thought that this was OK. Kids do things like this all the time apparently, and it could have been worse. The kids in her classes could have actually believed the obviously doctored pic, which would have been social suicide. This surprised me, seeing that this is the "I Kissed a Girl" generation.
I got made fun of a lot in school, and I can not imagine having to defend my sexuality as a preteen! I guess such things are commonplace for the poor misguided 90s baby.
