Because they are adults and more likely not to listen to their children and care is expensive.

There are so many things that can happen, and that need to happen, While having teenagers. These are the humans who not only gave us life but also sheltered, fed, and took care of us.

In many ways, I feel you just have to get a teen to adulthood in one piece and eventually their brain will kick in. But aging parents will only get worse and end in grief.

The sky is the limit to what can happen to teenagers and the possibilities are frightening.

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
