Mzansi Twitter weighs in after Pearl Thusi opened up about raising a teenager

Actress Pearl Thusi opened about her struggles raising a teenager this week, and Twitter had some advice for the star.

Pearl took to Twitter to share her frustrations that stem from raising a teenager. Pearl’s daughter Thando Mokoena recently turned 13, so sis figured it's probably time to update that parenthood handbook.

“Someone should have warned me about the teenage years,” wrote Pearl.

There’s no book to prepare someone for the adolescent angst but luckily for Pearl, the Twitter community of parents had her back!

When she asked parent Twitter for some tips, her devoted followers offered their best advice on how to raise teenagers. From advising her to be patient, to giving her daughter some space to learn and grow, Twitter experts came out in full swing.

Here are some of the tweeps who had the parenting 411:

This isn’t the first time the mama bear has asked for advice from social media. In 2018, Pearl needed help figuring out an appropriate punishment for her daughter.

She said Thando had lost her spectacles for the fourth time in two years and she was fully and finally fed up.

In the end, the star decided to take away Thando’s TV privileges and no shopping for a year.

Good luck Pearl! We know you can do it!
