If you are a mom who is going nuts looking for a cool idea for a birthday party for an awkward teenager, do away with the usual mundane setting up of all party preparations and settle for not only the coolest themed-party event of the year but duh! the next talk of the town at the school cafeteria- paintball!!! Every single year, you go through all the hassle of creating a new theme for your kid to be happy, it’s understandable because you love him very much and you want the best, but this year you have got to let go a little bit and let live. You not only are relieving yourself of the burden of the party after-math because of the chaos and litter the guests invited and uninvited has left the previous night. You also are becoming the candidate for the coolest mom ever! This is going to be a real hit! Imagine a couple dozen teenagers break out of their shells, have fun, bond and develop a deeper friendship over two rounds of colorful mess. You are going to be real famous, the go-to mom for real cool and fun stuff! You don’t even have to stress about costumes for your teen’s party event for this year because most game packages include a complete set of paintball gear. These games require skills that will bring out the leadership quality in them, the drive to initiate, the will to survive and the cleverness of a hunter. These skills can equip these awkward and insecure young people to face everyday struggles and make them tough. You see, some of these teenagers, especially those going through the puberty phase, feel very awkward and insecure that they are better left to express themselves because they are surely going to gain confidence on their own. No one can ever explain what they go through emotionally, not even themselves. Giving them options and outlets to express the anger and whatever extreme feelings they keep inside might just be what they need. Bullying is pretty common during high school, and there is not telling your kid could be suffering from it. Giving them a wee bit of space and a fun unforgettable birthday present could be the only thing that will keep you from watching your teenager completely withdraw from the real world, or worse grow up a delinquent adult. Guiding them by listening and accepting the consequences of the decisions they make will help them grow up to be more mature adults. Hovering is never the brilliant idea, never.

Paintball was such a blast. I was able to attend a friend’s weekend party where all we did was play paintball. It was an exhilarating experience. The competitive in me came out when the paintball game started to gain pace. Before, I was not at all concerned with strategy when it came to paintball. All I did was just point and shoot. Upon playing paintball with my friends, the game started to have a certain charm to it. Playing paintball guns really is the new game in town. Boys and girls can play the game and be competitive with each other.
