That is one of the most ridiculous blanket statements I've ever heard. I will admit we live in a different generation; one that feels entitled to things. But if you really know any teenagers, you'll find that they can be the most wonderful, caring people on earth. There are baddies too, but that happens in the general population.

There are many, many bad people out there, but there are many, many good people out there. Don't judge one category of people by a few bad examples. That's called prejudice.  :notworthy: I can be guilty of it sometimes myself, but I don't want to broadcast it as gospel.  :heart:

I think you people are hypercritical!

"Do not let anyone put down your youth"    "The bloom of youth"- scripture in the bible

We where are once teenagers. Trying to find our own way. At that time the world did owe us because they always handed it to us if we like it or not. Education, Love, Youth. Hormones. If we were directed or forced. Given the tools. The attention. What type of people could we be.


Do as I say and  as I do. not do as I say not as I do.

Obey the parents - scripture
"the rod"- scripture

I don't think they are that bad, just put your self in thier shoes. They spend 6-8 hours a day in basically a prison, most of them don't get nothing out of it. Some people get paid for doing that stuff. When you say they think you owe them something you do, and that is to treat them like adults, because they are, not teens. :peace:

I have a teen son who is lazy, irresponsible and self-centered.  However, he isn't doing drugs and he isn't hanging around with a wild crowd. He has a job that he hates, but at least he goes to it.  He knows he needs to work to pay his phone bill and car insurance. Otherwise, he'd be slothing around the house!

Teenagers can do dumb things and make bad decisions... but I like to think it's because they're learning. They're not quite adults yet but in some ways they're treated like it, but they're still relatively young and easily influenced. As they age, they'll look back and realize how terribly they were acting and grow up.

You're grouping the wrong people together. That's not teenagers. Those are idiots. Idiots come in all ages from the young to the old.

Since you're supposedly such a good person who is always helping people have you ever considering helping these teenagers by giving them something more constructive to do with their time?

You are so wise!  Yes, teens do make bad decisions but they have to learn somehow.  :)

You do realize that every generation says this or similar about the teenagers of their time, right?
Hoodlums, gangsters, juvenile delinquents, bobby-soxers, punks.
All words used about teens, in different time periods.

I think paints and snowah both have it right... We adults sometimes expect teens to be more like adults and don't give them time to grow into adulthood. They tend to be more self-centered because while they were growing up, most had their parents give them their wants and needs, and so have just learned to be more self-centered instead of self-motivated to get what they want on their own. Teens major responsibility is their schooling where they get poor grades and perhaps even trouble (eg academic probation from playing a school sport if their grades are too low); they get "embarrassed" more often with their failures or the failures they see in others. Thus they hate saying they don't know something, and are more apt to take on a know-it-all attitude. They are beginning to awake to their world around them and see that their parents are also fallible humans, and have witnessed what the older generations have done to the world for good or ill. They are also most influenced by their peers, either their actual friends or even other teens portrayed in Hollywood. Both of these things lend to them listening more to other teens than from older adults, including their parents or other authority figures.

Not all teenagers are bad just depends on the environment that they grow up In and what influences them. what you're passionate about life can make you do things that people don't like, but not all teenagers do this!
