Adults HATE teens??

why do adults on here hate teens so much?? they say that all of us drink have sex do drugs are stupid and that we dont care about anything just to let you know im not out there running the streets drinking alcohol or partying hard or boys or nothing like that and most of my friends arent either im a very mature and responsible teenager and i care about my future and education and i never had a boyfriend i never even had my first KISS yet!!!!! and im saving myself for marriage and i pay attention contastly in class





so yeah adults never look at the entire picture on here not ALL of us teens act like what you see on MySpace or YouTube some make very good decisions and are very intelligent and care about whats going on in our country and whats going on in this crazy world we live in





why do most adults hate us?? were not ALL bad

Adults HATE teens??
I'm an adult and remember feeling that way. I waited until I was almost married. I never used drugs but got accused of it. Now as a mom of teenagers, I talk about my mistakes, hoping they might see how stupid they were. I have taught them everything I know, now I have to let go and let them fly. If they make bad choices, I let them know I WILL be there for them if they fall.





I think we as parents got a way with a lot more. And our "hate" is really fear that teens are going exactly what we did. But the more teens are trusted with responsibility knowing both the good and the consequences of choices, We as adults can either sit in fear or believe that we raised our kids with the best knowledge and back them up with they need it.
Reply:First of all, we don't hate all teens. Remember we were teens too! Speaking for myself I was a drug using, time wasting, fun loving, drinking idiot until I went into the service. Then I had to make a decision grow up or be in trouble all the time. I choose the trouble.





Now, if you wonder why adults are worried about the behavior of teens, especially our children is because we have been there, done that and bought the T shirt.





I think what is percieved as hate often is ill concieved. I think the word is "concerned" because we don't want you to go through the pain of learning the way we did..the hard way?





Realizing that you are already thinking this is a bunch o BS I hope that you at least try to understand that I am sincere in this answer. Even responsible teens make the mistakes we did, but if teens would listen to some of us geezers you can still have fun and short cut the hard crap.
Reply:we don't hate you we are just a little upset on how you turned out.your rebelious and we don't understand why,maybe we make it to easy for you. you have cell phones,cars and god knows what else. you are being raised by rap,playstation, and t.v.yes some of it is our fault but there comes a point in your life where you have to realize that you cannot lean on mom and dad anymore.
Reply:I don't think adults hate teens they just think they are immature. i think most adults think that of teens because teens have much less responsibilities. A teen can get away with murder because a teen is an adults responsibility. I'm 16 years old and i do party i do get drunk and i do act irresponsible sometimes, but i think we got to have a little of fun. Because i do good in school, and as soon as this is over and i get to collage is all working hard. and you know i bet most of the adults who say that bull of teens did the same kind of irresponsible things they conplane about. :)
Reply:i think its bcuz there r so many bad things out in the real world that adults think that teens r not capable of making very wise decisions bcuz of peer pressure...while its tru that a lot of teens r very responsible..most find it hard to resist the temptation of smoking or drugs or sex...n its like u said, not all adults hate teens, a lot of them try to give teens a better self-esteem so that they don't fall to peer pressure
Reply:nope.... maybe teens maybe just being underestimated.... adults doesnt know that they can do silly things too...the wildest in your mind
Reply:I love teens. I remember being a teen and how hard it was. In my opinion,teens are the best people to get to know, they need respect just as we adults need respect. If more adults would treat teens respectful there would be fewer problems with them.
Reply:Good for you! Keep it up!
Reply:It's stereotypes.. but i know what you mean.. sometimes it does seem like they hate us.. but they don't. I think it's mostly that how we act is far far different than they would have ever acted. Don't worry about what others think, just live your life, while being happy and healthy.
Reply:I am an adult and I agree that there are adults out there that feel that way. The problem is that they are doing what many of us do with all groups of people...we stereo type. I get along great with teens. I am an older adult but for some reason I can talk to all kids because I have my own. When you have children..you can look at anybody elses child and see your own in them. I guess thats why I like teens.
Reply:I don't hate you. I actually teach you and like you. There are some teens that are rude and disrespectful to others and themselves, but that's a minority at my school. Unfortunately we more frequently hear about the ones who are "bad". Also, the ones who rely on their parents to get them out of anything and everything give your generation a bad rep. However, throughout time most adults have thought teens were terrible. They thought it when I was one and they'll think it in 20 years. It's a matter of perspective.
Reply:because theres so many questions on here about teen pregnancies
Reply:cause they don't like how we treat them and not all of us do that... and not all of us cause trouble...
Reply:I think you're hangin' out with the wrong adults! Most teens I know are terrific young people with strong values and positive direction. Of course, there are a few... As for you, how do you relate to adults? That might be part of the problem. Do you come on as arrogant? Do you help out at home and show responsibility when it comes to your chores, including school? Some kids want total freedom but aren't cooperative at home. That would tend to give adults a bad impression of teens. It works both ways.
Reply:You tell them grl ! I know that feeling. I get ragged on all the time. I like giving advice but most of the time it's, WHAT DO YOU KNOW YOUR JUST A KID.
Reply:thank you!


im a junior and i have never been drunk or had sex.





hello? 4.0
Reply:teens have, by far, a much narrower outlook on things than adults do. its just scientific fact. like your question, if adults hated teens so much then why are all your teachers adults? you little clique is just too plain stupid to see that.
