I feel the same way and thus go to a college where freshmen are NOT required to live on campus...I would be in hell in a dorm (just the parking garage at my apartment complex is immature enough! :lol: )

I find it incredibly ironic that universities push all this "diversity" business so hard...yet fail to understand NEURO-diversity. We're not all group-oriented.

I don't hate teenagers. However I am incredibly irritated by certain types of teenagers, and sometimes I find them threatening. The kind that's loud for the sake of loudness (always travel in packs) and attention rather than being genuinely excited and are incredibly preoccupied with showing off their coolness/social standing/fancy brands, they irritate me. I also sometimes find them threatening when they are obviously all very psyched up and do that 'scanning the crowd' thing I sometimes see, it means someone's about to get accosted so someone else can prove how tough they are. But they irritate me equally much when they grow up to become shallow adults who care only about external signifier of wealth and status.

I do like teenagers who have that sparkle, the ones that are genuinely interested in something. Yes, even if it's something I'm not personally interested in like clothes design, if they're appreciating the design and not fixating on whether the label is cool and expensive enough to impress their friends. And I always have a soft spot for the ones that are different, because I know how hard that can be.

I love and hate them at the same time. I mean I mostly appear to not like them, but again I do wish to be close. But getting close is the hard part. :lol:

It kind of depends on the school you're at. Most people shouldn't be teenagers (by definition) anymore if you're in college. When I was in junior college, there were mostly kids there straight out of high school who were there because their parents wanted them to be there. I know this isn't the case for everyone, but since junior colleges and (most) state schools accept more people, they get more kids that are there just to please their parents, etc and don't really care about classes, seem immature, and so forth. Typically the tougher, more expensive, or harder to get into your school is, the more serious (about academics) students will be.

For those who actually have something against teenagers because of their experience with them and the fact that they have to dealt with adultism (The belief that adults are superior to teenagers attitude)belief and ideas. You guys should take a look closer to some adults and realize that there is problematic people of all ages and look at the very fact that it isn't always their faults that they turn out to be immature pricks as you people make them out to be.

Even with this neuro-biological discussion about the development of teenagers to adults, one point that must looked into is that brain maturity and brain development is also influenced by the way the person is raised and the kind of environment that they go into meaning that each people will develop at different rate regarding of the speed of neurological development which will always leave room for some teenagers to grow up to be pathetic adults who seems so incompetent with a piss-poor attitude on how to go by things. Also, there's evidence that risk-taking behavior in teenagers does increases the development rate of frontal lobe development. The last thing I want to say regarding to maturity and psychological development is that maturity and immaturity is defined subjectively meaning no one can prove one is mature or not because there is no objective measurement to how mature a person is unless you are referring to biological development which is a different story. Look at how each generation is changing the attitude toward teenagers and maybe you'll understand why some teenagers attempts to stand up for themselves defending against age discrimination. Some adults aren't even capable of taking care of themselves because some of them have been through forced dependence even after when they're 18 and having the privileges to be free of parental control because some of them feel as they're not ready due to the way that they grown up interacting with the environment around them.

In regarding into some of you folk's perception into teenagers who risks their own life for fun and games that isn't appropriate, why not take a piss on college adults who puts vodka into their eyeball because they want to challenge other people into their little game of blinding themselves for fun. Why not take a piss on plenty of adults who seems so in-component that they misraise children just making the future teenagers having to be ranted at. Some of you are right on the fact that age 16-24 are found to be on the highest crime rate in the US, but the fact still remains that majority of the teenagers are not people with dangerous criminal intents and there is plenty of teenagers who are able to make rational thoughts and decisions.

I am currently into high school right now finding myself with certain teenagers who are into being a porn star, engaging into illegal activities such as drinking and smoking, and crapping themselves over because they exploited themselves while I am growing to look at everything around me realizing that age doesn't always matter and finding out that there is pathetic people of all age group. When I saw them into my very eye at first sight, I was into the very side that most of you are on until I find that I cannot blame some of them for turning out that way and decided to no longer belong into the anti-youth side because for the very reason I start to see that some people doesn't seem to have control into how they're turning out because other people have more control over them limiting the opportunity of their choices into life. I have been bullied and mistreated by people my age for about 3 years straight nonstop and had my eye blacked once before I got into the anti-youth side temporarily. When I got myself into a website about teenagers questioning how things are running and got into the other side's views, I begin questioning their and my position which led into my belief that I cannot discriminate and will not attempt to have something against them due to age, race, gender, class because history have shown that cooperation of humanity instead of dissent over one group tend to advance humanity in the end and people often have life issues because they found themselves to be in the position of being discriminated while even often being into the discriminator's side making things worse over time.

I know I might be getting sh** for this, but I find plenty of adultists are just as pathetic as their targets that are having piss-poor attitudes. Since they're the ones feeding the leeches to other people, I have quite a feeling of dissent and spitefulness toward these bastards and am proud that I will not stick their side because I learned my lessons over looking deeper into this matter.


Thank you! I'm so sick of hearing about how bad young people are and how any social problem is their fault.

I agree, the parents of our generation are partly to blame too. :P I hate most other teenagers, but adults are often better.

I' reminded of certain lines from a tv series - two teenagers are having a big row, and the (inept) adult officially in charge says that it's not very mature. their response? 'yes - adults would have strikes - riots - wars...'
Realistically, in many countries most young people are unlikely to equal their parents' living standards due to youth unemployment and so on - and who messed up? Well, not many ceo's, bankers or politicians are teenagers...

Adults are just as bad as teenagers. The difference is that adults have to hide their incompetence and bad sides to find work. Teenagers are allowed to flaunt it.

I also f**kin' hate teenagers, too. They think that they know everything about life. But they end up getting high/drunk, having sex, getting preggers, going to juvie, and believing they're entitled to anything. They even hate other kids who are different from them; therefore, the cliques come to the picture. I thank my lucky stars I wasn't like them back in the day. And what's this whole peer pressure business with them about? Do they enjoy making/manipulating other kids to do things they're not comfortable doing? Whoever said the children are the wave of the future is sorely mistaken. Look where they are today.

Oh yeah, I remember high school being FULL of jerks. I always tried to stay out of it. I even remember during my high school senior year (which I actually enjoyed), I was trying to set a GOOD example to my non-senior friends there, unlike several of the other seniors there,

Today, here in Brockton we still have a lot of rowdy teenagers. There was a book, "The Berenstain Bears and the Big Blooper," that described Brockton's teenagers in a nutshell, including the ones I knew in high school. It involved a part where Sister Bear and her best friend Lizzy Bruin finding a video Lizzy's brother rented, "Trouble at Big Bear High," and decide to watch that, thinking a grown-up video could be fun...

Quote:
The video was called "Trouble at Big Bear High," and it looked pretty grown-up. It was all about teenagers in high school. Sister didn't understand a lot of it.
The teenagers in the video got angry and upset with each other, and Sister didn't always understand why. They teased each other and made fun of each others' clothes. They used a lot of words that Sister didn't understand. Whenever the teenagers got angry and upset, they said words that Sister had never heard before. She figured that these words were sort of like "Phooey!" or "Fudge!" but more grown-up.

Yes, those were supposed to be swear words, and then Sister accidentally says one that evening at dinner, and Mama and Papa Bear go on to explain on why those words are inappropriate, and all is well.
The teenagers at my high school would swear so much, it was like an NC-17 -rated movie!

Well, I had nothing but bad experiences with teenagers at that age but at least teens aren't afraid to tell you they hate your guts and wish they could legally kill you. Adults will smile and pretend to like you before trying to stick their daggers into your back. Good teenagers are MUCH easier to spot than good adults that's for sure!

I wish people would stop generalizing The qualities you've just listen are those of an idiot/ bad person. I know what you mean and it is annoying but This behaviour isn't restricted to Teenagers infact I've met adults who act worse than teenagers ever could and aspies who have all the traits you just described. Many of my freinds are neurotypical and in their teens and they are the most kind hearted, intelligent, beautiful people I have ever met and I am extremelly grateful for them.

So no you don't hate teenagers of the neurotypical variety, you hate stuck up, materialistic people with limited knowledge of the english vocabulary. Yes! There is a difference
