I don't get along with teenager. (most of them) they are always rude to me and yell thing at me.
I minding my own buisness and they always have to yell something at me.
dam,kids.

Yep, they're pretty much all jackasses.

As a teenager, I can tell you, yes, most other teenagers I know are mean, ignorant, insensitive, immature, thuggish, extremely discriminatory, hypocritical, and at times, downright evil.

It is worth noting that all of the Autistic adolescents I know are ALL nice, decent people, whereas the same could be said of very few of the NT adolescents I know.

Most individuals in this age group have little (or no) concept of how their actions and words feel to another human being. Many seem to be convinced they know it all, mainly because they haven't even scratched the surface of what there is to actually know. Then there is a lack of discipline and/or poor parenting. Combine a mishandled ego with a serious lack of empathy and no sense of recourse and you often wind up with a very rude and crass individual.

Best response is to ignore it. It's just not worth it. Unless they are your kid... Then it's on!

I had that problem growing up when others and I reached puberty.

One of my childhood friends hit it very early upon turning 12 and let her hormones go wild. From there on, she turned out to be all of the above.

A cousin of mine who is 7 years younger than I am looked up to me until she reached 13. After that, I was not cool anymore and she would act like I would not exist and would talk to me like I was an idiot. All of a sudden, she was very cold.

I am finding that people on the spectrum don't re-act will to a lot of teenagers. Although, there are ones out there who are accepting of everyone. I met some wonderful teens who acted just the opposite.

For instance, I was 21 years old I met a very helpful and sweet 14 year old boy who seemed to be troubled. He was willing to reach out to everyone.

This thread reminded me why all my friends were adults when I was a teenager! I barely knew anyone my own age, kept to myself at school, etc.

It really depends. Some are, but certainly not all of them. Also, they tend to be more jackass-ey when they are in groups and everybody is excited and laughing and having a good time. They may yell something at somebody that is mean but they don't see it as mean, they see it as funny. Although some are just flat out mean.

Mine are pretty nice, and I'm not saying that just because they are mine. They wouldn't ever hurt someone's feelings on purpose unless the person deserved it (ie;being in an argument or fight with them, doing something mean to somebody else or to them, etc), but sometimes kids don't see things the way everybody else does.

I'm a teenager myself, and, since I must pass most of my time with them, I can tell that, exept some people I know that are nice and friendly, most of them are nasty and hateful, expecially girls.

Most teenagers can be very nasty towards people who are different.

Most teenagers I have met or known about in my life think they know everything, are arrogant, have bad attitudes, poor tempers, are discriminative, hypocritical, ignorant, and overall terrible people.

Some of them are ok but most of them are idiots.

It depends.

My experience is that ones who had similar interests to me were more supportive and actually tolerated me. I've also found those in church groups to be very genuine and friendly people as well

The "to-cool-for-school" group who think their above everyone else and do "adult things" at an early age are the jackasses.

Some are, some aren't. Depends on the person in question.

Hmm, cant speak for everyone but I think early adolescents and preteens are just trying to figure things out, and are very fixated on not being out of the norm, and seem to show a lot of contempt and make fun of people who don't try to act older.
However, they are still children and don't understand the magnitude of their actions, most have low self-esteem too, probably feel like aspies themselves...but they just kids.

High school, definitely by 10th grade, maybe people are self-conscious, but you're practically adults now,and you understand your worth and how to make it in life.

If you're an @ss then, you're probably not gonna grow out of it, rather you have to change yourself.

I consider myself to be a very nice person, but I would have to say that all the other teenagers are very VERY different to me. Rude, mean, rave parties, drunk parties, smoking at school and all these things...
I don't know how the world is going to have a future like this?

I hated high school. I liked having friends who were older than me if I could get them. I like college much better.
