Irritation

[Andromeda18_]

hey peoples,
being a 15 guy myself i just figured i might as well add my opinion.
Yes i do agree that many of us teens are a little out of hand. but that in no way goes for all of us. I dont, but many of my friends do drugs, that doesn't make them hopeless, or stupid. many of them are great people. just because a person does drugs, doesn't make them a bad person. I have one friend who is pretty much a lost cause, however, he is still a good person,(just a little confused), although i can see by looking at him how adults can make assumptions about teens. I have another friend who has all sorts of problems at home and uses drugs as a way to get away from it all. he isnt stupid, in fact he is one of the smartest and most creative people i know. He just needs to put his creativity towards something a little more useful lol.

It's true that doing drugs doesn't mean a person's bad or stupid. It does mean, in my opinion, that they're weak. It's just like your friend who has a lot of trouble at home, he uses drugs to get away from it all because he isn't strong enough to deal with it. And trust me, I'm speaking from experience, I had a fucked up life with lot's of problems but I was always strong enough to face them, in fact it's because of all I went through that I'm strong and don't run away from things. I never used drugs, despite of everything and I perceive people like your friend as being utterly weak. I believe you when you say he's a great person but people either get into drugs because they can't deal with their problems or peer pressure or because they are just plain stupid (which doesn't mean they're not intelligent in a general way).

Now, as for teens being arrogant. shure, we can be arrogant at times but that doesn't make us totally disrespectful. sure there are many disrespectful teens, I know some people who have gone up to teachers and told them to "fuck off" right to their face. However, they have only done things like these when people/ teachers have pissed them off first. most teens dont do things without a reason. Although i do agree that some people are pretty disrespectful without a reason, the majority of all teens are not.

You don't need to be a teen to be arrogant and there are many teens who aren't arrogant. However, when you say that 'most teens don't do things without a reason' that's true and it's not. It's a fact that people's brain isn't fully formed until the age of 18 and the emotions' center is the first one to be formed. Because the emotions' center is first one to be formed it isn't controlled by the other parts of the brain which are still in formation. That's why teens have exagerated reactions to almost everything. So yeah, you probably have a reason to do something but you overreact to it which is why people say you're disrespectful. And believe me, I was a teen not so long ago and I remember perfectly what it was like, when you get past your teens you'll notice the difference even if now you can't understand what I'm talking about.

Many girls at my school wear mini skirts, tight shirts, etc... and if they want to dress like that i have no problem with it.

Of course you don't. :p

Now about the issue of irrisponsible parents. I personally do not believe that if a kid is an idiot (i would use other words but i dont wanna get banned) that it is the parents fault. My druggie friend (who i mentioned above), has responisble parents, both of them are teachers. They cried when he told them that he was gonna drop out in may (when he turns 16). it is not their fault that he is deciding to be a moron and wreck his life. However, i also believe that irrisponsible parents do have a major effect on parents. my other druggie friend (the creative one), has all sorts of trouble at home, and as i said before, he uses drugs as a way to get away from it all.

When a child is born he/she is like an book without anything written in it. The child will be molded by the sorrounding environment and the parents play a crucial role. If a 14 year old acts like an idiot it's not the parents' fault, it's natural of teens to sometimes act like idiots but what we're talking about here goes beyond that. We're talking about serious problems that didn't exist some decades ago which means that something changed. Parents nowadays allow children everything and overprotect them, because of that they turn out to be a bunch of spoiled brats that nobody can put up with. That is indeed the parents' fault!
