I HATE TEENAGERS!! !

Post Reply New Topic

Maybe by "teen" we mean immature idiots that somehow get into college, and flunk out 3 months later, if not sooner..

Thats what I imagined it meant anyway.

I speak my mind quite a lot... sometimes that is a good thing... I just struggle so much to cope with other teens because they are very loud, often rude and unpredictable. I am VERY small for my age so teenagers tower above me which I find intimidating. I also have Tourette syndrome which makes me copy swear words really loudly and being in a room full of swearing teens REALLY sets me off! Unfortunately, I had a very bad time during my teen years which I suppose could have been the reason behind my teenphobia...

I totally agree. I mean, I've met nice people my age and I;ve had friends, but the vast majority drive me crazy. I can't wait to be an adult - at work I always get along better with adults. I love small children, but I can't stand how phony and desperate teens are, and how focused they are on partying, and their complete disregard for important issues. I'm at college now, and people are a lot less intelligent than I was hoping, although by no means all of them. What a shock that I read the newspaper every day and I know what's going on in the world! How incredible that I don't spend weekends throwing up or nursing a hangover because I was working or seeing a movie with someone. Idk, I hate people my age haha....but not all, just most

I'm with you, I dispise them so!! !! !! I made a late-night show on public access satirizing teen life and the typical stereotypes there. I should put it on YouTube.

But now I'm starting to feel that I should do a second one. This time, it's targeting NTs.

Adolescence is a time of major physiological and hormonal change and one's transition into adulthood. Therefore, it seems understandable how someone can be rude, arrogant, and insufferable when dealing with their changing body and mind. Of course, this change can also be a positive force on a person, as Selo has noted above. I was obsessed with science when I was very young, it dampened a bit during the drudgery of grade-school, and then I rediscovered my passion for science when I was a teenager. This time of psychological change allowed be to see what I really was interested in and wanted out of life.

All in all, I don't have any strong feelings towards any given group of people one way or another; I prefer to analyze people on a case-by-case basis.

I have been described before as having the mentality of a 70-year old. I don't know if that's true but I don't like spending my time around other people my own age (except my friend). Since he left school and got a job I find I spend more of my time in the Computer room with the IT technicians doing IT things than I do anywhere else. Either that or in the library, usually using a computer.

I completely agree with you Jellybean, let me say that first.
When I was younger (about nine or ten), I became fully aware that I would become a teenager one day. It was rather daunting because I always knew teenagers to be the ones who walked down the street in groups of five or more, looking very menacing. I've never been particularly fond of groups and so I thought the teenagers were scary. I didn't like them. When I became a teenager, my feelings never changed and now at the age of 18, I still get very, very nervous and uncomfortable whenever I see more than two teenagers together.

I shared your dislike of teenagers. I think it's because I was bullied in school by my peers, who where teens. I even have this aversion to the teens in my church, probably more so than usual because the people who bullied me where "Christians".

I'm 22 now, but I still feel the same way.

I see what you mean!

Teenagers are always talking in school. Some of them talk so much that their voice becomes annoying! Like I want to hear about their social lives!

What's completely illogical is that they tlak about leisurely things too often. For example, in a physics class, someone talked about Euro 2008! We don't go to school to do that - as a matter of fact that's something you must do OUTSIDE of school.

Teenagers are idiots.

Time for me to come in this thread and defend my fellow teenagers again! 'Cause I seem to be the only one doing so! <3

I know. I love how we're always traveling in packs and making everyone else feel insignificant. It's just one reason why we're so awesome.


Oh my God! You mean there are people who would rather have fun with their pals than obsess over things that they're not legally allowed to have a say in!? *Gasp!*


At least they have social lives.

Remember that without talking, the human race would die out. We would have no way to communicate our thoughts, emotions, needs, and opinions. It would be all chaos and suffering.

And teenagers talk about everything - for us, school isn't for learning as much as it's just to chat with our friends. And I guess since almost everyone in this thread is a teen who hates their own kind, I guess I'm the only one who understands this (read: has friends!).

Just because school is for learning doesn't mean that it can't be for anything else. Most people hate memorizing pointless facts when they could be laughing and having a good time.


We may be in school, but we don't want to talk about boring schoolwork! We want to insult idiots, share crackpot theories about the opposite sex, b***h over our parents, and quote rappers. Duh.


Oh, that is awesome. If you're a teenager, cursing = good. It's like a rite of passage into our crazy culture that's better than everyone else's.

Also, note that people who think cursing is bad are wrong. See, we teenagers know the truth. "Cursing" means nothing - they're just words, people. They're only taboo because some Dutch professor 350 years ago decided they should be.

Well, I'm a teenager, and my view is entirely neutral.

I honestly can't see how someone can simply "like" or "dislike" teenagers as a whole. Being a teenager isn't following some ideal, it's a group of people of a particular age group...it's impossible to brand them in any way, may it be positive or negative. I mean, it's like asking me what I think of people who wear red shirts; it's an arbitrary means of categorization. I've met teenagers I like, and teenagers I don't like, just like the rest of the population.



Ouch. Though even if I had friends in school, socialization would take the back seat to learning. I understand perfectly well, I simply choose to place academics over socialization. When people talk during class, it's not only self-defeating, but it's disruptive and rude to the people around them.

I know. That's a lot of what I think, but I generally have a positive view of teenagers because I know of only 3 or 4 I really hate. And they're not rude or mean, per se, but useless and static and generally a waste of carbon. They're the people who never do anything besides talk to themselves and live in their own little world that couldn't be further from the truth.


I think it's good to point out that in almost all cases socializing is learning. It's a different kind of learning, yes, but it's still learning - learning about how to interact with people, mainly. But within a class or school, by just talking or listening you can learn all this and more:

- What's new
- What's good
- What's over
- Who's different
- Who's doing what with who
- Why event X happened
- What event Y is about to happen

That's just the beginning. There's a whole world of teen excitement out there, and it can be immensely entertaining to know. Again, it's a different kind of learning, but one that's just important as complicated formulas that the class has been reviewing for weeks. One may think they know everything when in reality all they know is brainy stuff, for knowing about the people around them is just as valuable.


But the people around them are also talking, and the people around them are talking... it goes on and on. I know a couple kids who don't necessarily talk in class, but they don't mind everyone else talking. I find it easy to filter out what I don't want to hear, though usually nothing falls under that category.

Keep in mind, just because someone isn't outgoing and social doesn't mean that they are a waste of space. Some people are just more inward-focused than others, and don't make friends as easily (like myself).



But I see it differently. Complicated formulas may be dry, but they will serve as the building blocks for whatever you will do in the future in that subject. Talking to people can be entertaining, but I cannot understand how how the minor happenings in my peer's lives is more valuable than mathematics or science, which form the basis for our understanding in the world. I just generally don't care about people's personal lives; it doesn't benefit me to learn that teen A is dating teen B. Then again, that's just me, and I'm not very social, but it really depends on what sort of person you are and what are your interests.

My basic gist is that teenagers are neither bad nor good, and their character can't be judged as a whole. Even the term "teenager" is entirely arbitrary; nothing changed from age twelve to thirteen, and nothing will probably change from age nineteen to twenty.

I have no problem with introverts 'cause I am friends with some, but the people I'm describing are a single-digit number and not shyer people as a whole. Most aren't introverted; these are people who only care about themselves, have no friends, are constantly ignored and don't know it, have no hobbies other than trying to make themselves look the tiniest bit significant, think that people want to have anything to do with them when they don't, and often make meager attempts to make fun of others because they have no other way to feel noticed. It's a different brand of people than those who are quiet and keep to themselves, whom I usually don't mind.


It's okay. I do see where you're coming from, but for our own opinions I guess we shall agree to disagree on that front.


That is a good point. There are some one-year jumps that can be big, but I do agree that those are probably not the ones.

I see where you're coming from. I mistook what you were saying as far as selfish individuals go; the type of people who would turn their back on you in an instant if it meant they could achieve just a little bit of popularity.

BTW, I would like to apologize if I came off as critical or severe. Sometimes I can seem like kind of an ass in text, but I'm really not.

Now, this is seems to be a typical view of people in general, but especially teens: If you have no friends, you deserve none, it's all your fault, and you have committed some sort of crime, period. You don't just deserve to be lonely, on top of that you deserve to be punished for having no friends, and that's what people pick on you.
