I am 15 years old and i haven't been diagnosed with AS but i feel i have it , although people who are around me just think i'm weird/ different in a bad way (these people really are not my friends)
but my friends think i am funny , weird and eccentric , but in a good way.

what im trying to say is not all NT are the same, all my friends who are all NT are all very individual , so they are open - minded .

I think the most important thing to remember is that most teenagers are all mouth and no guts,
they follow the crowd and some of them, if they were on thy're own would leave you alone.

When i was 13 , i was REALLY scared of my peers, i had terrible social anxiety, but almost 3 years later , now i have left school, all these horrible little teenagers have matured, even though they are still adolecents , they have turned out ok, i know, as i find it annoying , when girls or boys shout or scream it can get unbearable! but at the end of the day, in my opininon , they don't mean any harm, most of them just wanna look tough(boys) or just want attention (girls,especially from the opposite sex)

Crowds of teenagers , for me even as a teenager are very scary, but i also find crowds of adults scary too.

And i think it's worse when supposedly grown up men and women in big crowds are loud and sometimes drunk.

some people on here who may not be from the UK may not of experienced the kind of behaviour that comes from pissed football fans, they're not all like that , but most of them are and i hate them!

especially when it is a hot sunny day, and the football has been on, and people have gone to the pub to watch it. All these football fans who range from the age of about 19 - 40 start hurling abuse at any lady that walks by. i find it discusting when it happens to a girl of my age and i hate it even more when a girl whether they are my age or not encourages this kind of behaviour and "lap it up"

:oops:

My general opinion on teenagers is that a lot of them are very immature. I know there are exceptions, but the majority of them just need to be avoided until they're about 30 or so. (Not to offend any members who might be in that age range of 13-30, it's just as a general NT observation.)


Didn't Sixties activist Jerry Rubin say, "Don't trust anyone under 30"? :wink:

I also don't like teenagers much, in my city, they're constantly jaywalking and extremely noisy and foul-mouthed, they'd even make a sailor blush with their language. I admit that sometimes I may have a potty mouth, but I watch my language in most places, especially if there are young children around. I seem to remember that when I was in high school, we were in class longer than they are today, and it's to the point where I avoid the area around that campus when they get out. They're a traffic hazard in that they don't care about their own safety as they cross the street where they feel like it, even if there is heavy traffic. On the buses, they get rude if someone tries to get off as they have to move, and the divers have had to yell at them to move back or the bus isn't going anywhere. Now, I haven't had to use public transportation much lately, and it's nice not having to deal with rude teenagers.

As far as bullying goes, for me, the worst time was in grades 4-7, once I moved before the 8th grade, the bullying stopped. In high school, I didn't experience much bullying at all. I was in the band and debate team, with more mature kids who accepted me as they were just as geeky as I was. I also went to the rival high school to the bullies from elementary school.

im not scared of teenagers or dont like them. most of them are ok. im 22 now. i used to be more scared of them when i was a teenager because msot of the local ones my age bullied me, and chased me down the street on their bikes and skate boards.

i am wary of groups of male teenagers that are hanging around togetehr because this sort cause trouble... one or 2 teenagers on their own is not a problem... its when theres more than 4 when i deliberatly detour if i see any groups... i go round the long way to avoid them

I can definately relate. I'm 24, and kids terrify me, especially kids around the ages of 12-15 or so. It brings back too many bad memories.

I'm getting paranoid about Summer, because of the Teenagers, and even the younger Kids in my Area. Even kids as young as 6 can be jerks. Kids ages 12 to 15 are Evil and Kids between the ages 6 and 15 are Ignorant towards people who are different.

No I'm not afraid of teens since I am 19 will be turning 20 in August. I usually don't spend any time with teens. I spend more of my time with people who are older than me. I never had much or less interaction with my own peers. I always felt why try.

grades 4-8 definitely were the hardest for me... so many preteens/teenagers are trying to fit in and everyone is under pressure to make friends and whatnot and so they tease each other. not that that justifies other kids being a**holes, but it is understandable to an extent. i feel like i was shunned in middle school but in high school i was always able to find a decent group of friends. once i started taking some classes for people with emotional disabilities i made a lot more friends and came out of my shell way more than i had during the previous 2 years of high school. i thikn the smaller classes made it easier for me to make friends adn there was less chaos all the time. and every once in a while someone would flip out. entertainment! heheh.

im not afraid of teenagers but i think there are way too many teenagers who seem to lack basic manners! and i see this more in more in small children too... just the other day at IHOP i saw a father not say a word to his toddler who was jumping up and down on the booth seat, despite there being a family on the other side of the seat. ridiculous!! ! if i were that other family i would have been enraged. and the family to my right, (the seats are separated by dark blue glass window things), was letting their toddler bang on the window with silverware. so silly. parents are so afraid of disciplining their children i guess. :evil:
