Hi I am a teenager and it really bothers me when twenty year olds or so complain about the way teenagers act, you were just teenagers yourselfs. And because of the way people react when we do things its almost like a game, we like to push peoples buttons and see how they react to little things but because we’re teenagers they freak. Also with the stereotypes of teenagers nobody expects us to do good things and even when we do good things nobody sees them or talks about them only when a teen screws up. And with a low expetancy of what we can do we just stay there because thats what everyone expects.

Why are all teenagers lumped into one group? The obnoxious-stupid-rowdy-ignorant-loudmouthed group? Firstly (and truthfully), a lot of my friends fall into that group, and I know I do a lot of the time also. But it’s hard for me to say why all teens do it. I know why I do. I do because it’s fun at the time. It’s amusing to me. Some do it to be rude and obnoxious, and that’s just a reflection on their home-training, not mine. The root of it all is why we do it, now the fact that we do.

I’ve read about 4 posts so far on here and 3 out of them were about teenagers. We’re just being. . us!

Most of the teens that like to get roudy are guys. They see a girl that they like so they start showing off. It’s called immature.

At the time, teenagers misbehaving was seen as a symptom of the decline of civilisation, and was attributed variously to the end of conscription, lack of religion, poor parenting or other such BS. Kids have always been like that, and probably always will be. It’s nothing new, and they’ll eventually grow out of it – well most of them do!

Name : Pete-W, Gender : M, Age : 33, City : Sydney, State : NA, Country : Australia, Education level : Over 4 Years of College, Social class : Middle class,I am the perfect description of your annoying teenager. I’m a senior in high school in all honors level courses. I was labled with A.D.D. when I was young, but then they decided that I wasn’t being challenged in school and put me in harder (gifted) classes. I am also involved in theater, and am going to attend college this fall to begin my B.A. in Theater. I don’t do drugs. I don’t drink. I don’t hate people. My father left my family when I was very young. I love my mother and the only thing we argue about is me being too loud when she has to get up for work in the morning. I’m a good kid. I’m a good adult. I’m eighteen years old. But, in public I’ll laugh. I’ll make fun of old people. I’ll jump around and make jokes with my friends. It’s not peer pressure. It’s trying to escape the world. It’s trying to have fun any way we can. Just becoming an adult within the past few months has matured me. However, I still need to have fun. It’s it better that I’m trying to have fun by acting like a kid rather than stealing from stores for an adrenaline rush? I think it’s mostly a way to have fun and experience life. It’s not peer pressure. It’s free being.

Name : Jesse Chapman, City : Palm Coast, State : FL, Country : United States,There are multiple reasons for teenagers acting out. They realize that very soon, it will be socially unacceptable for them to be as loud and annoying as possible. They are the ‘look-at-me’ kids- they always want all the attention on them. Or they’re just having fun at others’ expense. I know that I will make fun of merchandise in stores if it is worth making fun of- normally something that no one in their right mind would wear or something that has something stupid written on it (i.e. ‘Brunettes do it better’- it is just sad that people will walk around in that). That is simply a product of my cynical sense of humor and I don’t do it loudly because I know I will annoy people if I do.
