Why? Do you stereotype teenagers? Do you believe that they all cuss and are just plain evil? Why?

Most teens seek acceptance from their friends and peer groups. So if their peers do bad things, they will too, because they don't want to be alone in life.

Most teenagers just do what thier friends do even if they know its wrong. But not all teenagers are the same. Not all cuss and steal. Teenagers are sometimes stereotyped and its not fair to them. They are also not always trusted when going by thmeselves or with friends into stores to shop.

I do not believe all teenagers are the same. Not all teenagers are evil. Some are good, others are not. Some cuss, others don't.

No, of course not. teenagers come in all the ranges of goodness and badness, just like any age group.
some times adults forget they were young once, and they tend to generalize. Also, there has always been a generational gap, and it leds to misunderstanding. It happened when I was a teen in the 70's and it happens now.

I think the bad teenagers should just stop reinforcing negative stereotypes, like a lot of the idiots on this website.

Everyone is an individual. Teens are no different. They must make choices in their lives. Everybody needs friends and other people and to be accepted. Sometimes people are victims of circumstance or are a detrimental environment. People have made it out of a bad environment and have done well. Others have come from good and privileged backgrounds and have done badly or become bad persons.
Everybody needs to find themselves.

No!!! They are all individuals. I believe that through the media we only hear about the ones who have made bad choices, but not the millions of teens who are loving, generous people.

Since teenagers are people, and all people are different, then it is only natural that all teens are not the same.

EVERYONE is different! Not all teens use foul language, not all of them smoke, not all of them use drugs, Many do their homework on time, some even do community work without being asked.
I know many teens that are nice and I would trust them with my life and some that I wouldn't trust for anything!
