Do you teenagers hate being patronized?

Question

Do you ever feel like you're being treated like a child?

Answer 1

LaLunalovegood's answer is very insightful...

I, personally, believe that today's 20 to 35 year-olds are more disrespectful that the current crop of today's teens. The former group is not solely responsible for their poor attitudes, as much of the blame is can be placed on their parents' reckless lack of discipline for their kid's bad behaviors; only then to blame everyone else for their offspring's unacceptable behavior because they overindulged them into a manic state...

I am generalizing, this is true... But poor behavior and habits that were bred into someone are going to be patronized by those who, by age and/or wisdom, know better than to put up with it...

So, new parents out there: Before you go running to your doctor for a prescription of Ritalin because little Johnny won't do what you tell him, maybe you should try other 'behavioral adjustment' methods...;)

Just once, I'd like to see a prescription that read, "Administer one solid a$$-whipping per fit or transgression. Refill: As needed"

Answer 2

Uh, I am a teen, but I have to admit that a lot of teenagers deserve it. It's as if they just keep getting dumber & less mature. I'm some of the only lasting generation that is respectable. My friends & I hate what's happening & what's to come for the generations proceeding. Peace.
