blame those who have set that path for us, most teenagers are like that!!!
its the same with black people, people watch us in the store, i dont mind it, because i have nothing to be worried about, i get mad at the blacks who steal, because their actions are making me look bad.
people have a bad habit of assuming that everyone of a particular group does something because a few did it!!!!

This is nothing new about teenager-ism.
I done it been there and got the t-shirt. This has been going on since the beginning of time. When you get older you too will feel the same as adults today. The best thing for you like me is to remember what it was like to be that age so you can help and understand the next generation of teenagers.
Keep your sunny side up and keep on trucking....

What do you mean "looks like a criminal" -- how do you think criminals look? I bet the kids who shoplift look more or less like you -- just kids.
The clerks are playing the odds: a disproportionate amount of the theft is due to teenagers.
That's why they follow you.
Yes, it's annoying, but there's not a lot you can do about it. Just smile and go about your business.

How do you know you're being followed? On the other hand, How many adults have been teenagers and still remember what they and or their friends did at your age?

They favorite saying is: Don't argue with me, I was like you, but you have to wait much time to be like me.
My favorite answer:Yes, indeed but you'll never be like me again :)
The main idea is that grown up people think that old people are more responsible then a teenager.

Thats just how adults are they suck!But to tell the Truth they don't trust us because other teens ruin it for us by stealing or breaking stuff...

Probably because the adults who do this think all teenagers are rotten like THEY were when THEY were teenagers.

because they think that teenagers are irresponsible but you can't speak for all adults though.
