Teenagers being brand conscious, uncaring and disrespectful.?

Question

Hi. I need help with a Persuasive Text thing on Teenagers being brand conscious, uncaring and disrespectful.
Please give me some points.

Answer 1

Are you trying to agree or disagree with this idea? Persuasion can be in either direction.

From my own experience (and this is a complete generalization) today's teens care too much about the wrong things, such as those things you mention about being brand conscious and disrespectful. Any adult past his/her 30's will have noticed this as a radical change from the way they were able to express at the teen stage.
Ask a senior citizen about this and they'll likely tell you that our youth today ARE all these things, to the detriment of our society and the angst of their parents and grandparents.

I can only think that teens will grow up and hopefully learn somewhere along the way that you catch more bees with honey than with vinegar, and that it pays to be kind and respectful. The brand conscious thing in all likelihood stems from the often abundant lifestyles of their parents who also never had to deal with extreme want--such as that which was experienced by seniors during the Great Depression years.

Answer 2

Todays teens care more about cliques and more about the wrong things then about grades and friends and other skills they will need later on in life. In high school alot of drama happens and is based on other reason and things taht people wouldnt even imagine of when they were kids. Just ask your parents, and they had kids who would do things with each other like have sex with people of the opposite sex and etc, but today its who slept with whose boyfriend, or who has an STD, and who's talking to who, or those confusing conversations, like Sally told Bob to tell Ginger to tell Sarah that Ben's sister Greta told Karen to tell you that Greg's brother likes you. Don't you just hate those? Most kids care about what they wear and if you dont wear those certain name brands then you aren't popular and if you do then are you. Simple as that. The uncaring part comes as the popular kids and the jocks among other people think they are better then the unpopular people who like being individuals and having friends and having respect from their friends and family and not caring what others things, and making good grades so they can have a decent life. They learned at a young age by older siblings its okay to cuss to people or be disrespectful and its not okay. Its not everything to be rich and popular and too not have any of the above mentioned things. That will get you no where in life. Their is this quote I stumbled upon stating, "30 years from now it wont matter what your hair looked like, what jeans you bought, or what shoes you wore, what will matter is what you learned and how you used it." I think taht makes perfect sense because once your out of high school do employers really care about looks, hair, shoes, or do they care about how well you can do the job and how responsible, kind, and respectful you are?? I think thats an obvious answer.

Answer 3

For brand conscious, I would point out from the teenagers point of view the overwhelming pressure from peers to be up to date. No matter what social clique you are a part of, the same rules apply: you have to wear a certain list of brands and styles, and you have to listen to a certain genre of music. In turn, the teenager responds to the pressure by either rebelling against these rules and thus socially distancing themselves from everyone, or by taking all measures to conform to these rules. For example, in the "rap" clique, the list of brands includes Rocawear, Sean John, Ecko, and South Pole. Your jeans have to be very loose fitting and fastened below the natural waistline, and your shoes have to be clean (or "fresh" as they are termed by those in that social clique). This puts immense pressure on the teenager to have enough money to support not only the cost of these brands, but the constant change in trends. One week a certain shoe might be the hottest new thing, and then next week not, so to keep up, you would end up spending $200-$300 on shoes alone simply to keep up.

I don't know if that helps at all with the point you are trying to make, but those are just my thoughts. Feel free to use whatever of them you want.

i am not sure exactly what you are asking. But you could check the bible, II Timothy, chapter 3. It is pretty much spelled out right there. Best wishes!

Answer 6

You can't judge all teenagers. To judge them in that way is just making you dip very low.
