What do adults think of teens?

Question

I'm curious to see how you feel about us.

Answer 1

PITAs all. Rude, obnoxious, foul-smelling, the list goes on.

Answer 2

well that depends. (please don't take what I'm going to say personally) On one hand some of the questions that are asked by teens (who's hotter, questions about ashley tisdale & corbin bleu, etc.) get really annoying as do other questions that I can't think of at the moment. But then I sit back and think about the fact that I too was once a teenager and I'm sure I've done some of the things that teenagers do that annoy me. So basically sometimes teens get on my nerves and other times they don't. But you know what; I bet teens think adults are annoying too so it goes both ways. The whole point is that adults need to think back to the time when they were young and think about what they did to annoy adults.

Answer 3

I teach Jr. High and I have a 14 year old daughter at home. I also HAVE BEEN THERE. We adults wish without a doubt that teens would listen to us. We know you think we don't know how you feel, but we DO. We know all the pit-falls, all the heart-aches, what you feel and how you think because we have been there-done that. We also know that things are totally different when you grow up. You really don't know right now....You think you do, but you don't. When your parent says just you wait until you are older and then you will understand, they are right. It's been the same way down throught the ages, the teens think they know it all and the adults say they don't. We know what will happen if you do....whatever. We also know how you will feel. Just for once I wish one teen (hopefully my daughter) will LISTEN

Answer 4

Well I'm 27, and I feel like I was just a teen and now I'm a adult, so all I know is that I know what it's like to be one it wasn't that long ago. And by the way when your in your 20's people older then you will still call you a kid, they still call me a kid. Don't worrie you'll be an adult soon, I hated being underage I used to get angry at adults, I hated being told what to do!

Answer 5

I think most of them are great and they get blamed as a group for the negative actions of a small number of teens. I think they are also more knowlegable about the world than my generation was as teens (I'm almost 41).

Answer 6

I've already been through, where you are now, and I remember the same gripes from the adults as you hear now.Some things never change. Personally, I think most teens are great people.

Answer 7

Great question! Ive been thinkin about that myself. I always thought when I grew up and was an adult - then I'd be calling the shots........ Now I am 26 and I am wondering what the teenagers think of us? It is so wierd..... My 59 year old Mother wonders what people my age think of her as well as people who are older think of her............. It was a big surprise to me - to grow up and discover that there was no difference in the way I felt. We all remain insecure and always want to know what others think of us..............

Answer 8

Punk, Stiff Head, Stupid Fool, Selfish, Lazy, Crazy and etc;; just like us when we were teen.
We been there, lots of us wish to be at teen again and fix damaged that had been done by us to ourselves for better stand today.
There nothing we could do to save your life except good advice to lead you ahead and as teen what the hack, this is my life, what did you knew about life.
As usual like my late father. r.i.p. used to say," My word enter your right hear and leave your left ear , there's hole in your head,"

Answer 9

i personally think that most teens are bright and have a lot to say, but they're not used to being given the opportunity to voice opinions without harsh criticism.

Answer 10

Nothing really. People that are almost adults but have a hard road ahead. Kinda depressing. It when you figure life out. I like teens. It's babies I don't understand.
:P

Answer 11

some parents think that teens are bad, but some parent think of them as cool but weird and they may need a little help. and that we are mean and grown. but we are nice (some more than others) so don't talk about us parents
