Answer 1

Well, Dreamer I am a 36 year old woman with a 17, 14, and 7 yr old, all girls.
Just be yourself, sometimes adults like and admire youngsters with a adult-like conversation. I know for sure I would.
Be Yourself, it will feel nice.

Answer 2

First of all.. it's great that you care and want the adults to understand that you do. You know, they probably are ready to accept you more than you think they are.

I would advise you to follow the basic rules that are true for talking to anyone, like being considerate, listening politely, etc. But if you are talking to people who are older than you, there is another important ingredient: respect. You don't want to tease them like you would one of your friends your own age, and you want to show that what they say is important. If for no other reason, because they have been alive a lot longer than you have. :-) It is even possible to disagree with an adult and do it respectfully. :-)

Just don't be intimidated and be the sweetie that you are. ;-)

Answer 3

i wouldnt want to hear a kid (im 16 by the way) complaining about how their relationship life sucks and never will get a boyfriend/girlfriend


i would like to hear about them talk about something OTHER than sexual things (family member ALWAYS makes sexual jokes and so do alot of teenage GIRLS at my school, so its quite annoying)

Answer 4

i'm 15, and my mothers and fathers enable me have one yet freak out if I say the littlest element about chatting with human beings... there aren't from now on as many pedophiles in the international as mothers and fathers look to imagine, do purely what I did even as i become 13, make the facebook account and be efficient to sparkling up your surfing historic previous now and again

Answer 5

I'm sorry, but I don't understand why you think you would be seen as a brat, etc.

Good things to talk about: TV shows, movies, sports, what you want to do/go to school/college, etc.

Bad things to talk about: Boys (as far as crushes, etc.), what your mom/dad do for a living, how much they make, etc.

Overall, just be yourself and be positive about life.

(If you give more details about what the situation is (e.g. a party) it would be helpful, too)

Answer 6

Don't be...
-sarcastic
-skeptical
-nervous
-rude
-racist

Don't gossip (crushes, dates, who likes who)

Do be
-calm
-intelligent
-respectful

Do ask for advice... we have a lot to give

I would love to hear a young adult say anything to me. Most are intimidated. I think any converstion you make will be vastly appriciated. Just the fact you asked that question shows you are a mature person.

Answer 7

You should never be scared of talking ot your adult relatives, if you dont then they will think you dont like them and resent it until you have to try really really hard to get back a normal relationship with them

Can people please go to my profile and answer my most recent q. It wont show up on the singles and dating page for some reason. I need some advice

Answer 8

Just be yourself & if your going to be spending any time talking to adults I hope their your parents or your teachers.

Answer 9

well, first off, i dont want to hear a teen talk about 'teen' things. boys, clothes, friends, etc. talk as if you are an adult. its not really what you talk about but, more or less, how you talk about it i guess.

Answer 10

Just don't say anything nasty, and you'll be fine. Think about what you're about to say, if you wouldn't like to hear it, then don't speak of it.
