So they don't have to hear their SINGLE MOMs tell them to:
1. Get off their backsides and help prepare the meal
2. Do the Dishes (they hate any phrase with the word "clean" in it)
Here are some additional reasons:
3. To 'hang out' with their 'friends'
4. Because the food is FAST (and there is no patience to wait for something to bake in the oven)
5. The Fast Food place is located RIGHT next to their school .. no walls, no boundaries, just a quick dash to that place for the fast food
6. A way to provide an 'excuse' for missing classes ... "Oh, the line was SOOOO LONG ...."
7. Their buddies are using the fast food place to ALSO skip their classes ... or a place to meet so that they can then SKIP classes by going elsewhere (oh, they only THINK they are so clever ...)
8. Place of FREE entertainment (hey, most restaurants now have video games, TVs, and other 'entertainment' while they sit).
9. To IRRITATE the Parents ... especially if they walk there when the Parent(s) already said they will pick up their teens from point 'x' at this time, but they DECIDE to disrespect the parents by walking right past them to the fast food place and don't listen to the parent!
10. And the last answer for this top 10 list is:
The teen got the money from the parent for their weekly allowance, did not feel like fixing their lunch before getting on the school bus, and now ... this is the only available solution! (Because School Lunches are even worse!)

I'll tell you the truth........................
teenager like going to fast food restaurants because of several major reasons a first one would be economically, but dont forget just cause they're teenager doesnt mean they're gonna carry only 20 bucks in their pocket, but either way its still convenient for them,
second reason has to do with pychology, teenager are in the stage of being daring, wild, and mostly party people, but some teenagers, sometimes most, dont really care about the bad health habits, like fast food causes acne, or makes you gain weight, they dont necessarily have to be a fact, but as an example they ignore these things by claiming to say that they're "still too young, and you have to live life "
a third reason is to be with their friends, mostly because fast food restaurants have the foods that teenagers satisfy themselves the most, and are places that grab attention to the rest of the teenage popularity, where all peers hangout together, more like meeting together and have a good time,
so the truth is they do it for satisfaction and the fun
its also a boredom killer.

Not all do. The younger generation does. That's what's is "in." Restaurants that serve food quickly. When going out, it's important to get your food quickly. Many restaurants are speeding up their sevice because of this. There is no real reason, it's like asking why teenagers wear jeans, while much older people do not like to wear jeans. It's just how things worked out.

Because they are cheaper. Most teenagers and college students are on a low budget, so fast food restaurants are the perfect thing. Plus they are open until real late.

As a teen myself, we go because it's convenient, cheap, and it taste really good! lol I Why would we go to some posh place? We barely have time for T.V., let alone homework, so eating fast food is super cool. I love it, but I don't eat it all the time. I limit it to maybe twice a week.

its not a formal restaurant and many of the workers are teenagers as well, so they dont have to dress up or act decent, they can be as immature as they like, and have cheap food, and be gone within a half hour. where as a restaurant you have to wait 20-30 minutes dress nice, and be mature.
