Ok , I was just wondering why adults always bash on teenagers for saying that we are in "love" and we want to do things with our boyfreinds and we want to be intimate all that? I mean, we do have feelings! so why doesnt anyone belive us, and why does everyone think we are stupid? I just dont get it, I hate being a teenager, noone takes me seriously....HELP? why dont we get respected as people, istead of a bunch of idiots who cant get thier stuff right...?

Because when you're a teenager, you usually don't understand that love is much more than wanting to "do things with your boyfriend" or getting sexually intimate or all about how you feel. When you're a teenager, you generally haven't experienced life enough to have the wisdom to know what makes a good life partner, and lack the judgment to foresee consequences of your actions. You can't help it- it's a part of youth.
Adults don't doubt you feel "feelings" but when you get another 10 years of living under your belt, you'll understand.

Mostly because a lot of teens don't act responsibly; they won't do their school work unless someone is standing over them making them do it. Try helping you mother around the house without her asking, and you will probably get more respect.
I don't agree with adults that think young teens can't really be in love, but a lot of teens and adults, too, call it love when it's really lust. True love means you care about the other person and want what it's best for them, and it's not true love when all you want to do is get intimate.

It's not that us "adults" or experienced people are trying to disrespect you, if they do, im sure that wasn't their intention. But, we have been there, and I honestly believe that teenagers do not know the true meaning of 'love' simply because they have not lived long enough and or experienced it as long as we have. The intimate thing, you should really wait until you have been with someone for a very long time, say a year or so, depending on your age, see if your ready then, and always be ready for the consequences, sex isnt everything its cracked up to be.

We all pass thru' this phase thus you're not alone. However, you need to know that trust needs to be earned and not a given. Unless you can proof yourself otherwise be a little patient with your mom. Mothers will always be mothers. All they want are for the betterment of their kids. Of course, that does not mean they should hurled abusive words. But then, what else can they say when in anger? Be patient!

Excuse me!
But have you already graduated from college and gotten yourself a stable profession? Have you started driving, paying for rent and utilities, and filed for taxes? Did you already start a family of your own knowing what it's like to raise kids, support them like your parents supported you emotionally and financially, and have you experienced planning on how to pay for the education of your kids (should you have any)? Have you already experienced going through a divorce and understood what it's like to go through nasty legal issues in a divorce lawsuit, especially where finance and child custody battles are huge concern?
Perhaps, your parents are trying to send you an important message about the surreal life and "reality" in its most ugliest form. Wake up ~ baby! You and your parents need to build some good open communication together.

I never really got much repect either. I had a child when i was unmarried and age 21. I was always thought of as that unresponsible wild lady!
I was soo mad when i'd be walking out and i'd get nasty looks from old people who didnt know me.
But as soon as i got the child undercontrol, and a steady job people took me more seriousy. They treated me like an adult for once.
Now i am completely happy, engaged, and living with my fiance.
I think that when i was younger, adults didnt give me a fiar chance to show them that i could handle things....things are slowly staring to look up for the younger ones. Hopefully things will change faster.
I know what your going through, but it will be okay. Take things amoung yourself to try to do things if you feel your being treated as a child.
When i realized people didnt really treat me as an adult. I decided to take things upon myself. So i got a job, took care of the baby, and got engaged to the guy who got me pregnant. I am in love with him, and now i'm being treated like everyother adult.

coz teens think with the wrong head,especially boys and fail to protect themselves against all odds,how do you think we adults became parents,not disrespectful or anything like that but education is more important now a days than sex.

We're just jealous. We wish we could be young again.
