Answer 1

The teenage years tend to be very difficult and teenagers are hard to understand at times. I remember when I was a teenager and thought I was so cool and knew everything. Turned out I wasn't as smart as I thought I was. I am not getting down on you, just that it is difficult for parents too. We still love and feel we need to protect you, yet we have to let you go too. Try to understand your parents side a little, you are still their baby. One day you will understand the way they feel.

Answer 2

As the movie said, most of the time teenagers complain that they are not being treated like adults is because they ARE being treated like adults.

You think you won't be a 'lab rat' under observation when you are older? You are in for a bit of a shock....

Answer 3

Technically teen is between 13-19 (your on your youthful human beings) yet legally and individual at 18 As for a way you act at that age....you may be very mature at artwork/uni and act like an individual and be treated like an individual, besides the indisputable fact that it is also achieveable to be in circumstances the position you matter upon your mothers and fathers like an adolescent. i imagine being 18/19 is a unusual age you're a smooth individual who's reaching adulthood yet isn't really there yet, and all of your human beings and friends are at different ranges of adulthood. i could also say that at that age first impressions of human beings is conflicted some human beings nonetheless see you as an adolescent and some human beings see you as an individual in spite of adulthood. i could say for me I have only became 20 now and that i nonetheless do not consistently see myself as an individual, I nonetheless go out with my friends and decide to be an adolescent and act as an adolescent, I from time to time nonetheless free my mood like an adolescent and interior of my friendship crew there continues to be occasional teenage dramas and arguments, yet I nonetheless visit artwork, pay employ, stress a vehicle like an individual, and mostly in maximum circumstances and talk and artwork mutually as a mature individual.

(I tried to read these dag on comments and they are all bull *cough *Cough excusse my language) But I totally understand you, and is a very good question, talking about is just another way to find something to talk about, and point fingers at, I am soooo freakin tired of parents pointing the fingers like we are so kind of freaks I mean yea we make mistakes, cause no one is perfect, that is all because of a right choice that we lacked making, no I don't have kids, but parents aren't perfect so why in the helll do they sit up and expect us to be this perfect little person, when we are exploring and trying to make sense of the world and the things of this world, and we are trying to discover who we are, I mean how the heck do they expect us to make the right decision if we never fault, for that reason, why did the parents do wrong and bite their parents hands, they make us look stupid, for questioning why? so it's almost like You don't bother asking anymore cause you can pretty much expect the end result, I mean no disrespect to parents, but that just isnt right, to look at us like you have never been there, nor done that, and just seen it all, I mean people try to analyze us like we have some kind of disease....man please. Who needs the growing up??? The parents or the kids.

I am tired of them being the judge, cause times they are no better than we ourselves are, why cause no one is perfect plain and simple, thats all there is, and there isn't anymore.

Answer 5

What are you talking about? Why do adults talk about teenagers as though they don't know anything? I am 25, and I can tell you having grown up A LITTLE, that when I was a teenager, as much as I thought I knew everything, I didn't know ****.

Answer 6

Because teenagers while they wanna believe they have grown up and are no longer children until they reach their full development mentally, physically and sexually and can make mature decisions they are just that children. When you can make reasonable decisions and accept responsibility for your own errors without your parents having to answer to what you do then your still children. I don't believe children are truly grown until they are at least 21.

Answer 7

Unknown. Perhaps all the drinking that goes on in college wipes out the memory of what happens previously, making people think they were born adults?

Answer 8

Because we want to help you! And just like lab rats, you keep biting our hands. Then again, maybe we should just let you out of the cage.

Answer 9

Because we are BRILLIANT! No one has the mind of a teenager. We are more creative, more secure and some scientists are proving that teens may be smarter than adults! The books is easy, becuase of our raging hormones our parents dont understand us!

LONG LIVE TEENAGERS!
