Like I said in my first post, it's like a man describing pregnancy....when someone is talking about something that they haven't actually been through, or don't have much experience with, it shows.
You guys seem to forget that us older people were kids at one time. We all thought we knew more than our parents, we all thought we knew who we were and had everything all figured out. Older people would tell us things and give us advice, and we shrugged it off because we thought we knew better or could do better on our own. And what happened? We ALL realized that we didn't know it all, and things weren't as easy or as simple as we thought. We can see ourselves in you guys, we can feel the feelings you guys have right now because we had them too.....and then real life hits, and you gain experience and you too will be able to look back and see what we're talking about right now.
Maturity doesn't equal experience. Reading about a subject doesn't mean you have any clue what it is actually like in real life. Opinions that you have formulated up to this point that are not based in actual experience or knowledge, you will find will change drastically upon gaining experience.
Yes, some of the younger people are more intelligent and more mauture than others, but there's nothing that can make up for experience.
As I said too, I do find value in seeing all sorts of opinions...however, there's times when it's just not appropriate to comment. Back to the pregnancy example, can't you see how a woman who has been through pregnancy would be completely insulted, and find laughable, a man trying to act like an authority on the subject? That's what you kids do sometimes when you try to act like you have anything to add to certain subjects. It's the attitude more than what you're actually saying.
I have children, I was a child, who do you think you're fooling?
You cite 'experience' as the issue with the kids, but an 18 y/o fresh out of the nest isn't a problem? They can't be a problem by trying to stick their noses in someone's marriage issues? Or by posting crap about their masturbation habits in an attempt to troll?
Anyone else notice this about the teens on this site?

How can you even tell how old a person is on here though?
