Is it normal that I dislike all people my age? (I'm 18). I find almost everybody stupid or incredibly dull. It's depressing and annoying that people my age don't think about things. Is this just arrogance, or is it a legitimate preference?
Normal.
Let this be a lesson to you, as a parent someday. Cut the TV out, read to your kids, don't let them just do whatever the heck they want because you want to be the "cool" parent or worse, because you have to work 24/7 to afford that brand new Lexus in the driveway and you let that interfere with raising your kids.
Our generation is another stepping stone on the path of the "YouOweMEvolution". Parents blaming public schools for all of their children's problems, "why don't they teach my kids good morals and values and eating/health habits in school?" "what are these people feeding my kids?" "poor me, my kids are exposed to so much corporate advertising on TV!" literally handing all responsibility for the welfare of their children to another party. Public school is now day care and home is now just a building that the kid sleeps and eats in.
You can drug kids up and put millions of dollars into public services but that will not reverse the damage that increasingly lazy and irresponsible parents are doing to their kids when they teach them such backwards values. Life is tough. Parenting is tough. I really hope that our generation, from looking at the generation above us and the one below us and how well THAT is going will be the one to realize it...
While you are certainly correct, you sound like one of the dull ones he's talking about.
I don't know if you're referring to dull as in unintelligent or dull as in boring but if you're calling me boring I must agree. I work and go to school and it's basically my life until I get a real job, so I don't have time to party anymore.
Agree!
I can tell you'll be a great mother when you choose to be one. I just wish that our society wasn't full of all this bullshit. But what can I say, we all just have to live through it and ignore most of what we can.
I'm just scared to see what the next generation will be like that my kids will have to be in... They just better listen and learn the moral rights from me as a future mother.
*applause* If I ever become a parent, I'll try to take this comment to heart.
Hiya,
I'm so happy to read this I could cry. I wouldn't say I disliked people my age, but I do find a lot of them quite boring. It's hard to meet the interesting ones because travelling a long way is difficult due to disability.
I like older music because I was brought up on it, & when I’m chatting to older people about it we can go on for hours about our favourite bands. If I was to talk about it with people my age they wouldn't have a clue (unless they were brought up on them too, of course). I'm basically a beardy old rocker in a young woman's body.
As for the gangster talk; I can talk that way, but I don't see the point.
You haven't met everyone your age. Not that it matters what someone's age is. Just find people you like to be with.
It's quite normal. I hate most teenage girls that I know. We're all so annoying. Sometimes I wish I could teach us all a lesson.
I just can't stand certain traits in some people regardless of their age. I'm 20 and sadly a lot of people my age and older just can't grow up...
I hate people my age because they all think their gangsters or want to be prostitutes.. "What up?" Gah.. Annoys me. Not all people my age, but that's the norm..
It's normal. I often find myself relating easier with people That are older than me. Allot of the people I met who were around my age, I found them to be quite immature.
