Is it normal to hate teenagers?

You call teenagers whiney but aren't you whining about them... AHA

There are some teenagers out here who are ungrateful assholes but not all like this and get extremely offended when some adults stereotype us all in this way. Another thing is just because we're teenagers people think we have the easiest job in the world when thats not the case (for some). A lot of teenagers suffer through some really tough battles that some 30 yr olds don't even have to come across. Finally, there are some teenagers that are more sophisticated & intellectual than a lot of adults.

You're stereotyping all teenagers against a small minority of those that feel the need to rebel.
When children grow up, they go through a thing called puberty. Something you've obviously never experienced. This is when hormonal changes occur, making teenagers turn into 'monsters'. They grow out of this phase as the hormones quieten down.
Teenagers 'demand' and 'moan' about things as they are still just children. They're learning, they're growing, they're maturing, like everyone else. In order to grow and develop, they need to know what's right and wrong. If they move out, who's going to teach them that? All they'll take from it is that their parents can't be bothered to raise them. They'd be filled with anger, and possibly hatred.

I am a teenager. Never once have i felt the need to demand things off of my mother, kick cans down the street, or even feel the need to move out. Believe it or not, she needs my support as much as i need hers. Not all of us are like that, and i am disgusted that you would even think that.

Why don't you do us all a favour and get your brain into gear before you open your 'cheeky' gob.

You age-ist bastard!

Most teens are not like this, and if you think they are then it must be you who has the problem. Some, as you say, are stupid and arrogant, almost as much as you are, but most of them are just misunderstood. Misunderstood by people like you, who think that older = better. I know a lot of adults who are douches as well, more than I know kids who are.

You were probably a loser when you were a teenager (and still are) so you're acting out your rage and jealousy out toward teenagers

It's true that a lot of teenagers are whiny assholes. Most of them, really. But can you try not to be so shallow? Not all teenagers are that way, and it's really pretty biased of you to say that. You were a teenager once, too. Even Buckley doesn't claim to hate all teenagers, and Buckley hates everything. There's nothing wrong with hating whiny teenagers. But there is something wrong with not believing that non-whiny teenagers exist.

There's shitty humans in EVERY generation. Here's a piece of advice, don't waste time fretting about what's out if your control. I'm a 19 year old teenager, and have found this to be useful. Just get over it and focus on making you a better person. Us other inhabitants on Earth would appreciate it.

Baahaha. "age-ist bastard".
Nice one.

not all teenagers are like that, depends how you bring them up and if you judge/treat them like that, you'll get 10 times worse thrown back at you.

IIN to hate it when people get overly offensive about a subject??!

I don't understand this. Surely you must have been a teenager. You know what it's like. It's bad enough when people hate others for something they have no personal experience of. But to hate something you know all about? Very strange.

I hate American teenagers. I've noticed teenagers in many European and Asian countries are incredibly well-behaved. But American teenagers are so freaking arrogant and self-absorbed, as well as completely entitled! Sure you have those kind of teens everywhere, in every country, but European and Asian teens, for the most part, know discipline and know to behave themselves.

You my friend...would be a kick ass parent

You said teenagers are whiney and you're whining about them... AHA

... Were you ever a teenager?

u must have forgotten that a large percentage (at least half) of IIN users are teens.

I'm a teenager, and I agree with you. They are embarrassing me. I'm ashamed to be under that category.

First off you are whining second. maybe they want to move out but people won't let them. you are a freakin jerk.

Fuck you too.

lol - judging by this, I'm gathering that most of you are teenagers

Eh, I've seen a lot of teenagers like the ones this guy describes...

So, I can understand anyone not liking teens, really :/ (And I'm 18 myself)

haha Thought that would get you all going! Of course I know from the idiotic posts that most of you are teenagers - but why, if this site is for the over 18s?

I note that none of you came up with an excuse as to why the 'unhappy' ones don't move out to get peace. Other people started off with nothing, one multi-millionaire landed in a new town with 12cents in his pocket to start a new life.

I think the teenagers today are given too much by parents who had very little as they grew up and so have created monsters, who don't feel the need to work for their rewards. As a teenager, I knew not to answer back for fear of a beating, not to ask for anything because there was no money for extras, couldn't get fat because there were no sweets / biscuits / crap in the house. The only books I had were school books and the family tv only had 3 channels.

I was a teenager but unlike today's teenagers, I knew to keep my mouth shut (as no-one is interested in silly, inexperienced and ill-thought out views) until I was old enough to get out, at the stroke of 18!

I appreciate that not all teenagers are like this, but they really do seem few and far between.

Umm you were a teenager 50 million years ago go suck a dick bitch

You are an asshole
