Teenagers Today?
What do you think of Teenagers today? Most of us get very bad press because of what other's do, such as Teen pregnancy, and staying out all night drinking, standing on streets harassing elderly people as they go by, then when all that happens, Teenagers that want to make something with their lives, get treated the same, like criminals, so what's your view?
From personal experience I can tell you that the last one is horrible, :/ When in classes when people get given a detention our teacher will say "What have you got planned for tonight? Going out and smashing people's property" It's barely even Ok for parents to say it but when a teacher joins in... that's just out of line, which is why the "Chav's" of the world need to be dealt with. |
Do you think Teenagers that choose to live different lives should be treated the same?
Well, no one should have to be treated different for the life they choose to lead. What's your view on Teen pregnancy and how can the LAW make a difference. I heavily dislike it, but the law can't do anything about it. If you make the choice to have sex and you get pregnant, then hey, that's your problem. The law can't prevent you from being pregnant though. The law isn't a condom. Should 16 Year olds and under be aloud on the streets after a certain time? Probably. God, the things I did at that age. Leash these people. (jk I didn't do anything) What about the younger teens, (14 and under) and how there treated by something that fellow teens do. I hate that age. 11-16 is just the bunghole of the teen years (and hey, it's the majority!). Doesn't necessarily mean they're gunna go around robbing houses and being weenies to everyone, but I do associate those ages with the nasty years of dating. Saying "I love you" too soon, underage/premarital sex, teenage pregnancy...I sound like a prick for disliking these ages because of these things, but it's too common within them, and I just choose to stay away from people that age. Doesn't mean they're all bad though; I've talked to some decent people in that age group, most of which are 18 in spirit I think, if not older. |

What does this even mean? You have goths, hipsters etc. all trying to make a stand by being non-conformist. Some teenagers take out their rage by going on a path of self-destruction and spinning outta control. That doesn't mean you shun them or laugh at them, it just means you should help them set a limit before they do anything stupid. What's your view on Teen pregnancy and how can the LAW make a difference. The law makes no difference whatsoever. My social life's been pretty crazy over the last few months and the last thing anyone thinks is 'oh no, might get arrested for underage sex.' Sex is stupid - getting pregnant while you're a teenage is horrible. I'm not going to say 'don't have sex,' because we're biologically programmed to do so. Just don't do anything stupid while having sex. Should 16 Year olds and under be aloud on the streets after a certain time? That's ridiculous. Yeah, every sixteen year old who stays out past ten o' clock is doing drugs! You try and implement laws like that, there'll be mass rebellion - you'll get more trouble then less unless you tried ruling with an iron fist. Not that that would ever happen. There's more teenagers who do nothing and play nice than there are teenagers who go around starting fights and vandalising other people's property. What about the younger teens, (14 and under) and how there treated by something that fellow teens do. What can you do? Adults who see shady teenagers wearing hoodies assume they're druggies or they're carrying knives. That ain't right but there's nothing you can do to stop it. It's the bad egg mentality (I don't know if anyone's ever coined that phrase before, if not, I'm taking it). A student teacher walks into a room filled with twenty angels and one messer. If that messer acts up, the teacher's gonna walk out with a negative review of the class no matter how well the other twenty behaved. 'Boy racers kill four going too fast.' 'Drunk teen stabs another outside a nightclub.' With that at the front of our headlines, no one's going to pay attention to the kid who got all As in his exams or whatever more relevant example you can think of. |

Do you think Teenagers that choose to live different lives should be treated the same?
I'm probably as confused about this question as the previous poster.. Except the labels of course..but then again, you have people who label themselves.. I'll just let this be. What's your view on Teen pregnancy and how can the LAW make a difference. If it's an accident, and you can't cope with it, you're a blundering idiot who needs to meet Jeremy Kyle. Scum And the law can't really do anything about it.. What about the people who actually want a child around that age, and have the means for support? Should 16 Year olds and under be aloud on the streets after a certain time? Yes, they should be ; not everyone's out to rob you out of your knickers at night, smash windows and go insane. What about the younger teens, (14 and under) and how there treated by something that fellow teens do. The community you'd be living in has to be really sad to do so.. Idg how you can compare people within an age group, in those particular regards.. Chavs are so fitting. Track suit bottoms, and hoodies galore. |
Pushing this back to Other Chat. Even though it does have selective questions like a poll, the topic itself can be expanded to a debating discussion. So, for those who do start posting here, you can discuss more than just the given questions seeing as they are debatable.

Teen pregnancy is just... bad imo. You have kids barely in high school getting pregnant and end up dropping out. How are you going to have a kid and be able to support them when you haven't even completed high school? I know I'm just generalizing right now, but most of these people can't even take care of themselves yet. Do you think Teenagers that choose to live different lives should be treated the same? I'm not really sure about this one.. Should 16 Year olds and under be aloud on the streets after a certain time? If they're responsible, then yes. Otherwise, no. We don't need underage kids going around at 11 at night doing who knows what.. What about the younger teens, (14 and under) and how there treated by something that fellow teens do?Everyone's a follower. End of story. In all honestly, I think teenagers today are just testosterone filled retards. All I hear all the time now is "SEX THIS, SEX THAT". Our age of teens are slowly being corrupted -____- I can't really say much though, as I'm a teen as well. I guess that's just my general opinion.. It be nice to meet some down to earth people though. |

Well despite some choices that adolescents make; they are still, infact, teenagers; so there's no reason not to treat them differently anyway... Some teens may need tough love just to push them in the right direction if they make any bad choices; like stealing, drug intake, etc.
But mostly, if its like after midnight and such; I'd think they should be with their parents for safety.
Well we all did stupid things when were younger; but it didn't meant we couldn't change right? So yeah, I'd also say so for 14 and under kids nowadays; they just need a good push in the right direction. |
Do you think Teenagers that choose to live different lives should be treated the same?
Depends. If it's minor, then they just need a push in the right direction. What's your view on Teen pregnancy and how can the LAW make a difference. I think that they should learn the hard way for not closing their legs. No law can change a person's sexual habits. Should 16 Year olds and under be aloud on the streets after a certain time? No, they are free to do as they wish even the stupid ones. What about the younger teens, (14 and under) and how there treated by something that fellow teens do. If the teen in question is a typical hooligan, then they deserve it for being sheep-like morons. |
Do you think Teenagers that choose to live different lives should be treated the same?
Well not all teens live the same life...so what do you mean exactly by this, are you referring to Goth's, etc. ? If so then I think they should be treated the same as everybody else. |

Should they be treated the same? Sorry if people didn't get this question, should made it more clearer. :o |
Do you think Teenagers that choose to live different lives should be treated the same?
Well let's look at it this way. There are laws created for society that every citizen must abide by no matter how they live there lives. So just because one teenager may be disruptive while another may be a model citizen does not mean they should be treated differently on a social or moral level. What's your view on Teen pregnancy and how can the LAW make a difference. I've never really had a view on teen pregnancy other than you wait for the appropriate time (which varies from person to person) or you educate yourself on proper protection and USE IT! On the matter of what the law can do about it, there's not much they can do besides make sexual education mandatory in all schools and to provide more locations to where teens can so to seek guidance and protection such as planned parenthood. Should 16 Year olds and under be aloud on the streets after a certain time? This is pretty circumstantial. Yes there should be a curfew set on all teens, but as to how long a teen may be out depends upon the maturity, sense of responsibility, and trust a parent has for the teen. What about the younger teens, (14 and under) and how there treated by something that fellow teens do. It's unjust to pass judgement on an entire group just by behavior of certain individuals, but I still believe that there are some passage of rights such as staying late or having sex that should be determined by law or by a person's level of maturity. |
Teenagers that would rather spend their evenings and weekends with people that aren't their parents or the offspring of their parents' good friends are definitely up to suspicious behavior and should be punished with the full extent of the law.
The amount of sarcasm in this post is up for debate. XD |

Well if it's parents, then you know they're already treated differently.. And since the Law is a constant it's same for both examples. If all else fails, hire a psychotherapist. |

Define "different lives." That has... a lot of meanings. What's your view on Teen pregnancy and how can the LAW make a difference. Allow me to strap on my bulletproof vest before saying this, but... Typically, I'd just shrug and keep quiet on this matter, because abstinence is now seen as outdated and superstitious, but... We're researching the Illegitimacy Booms of the 17th and 18th centuries. During these times, the number of illegitimate births, caused by a casual attitude towards premarital sex and young impregnation, actually placed a huuuuge strain on the economy. But, then again, the "BUT THEY'RE IN LOVE!" argument isn't something I want to get into, so... Yeah. Should 16 Year olds and under be aloud on the streets after a certain time? Yes. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to move around the town by bike after dark. Personally, though, I think that police should be more wary. I hate the attitude of the current generation... What about the younger teens, (14 and under) and how there treated by something that fellow teens do. *Considers using central digit to express point, then decides against it* Younger teens are hated unfairly, which is a fact of life, I guess. *Shrug* |

I'm really sick of teenagers. As long as it's "cool" to be a complete and utter loser to anyone and everyone I will dislike them. They expect to be treated like adults and they can't even behave themselves enough to deserve it.
|
I thinks unfair how my age teenagers (14)are treated. Me and my friends got told at 8:00Pm on Thursday to go back home by the police, incase we started smashing anything -.- Which I think is quite unfair, just because some horrible kids do something, Innocent kids who want to play in the snow... I like playing in the snow! K?. have to be taken back home. :/ I think the LAW should crack down on older kids, before it can get anymore serious.

Of course, going around doing illegal things doesn't mean you shouldn't be held responsible, either... which sounds kinda like my other take on this question.
Hell no with driving. As I said earlier, there's a crapload of vandalism and other mischief that happens in our area because some stupid parents couldn't raise their kids to be even slightly respectable. It's also dangerous for inexperienced drivers to be on the road in night by themselves. Just walking somewhere?... I'm a bit split on this one but I think I tend to lean more towards no because the most dangerous driving occurs at night, and someone could easily not see them.
I'll be honest... these questions almost sound like a whiny teenager complaining that they don't get enough. Seriously. And that's coming from a teenager. lmfao |

Oh, I see... but part of the reason why these complaints come up is just that.
