“Those damn teenagers, so immature, always looking for trouble!”

    & nbsp;   &n bsp; This is one of the many few comments that I hear each day. Adults seem to think that teenagers are all irresponsible, immature, ignorant and always looking for trouble. This can be quite bothering. Sure there are some bad apples but that is the case in every group of people. These days teenagers have been given one certain stereotype that can never be understood.

    & nbsp;   &n bsp; The most bothering fact is that the adults give us so much grief when they were once teenagers themselves. They went through the same issue we did: they experimented, got into trouble, had their fun. Isn’t that what being a teenager is all about? I really hope that I am not going to be like this when I am older, because teenagers get very little respect now-a-days.

    & nbsp;   &n bsp; Although teenagers have gotten a really bad reputation, we are getting a lot better than the past generation. The adults seem to forget that we will be the ones who will be in control of this world. Some adults seem to think that we can’t handle it, despite the fact that we are all very capable young people. So what’s so sad about teenagers? This question keeps coming up but still seem to be a mystery.

    & nbsp;   &n bsp; One of the reasons teenagers do what they do is because of lack of attention from their parents. Kinds need attention, we crave it, and if the only way we can get it is by doing something ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’, then most of us will definitely do it.

    & nbsp;   &n bsp; It just makes me wonder sometimes when adults blame teenagers for everything that goes wrong in the world, when we are the ones who are molding the better tomorrow. I hope that someday, the generations ahead of us, will have a little more respect for teenagers then they do now.
