    I’m 17 and I believe the worst part about being a teenager is the disconnection and how we are constantly going through historical events. During 2020 nobody was able to talk to each other except for online so kids and teens weren’t able to learn the social skills or coping mechanisms that they are supposed to. The world still seems like it’s ending so it feels easier just to block everything out. In my experience it has been nearly impossible to make friends my age in person even to this day. People don’t really trust each other and nobody goes outside. We are still trying to figure out who we are and what we’re going to do with our lives while having to worry about if we’ll even get to live long enough to do so

    It is honestly depressing. Knowing that you'll never be as financially secure as your parents, living in a planet that is unraveling itself, and having the constant pressure to get a career that makes money. I want to be a filmamaker and make the movies I want to do, but I cant tell people that because then they'll assune I'm just a future failure and want to convince that my dream is going to end badly. Everything about this world has to do with money, we cant do what we love without worrying if we'll make enough money, if we'll have a house, etc. I'm depressed, anxious and hate everything about it.

Truth is they're probably being realistic, but getting your dream job is often unrealistic by nature, especially when it comes to film-making or developing games. That's why being realistic is useless in this case, you're only gonna reach mediocrity. You think people who revolutionized cinema were thinking realistically? Nope! They were all probably considered crazy in their youth. I don't think your dream will end badly, and neither will mine! You're gonna make bangers!

    All of these are great points that people should think about, but the BY FAR worst part about being a teenager is the fact that you’re never taken seriously. I don’t just mean in terms of opinions or workplace, I mean you’re not allowed to have problems because “you’re just a teenager!” People remember their teenage years with such glee, wishing to be that age again, because of just how lucky they are, so “how dare these kids not understand what great positions they’re in?!” I know my life will get worse once I’m an adult, but that doesn’t mean that my life right now is easy. I’m allowed to complain just as much as you are.

    OK, obligatory "Not a Teenager" (I'm in my 40s). That authorities were more "relaxed" in the old days. Yes and No. We did get away with a lot more. We didn't have tracking apps on our phones, and there weren't a million cameras everywhere. If we got drunk at a party, there wasn't some shit head posting it to social media, and if that had existed back then, we'd have beaten the ever-loving shit out of the kid who pulled out a camera at party and risked all of us getting busted. They would not have survived, lol. That one is on you kids for not kicking their asses, lol. Don't post photos and videos of yourself doing stupid things and you'll get away with a lot more. But a lot of the stories you hear about the 70s, 80s, and 90s are embellished. Time has a way of making things in your past a lot more interesting with each passing year, lol. Don't take all those stories at face value. And keep in mind, even the true stories are just a part of what happened, nobody's telling you about all the shit that went wrong and made us look stupid, lol. But we did get in trouble a lot. Despite all the advantages we had with less surveillance and whatnot, that just emboldened us to do even dumber shit that was harder to hide, so we still got caught all the damned time. Back then, minor infractions would be ignored more, but most infractions were a lot more severe than today. It's kind of a wash in the grand scheme. Also college is a scam for many of you. Don't buy into the bullshit. Sure, if you want to be a doctor, lawyer, teacher, researcher, etc... you need college. But do the math first. You can get hired for $60k a year right out of high school in many of the trades. So weigh that against 4 years of college. You're 22 and have earned a quarter million dollars over 4 years, working as a mechanic, plumber's apprentice, etc, vs owing a quarter million dollars to student loan debt, only to land a job that likely pays closer to $70k to start. Assuming about a 40% average salary increase over 10 years in both vocations, at what age will they reach parity? First, if you can't do that math, college isn't for you. But do the math. How many jobs are available in your chosen field of study? Are those jobs at risk to outsourcing or automation? Will you need to relocate to find a job in that field, and if so, are you willing to? These are questions you need to have answered before you apply for college. College is right for many, but it's not for many others. It's a major life decision, it requires planning and consideration. "You'll never get a job without a degree" Bullshit. That's said by teachers making $50k a year, they know nothing of sound financial planning, lol. I actually don't hire many people with degrees because frankly, they expect more money than the job is worth. They want $150k a year to do a job that's only worth $75k, tops... which I could outsource to India for $35k. They don't get the job. But 5 years in, and most people, even without a degree are making double what they were hired at anyway, once they are proficient enough to take on more difficult and valuable work. Even if the guy with the degree takes the job at the going rate, they never stop job hunting to focus on the job they have because they believe they are under-valued. They're not under-valued, they were just hired to do a job that isn't worth that much. You're not paying someone $50/hr to scrub toilets, no matter how qualified they are, lol. Do not under-value yourself, but also realize you are not good at gauging your own worth, so look at labor statistics etc and build a career plan that suits you. NEVER WORK FOR FREE. Unpaid Internships are for morons. Universally, without exception, Anyone who tells you otherwise was either stupid enough to fall for that themselves when they were a kid and are just too embarrassed now to admit it, or they are actively trying to exploit you. If someone even suggested that to me, I would feel justified in physically harming them. Their balls would be kicked up into their throats. Same thing with "late" paychecks. In my mind, pay that is 5 minutes late is justification for homicide. There is no valid excuse for that. None. Ever. You will be paid in full and on time without exception. Do not accept any excuses. Never relent on that, even if it costs you your job, because those fuckers aren't reliably paying you anyway. Do not fall for that. The people who think that's alright are spineless, dickless parasites who should be ushered into an early grave. They have no value, they are not human, they cannot be redeemed, their word means nothing at all, and never will again. You have to stand up for yourself, because those people are out there and they will take advantage. The Generation Gap... I'm "technically" Gen-X, by a cunt-hair. Right at the cut-off line between that and Millennial, though in practice I'm more Millennial. The whole battle of the generations is bullshit. Don't blame boomers, that's just dementia from breathing leaded gas fumes in many cases, lol. The ones who criticize you are just pissed off at the world and looking for someone to blame. When it's not you, it's a political party, a prominent media figure, the guy down the street... being old just makes you pissed off in general, lol. They'll always find someone to blame for it. This was true of their parents, and their parents before them, and so on, all the way back to the dawn of time. Nicolo Machiavelli mentions this the preamble to his Discourses, published in the late 1500s. It's the same shit, always has been, always will be. Don't take it personally. You'll get there too one day. Someday your great grandkids will have interactive animated video/audio tattoos that Sexualize anthropomorphic capybaras performing analingus while singing in some trendy new music style that sounds like a cat fell into a blender. Instead of influencers with Brazilian Butt-Lifts, it will be technocratic prophets getting Kyrgyzstanian ass-cone surgeries, to make your butt look like a "sexy" waffle-cone, lol. You won't get it, it will make no sense. It'll piss you off too. It's going to happen. Buckle up. If not that, it will be something weirder and more annoying. The future will have many strange butt things to confound and infuriate you, I'm sure of it. When you get there, try to remember this time, right now and tolerate it with a bit more grace than the majority of your peers. That's all you can do. There's really no need to get defensive or justify yourself to those you will outlive and replace. Just focus on being a better replacement for your predecessors. By virtue of your age, you have already won by default. You are assured the last laugh... until your kids come along, then you're fucked... and they'll blame you for everything, and that's what will piss you off most, lol. Nobody wins this game. Get used to that. Hell, Gen-Z confuses the shit out of me already, and Gen-Alpha is just weird beyond my comprehension. But I don't see anything in those generations that is cause for concern. They're mostly good kids making the best of what they have. The occasional indiscretions are common to all youth. Just be cool, handle your own shit with dignity and accountability and try to give your kids more than you had, and don't judge them too harshly. That's a proven formula for success in all generations.

I was less than a year out of university at that point worked as a short term sub in the field in 4 different companies almost weekly and had been doing it for the last 2 years of my studies. So I had 3 years of experience working as a sub. They basically said I seem like I'm really good at my job and know how to do it, but I don't have a lot of work experience. I get that they want someone with more experience, but why did they even bother with the interview because my application clearly said I have been qualified to do this job for less than a year and haven't yet worked anywhere long term.

    1:36 No it isn't every generation. The increase in helicopter parents is very much a recent thing. Just one lifetime ago most parents expected some of their kids to die before 5 years old. It was unavoidable. Yes, they kept their kids away from disease and such, but playing outside and doing your own thing was considered normal. I don't know the amount of stories of my mother climbing something and falling onto something sharp and still being allowed outside she has told me, but it is a lot. 60 years ago really was a different time when it comes to how cautious parents are. In fact one of the suspected causes of the increase in allergies is parents trying to keep everything too clean and safe for kids. Our bodies grow used to allergens by experiencing them in reasonable amounts early on in life (or so the story goes). So no, parents were not as helicoptery back then.

    Guys, you don't need to work toward becoming someone elses bitch. If you have a skill, use it to get money without asking someone else for a job. Even if you end up making less, it's more rewarding. Money is easy to get, it's a side effect of hard work. In your life you will notice that people who don't have money, generally don't try very hard. If youre awake, you should be chasing your goals.

To those that might be in their teens, the stereotype does not change unless you make older generation remember what was like to be a teenager.However do remember old generation had different problems when they where your age to.

    As a 18 year old I'll say the worst part of being a teenager is being queer in any way. Don't get me wrong, I love my trans and gay ass. But I'm exhausted of 'adults/elders' trying to prove that I don't exist, that I'm faking everything, that I'm 'too young to know'... It's exhausting, saddening and terrifying to see politicians and preachers and others figures holding a certain amount of power over other people yelling at us that we 'deserve to die' while calling their assholeness a 'religion/path of God'. And what I mean is that I despise people who use their religion/moral code/whatever to justify their hatered towards us. What did we do wrong? We were born? That is not our fault! Scream at our parents, accuse them of 'making their children in the wrong way" or something. Just let us live. Let us love. Let us breathe. Nowadays being queer is... weird? I know it used to be WAY, *WAY* worse... However now it seems like the world is devided. One part of the world loves you, accepts you, wishes you the best, would kill to protect you. Part two would like to see you in prison. Or in a grave. And you're just stuck there, in between, not knowing where to go to get help. And it most countries (like mine! Yay!) it's pretty expensive (or impossible) to get the treatment we (the trans people) need. I hate that people refuse to learn, they refuse to let go of their beliefs and just accept the stuff that they come across. And it isn't about my community. It's about the world. Right now there's a child calling me slurs in comments under my drawings because I stood up for myself and called out their bs. They called clownfish a mammal (yes, you read that correctly) because they said that transitioning is 'unnatural' and I responded by writing examples of animals that can change their gender. The same thing is with antivax people, flatearthers and many others. If people (especially older ones) could just learn. They have all the world's knowlegde at their fingertips yet either don't know how to access it or just simply refuse to access it. I hate that.

    Basically, the penalties for all sorts of nonsense that parents used to do are much higher today and the reaction from the same adults who used to do it themselves is much more extreme. You are 14 and go camping with friends without an adult chaperon. It used to be a completely normal weekend, but today you are treated like that Either you are a runaway or inform the youth welfare office straight away because if children are left unsupervised like that there must definitely be a problem. If you are female you will find yourself at the police in no time and they should assume that you were sexually abused no matter how many times you say that nothing of the sort took place has.

Considering half the stories said the same thing, it's very clear (even more so now) that teens are lacking self awareness to the world around them, instead just complaining about parents like most teens I know do. Kind of shocking that no one my age can have an intelligent conversation with their parents about something

    You keep saying that all teens do bad stuff but that isn't true my acted like a child and the most rebellious thing I ever did was watch cartoons and eat leftover Taco Bell that my mom brought the night before. I had so much anxiety around my window that I wanted it to be boarded up and whatever panic attack at the blinds were open while I was sleeping. You never know who could be looking at window or who could break open that window and do who-knows-what it's something I'd scream a lot. I never went out of view of my house because I was scared I'd get lost and kidnapped and tortured. When I was around 17 I finally felt okay enough to go down to the store and back but it was winter so it got dark earlier so I ran back will having a panic attack every little noise and every car made it just worse it took me awhile to leave the house again for anything that wasn't riding the bus to and from school. I still have the problem where I had a panic attack and I won't leave the house for a while and my grandparents would just pick up groceries and I'd pay them I live in apartment above their house so it's a lot easier than convincing you to go outside. I should probably stay I have autism too so calling me a young adult never went well I always insist I was a child.
