yep its called being a teenager... we make mistakes, we do stupid things... but at the end of the day it is the individuals choice whether to do it. peer pressure can be a toughy but it's something ppl have to learn to rise above

Chris you don't say how old you are but I used to feel like this in my teens and early twenties. I matured much faster than my "Friends" and they did not hold the same ideals as I did. I used to get really frustrated by so called friends not treating me in the same way that I would treat them. As I have got older I have made a few really good friends. This is preferable to many shallow friendships.\n\nA good friend sticks by you no matter what, through the good and the bad. They will be honest with you, without being offensive, will listen, make you laugh, maybe make you cry too if they are hurting. A true friend will make you feel good inside, love and accept you for who you are and when you come away after being with them you feel great. I also find my friends bring out different aspects of my personality but each is treasured in their own right.\n\nAs you get older and become more confident in your skin you also begin to care less about whether people like you or not....they can like you or leave you.  \n\nHang in in there, treat people as you would like to be treated and in time you will make real, true, loyal friends and yes you will know when you have them.

Yes. I have gone through it. People react different to it. It usually happens when people realize that they are not "young" anymore and inside they still feel young, but on the outside they are wrinkling up and truning grey. The outside appearance does not jive with inside feelings.

umm, duh,respected... the only time you DONT want to be respected is when your a teenager trying to rebel and find himself..

i don't think so,to some degree i am the same way.it's not being anti-social for me it's just not wanting to have to deal with all the extra stuff that comes along with some people.i've learned that in todays society it's just not the teenagers that's keeping up a bunch of mess. but alot of adults so i just choose not to involve myself at all.

Yes there is a terrible decline in behavior, manners and rudness!  My feeling is that people have become more and more selfish with each generation.   There is a desperate lack of consideration for anyone but yourself.  Things like road rage, talking on your cell phone in the movie theater, cutting in line ahead of others, tell people around you that you think you are more important than anyone else around and just put up with it because you're allowed to be rude.  But god forbid someone should do any of those things to you!  Sorry to use the word you so much.  Not directed at anyone in particular, hahaha.

YES !! I completely understand you . Like i'm in high school and the way some poeple treat each other just sickens me . So what , you're a little different, but when it all comes down to nothing, we're all the same without our little peppy clothes or stupid jock attitudes. Deep inside when we're not with our friends who require us to act a certain way or expect us to act or be a certain way towards others WE ARE ALL THE SAME !!We're all human who deserve to be treated with respect, integrity, loyalty ! ....humans, who deserve and want joy, interaction, friendship, love ! that's all we want , if everyone was provided with all the love and great emotions in the world that we all want, i think that WOULD  make the world more peaceful . It's about time someone realized it AND said something about it . Sheesh !!!!!! ok that's all i had to say, sorry for the lecture . ! lol

Sometimes it's forced on by parents. All of my friends are 16-17 and, depending on how they're parents treat them, they act either younger or older. For example, I have a friend whose mother died when she was little and this girl knows how to take care of herself since she's been taking care of her dad for a few years. Another friend, though, is a little spoiled brat because she asks for everything and gets it plus more. Or it could be the bad media that shows the blondes in the tight skirts that little kids are exposed to and that's how they think they should act. Well, probably a little bit of both factors and more.

Yhea, they are annoying.  But if you think about it, no one really knew what they were doing when they were a tween or teen.  At that stage in life we're all just trying things out in an attempt to find out who we are.  It drives me nuts when kids think that they're goth, emo, or punk, but then I remember all the stages that I went through, and I realize that they can pretend to be whatever they want.  Its just important to make a distinction between the real thing and teen rebellion.

I don't think there is a socially awakward kid out there who then decides to invite yet more harrasment and torture to themselves to fit in. I think it is hard enough being a teen to just let in more pain as a choice.

I am a youth counselor at a detention center for at risk youth and I see this alot. Now I am only 23 years old so I don't know how much I can influence the crowd here but here it goes. I think with the kids I deal with there are 2 main things that add to the equation. Parents and Pop Culture. With parenting I think people arent willing to put in the time and also agree with the fact that parents are trying to be friends. Also I don't know if there is any connection but I would say with the number of single parents increasing and the age at which people are impregnated. A irresponsible youth can't raise a responsible person. By the time the kids I work with get to be teenagers, the parent usually wants to make up for the teenage years that they themselves lost leaving a kid to fend for himself. As far as pop culture goes I just isn't popular to be nice anymore most music is about being depressed or being a gangster, alot of the movies my youth watch when not in program have to do with the same or with sexual acts. Well that's all on this matter for now any questions feel free to write.\n Timmy

Teens think they are grown up

I'm a teenager and I think it is fun and challenging at the same time. I go under a lot of stress but I tend to consider my feelings more than other's sometimes.\n\n Like, sometimes I'll think everyone is treating me so unfair when I actually deserve how they're treating me. Also, there's so many things to deal with like: hormones, homework, after school activities, family, etc. Sometimes I just feel like blowing up! Also, I don't like when people make stereotypes like: "Those teenagers are rebellious", we're just unique individuals exploring life! Anotherthing that I don't like is feeling like I'm caught between being a kid and an adult, and most people want us to act like adults and we're not! \n\nBut, along with all these stressful things, there comes rewards such as: hanging out with friends, meeting new friends, and having new experiences. Like, last year, I met two really good friends and we have been getting together to watch movies on some Friday's and recentley I was in a play and that was a fun (and challenging) experience.\n\nSo, all in all, being a teenager is just like any other stage of life, interesting and unique!
