Almost all the people in my hall party all the time and play the music very loud. Also, they always talk about sex and who is sleeping with who. It drives me crazy.

I am isolated in college. I am also in the hardest major of my college (computer engineering) so the isolation gets to me. Sometimes, I wish I was not so high functioning so I could not notice that I was lonely. It is not that I shut myself away. It is just the people in this hall, I do not want to find myself associating with.

My parents decided to homeschool me before I went into high school because both of them had such a horrible time there. I do occasionally take a class at the local high school or through the high school. My experience with other teenagers hasn't been quite as horrible as for some of the others here, but maybe that's because when I do have to interact with them it is in an extra-curricular course so most people there care about what they are doing.

I think that part of the problem is that when people become teenagers they are introduced to and try to imitate those around them, leading some of them to truly become, not necessarily bad people, but confused people. The reason that so many aspies don't become that way might be that we can't catch on to what "everyone else" is doing, or that we don't care enough to try, which is a good thing. Another possibility for their actions is that they just moved graduated from one kind of school to another and think that that automatically makes them mature, leading them to not try to mature. And they might even have thought that after grade school, learning is pretty much over.

Just a thought. My 2¢ if you will.

Am I the only one (ironically a teen myself) who cannot STAND being around teenagers. I am at college and they are everywhere. It is like a plague! I wish that I could be with adults who are really mature and WANT to do the work but I am stuck with a bunch of annoying complaining things which like making lots of noise (I hate noise) and doing everything they can to avoid working. The whole idea of going to college is WORKING!! ! I think it is about time that social life and academics is seperated...

An angry frustrated hypocrit...


I know how how you feel, I am a sort-of Aspie in college with many NT teenagers and I am annoyed particularly by a few girl NTs. All they talk about is boyfriends, texts they have received and seem to speak in some kind of separate language some of the time. People think I am odd because I seem to enjoy some of the work I do, I (almost) always hand in my homework on time and I answer questions a lot when teachers ask them and nobody except me can be bothered to reply. Luckily there are a few hard workers that I know and get on with, but even people who I like are really annoying when it comes to work attitude. It's because it's a time of their lives when they've got so much else on their mind (boyfriends, girlfriends, computer games, Facebook and all that jazz) and they are either silly and stupid enough to not see the point of work, or are trying to be like other teenagers in their attitude to work. :evil: This irritates me.

Alot of this is just an act. "I did all my studying the night before" "I'm too cool for school" etc... etc. If they do this, the other students will think they are "fly".

Yes, alot of kids I meet do know how to cheat around the system, that's true. They know how to pass standardized tests, they know when they can skip class, they know that they shouldn't apply themselves to work that isn't graded. Realize also that most of these kids work 20 hours a week and juggle a 15-hour schedule, and there is a good reason they learned these things. Otherwise, they wouldn't get through school at all. Of course, there are the pure rich-kid party types, but most of them don't make it to be sophomores.

(Every else looks down on the rich-kid party types in college, not just you... )

College today is the biggest farce of education I've ever seen. Four year, community, whatever. Nothing useful is taught. Even the few times where something useful was taught, most students don't know what to do with it, because they were never taught how to think for themselves and question things, which is the secret to evaluating any new information. Some girl overseas told me she was late for Critical Thinking class, and that she hated it. I told her she had no idea how lucky she is.

What the s**t do you expect teenagers to be like?? You want them to be like tight-arsed 50 year olds?? You think you just go from little kid who plays way action man to BAM "mature" adult-guy? Teens put up with alot of s**t, hormones going off like bloody nukes, school, mates & other crap.

Do I hate teenagers? It actually depends on their behavior. I dislike teens that are extremely loud and rowdy, attempt to do dangerous things and shout out the N-WORD.

I dunno, my lessons telling me exactly what to write in exams in order to get good grades will be very useful in later life, I'm pretty sure... :roll:

It's been a while since I've posted at all but, that's irrelevant. I heartily agree with the quote above. Most of the teens I get along with are normally the high school freshmen (like myself) on the fringe of being totally antisocial, peers with psychological problems, and most seniors. There are a couple middle schoolers that actually will listen to their elders... but not enough to actually be representive of the majority. I also belive that the majority of teens are difficult to deal with due to the fact that they are disrespectful to nearly everyone, women and minorities included.

For those who actually have something against teenagers because of their experience with them and the fact that they have to dealt with adultism (The belief that adults are superior to teenagers attitude)belief and ideas. You guys should take a look closer to some adults and realize that there is problematic people of all ages and look at the very fact that it isn't always their faults that they turn out to be immature pricks as you people make them out to be.

Even with this neuro-biological discussion about the development of teenagers to adults, one point that must looked into is that brain maturity and brain development is also influenced by the way the person is raised and the kind of environment that they go into meaning that each people will develop at different rate regarding of the speed of neurological development which will always leave room for some teenagers to grow up to be pathetic adults who seems so incompetent with a piss-poor attitude on how to go by things. Also, there's evidence that risk-taking behavior in teenagers does increases the development rate of frontal lobe development. The last thing I want to say regarding to maturity and psychological development is that maturity and immaturity is defined subjectively meaning no one can prove one is mature or not because there is no objective measurement to how mature a person is unless you are referring to biological development which is a different story. Look at how each generation is changing the attitude toward teenagers and maybe you'll understand why some teenagers attempts to stand up for themselves defending against age discrimination. Some adults aren't even capable of taking care of themselves because some of them have been through forced dependence even after when they're 18 and having the privileges to be free of parental control because some of them feel as they're not ready due to the way that they grown up interacting with the environment around them.

In regarding into some of you folk's perception into teenagers who risks their own life for fun and games that isn't appropriate, why not take a piss on college adults who puts vodka into their eyeball because they want to challenge other people into their little game of blinding themselves for fun. Why not take a piss on plenty of adults who seems so in-component that they misraise children just making the future teenagers having to be ranted at. Some of you are right on the fact that age 16-24 are found to be on the highest crime rate in the US, but the fact still remains that majority of the teenagers are not people with dangerous criminal intents and there is plenty of teenagers who are able to make rational thoughts and decisions.

I am currently into high school right now finding myself with certain teenagers who are into being a porn star, engaging into illegal activities such as drinking and smoking, and crapping themselves over because they exploited themselves while I am growing to look at everything around me realizing that age doesn't always matter and finding out that there is pathetic people of all age group. When I saw them into my very eye at first sight, I was into the very side that most of you are on until I find that I cannot blame some of them for turning out that way and decided to no longer belong into the anti-youth side because for the very reason I start to see that some people doesn't seem to have control into how they're turning out because other people have more control over them limiting the opportunity of their choices into life. I have been bullied and mistreated by people my age for about 3 years straight nonstop and had my eye blacked once before I got into the anti-youth side temporarily. When I got myself into a website about teenagers questioning how things are running and got into the other side's views, I begin questioning their and my position which led into my belief that I cannot discriminate and will not attempt to have something against them due to age, race, gender, class because history have shown that cooperation of humanity instead of dissent over one group tend to advance humanity in the end and people often have life issues because they found themselves to be in the position of being discriminated while even often being into the discriminator's side making things worse over time.

I know I might be getting s**t for this, but I find plenty of adultists are just as pathetic as their targets that are having piss-poor attitudes. Since they're the ones feeding the leeches to other people, I have quite a feeling of dissent and spitefulness toward these bastards and am proud that I will not stick their side because I learned my lessons over looking deeper into this matter.

You think they're "more better"? I think I'm "more better" at speaking English than you.

I don't hate teenagers, what can I say? I AM one! I just find them harder to interact with than adults in general.

When I say about not liking teenagers, I don't mean it personally. I'm just saying that I've had bad experiences with teenagers (aged 13 to 16) at school, and it's even continuing now in the street, even though I'm roughly 6 years older than they are. A few weeks ago I walked past a crowd and one of them intentionally yelled in my face and made me jump. Then when I was 19 I got bullied by my best friend's sister, who was 14. She was one of those really nasty people. She threatened to beat me up next time she saw me, and I knew that if I retaliated and stood up for myself in any sort of way, she would run to the police and turn it all around and say that I'm setting on her, and I knew I'd be the one who would get done because she was 14 and I was 19, and I should 'know better'.

That's how SOME teenagers work. They like to take the piss out of mature people, then when the mature person retaliates, they know they can get them done because they can be the sweet innocent children making the grown-up look the ogre.

I'm not saying all are like that. I have 6 teenage cousins and I love them to bits.
Same with toddlers. I am really not a toddler-lover, and I can't be doing with them, but when I say ''I don't like toddlers'', it doesn't mean I'm saying, ''I don't like your toddler''. I like them if I know them, same with teenagers.

I don't like people. But I'm a person, and all my family and friends are people too. Doesn't mean I don't like them. It's just called ''generally speaking''.

I think the reason they act this way is because they are emotionally and biologically maturing faster than the reasoning and logical part of them is. I should know, I'm starting teenhood right now (still 13)

Sometimes I get tired of teens as well, despite that I am one. I'm more into philosophy (sometimes. I also like to write) and I have one friend that shares this interest, so I can't relate to other teens who don't care about much other than the new app on their iPods. I care to some degree, but not as much as them, because I find there is more to life than that. Am I a minority here? Sometimes I act childish. I don't expect to be fully treated like a mature adult, but I want to be heard, have a point of view, and be respected. Whoever said that thing about not using the dictionary except for Spellcheck, that does not apply to me. I find I relate better to your arguments than teenagers. Oh well.
