The main two types of teenagers; other subcultures and labels branch off from these two.
A Bubblegum Teen is a run-of-the-mill teenager. These people tend to be self-conscious about everything and very superficial. They happen to be addicted to being popular and pop culture. Usually, their conversations will consist of sex, beauty, whining, and boyfriends/girlfriends, and use internet slang in everyday life. They usually follow every trend and try to fit in. They scorn uniqueness, but encourage groupthink and conformity.
On the other hand, a Duct Tape Teen doesn't give a @#%& about labels and does what they want. Duct Tape Teens understand the concepts of originality and individuality and embrace them. Like rolls of duct tape, they are all different. They come from all walks of life, from different backgrounds, and in all shapes and sizes. Each has his or her own thoughts and beliefs, none dictated by others.

The main difference between a Duct Tape Teen and Bubblegum Teen:
An example of a Bubblegum Teen's conversation -
Teen 1: OMG, I can't believe Dylan dumped me for that fat bitch, Lynne! She is soo fugly, and I'm so 1337 with my makeup. I'm so pretty!!! LOLOLOL!!!
Teen 2: IKR? Lynne is soo n00bish! I'm so prettier than her with my Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch!
An example of a Duct Tape Teen's conversation* -
Teen 1: Hey, wanna go meet after school?
Teen 2: Sure, we can go skating, and hit the books, too. By the way, I like that skirt you made.
Teen 1: Thanks! I made it myself. See you there!
(* note that all Duct Tape Teens' conversations may not be like this, as they are all different.)

Get the teenager mug.someone who is age 13-19, or an adolescent. most teens go through depression even though they have relatively good lives (even me). a lot of emo and punk bands are made by depressed teens. most teens have "normal" and "cool" standards that you are forced to live up to:
1) you HAVE to have to have a girlfrind/boyfreind, otherwise you r gay (i dont know why teens keep calling eachother gay, even if they r straight)
(most boyfreind/girlfreind only last for a small period of time, bcuz the relationship is usually based on insecurity, getting to places that a freind cant, showing off. most of these relationships are not even based on whats inside, its only if your looks make you worthy of someone who will eventually dump you for someone better looking)
2) you must smoke, drink, and have sex at a young age (funny how such morally wrong things will make you look like a god in front of teens)
3) you can't wear "whity tighties" otherwise you will be dissed by boxer wearers who have smaller d***s than you (i wear boxer-breifs so i have room and my **** duznt swing around)
4) you must hate your parents
i am conservative and have went to school with these morons. i feel bad for ever trying to be like them. their rules force you to do things and u cant do anything about it. ANYONE WHO IS READING THIS, DONT TRY TO BE LIKE THE "POPULAR' KIDS IN SCHOOL. while they bitch about how cool they are, while they are insecure inside, you, the "unpopular" one will actually be getting somewhere in life. they are usually the ones that will be flipping burgers while you become succesful.

Get the Teenager mug.Someone who has a child at a young age.
I am a teenage parent, - I'm not a slut, nor am I stupid. People need to stop being so horrible to teenage parents just because they have children young. Yes, there are bad teenage parents out there - just as there are bad ADULT parents!
Many people believe that because we got pregnant young we must have slept around. This is completely untrue. Many teenage parents I know, myself included, fell pregnant to boyfriends that we had been with for a couple of years.
Lastly, in New Zealand (where I'm from) there are many Teenage Parent Units. These are schools specifically designed for the education of teenage parents. The parents work from Correspondence School books and attend classes with teachers within the school.
The age limit is 21, so there is a long time for the mothers (and sometimes fathers) to complete their education - most then go on to university!
I understand that many people have misconceptions about teenage parents, I was one of those people before I became a parent myself.
All I'm asking is for you to make no assumptions and don't judge us all by one stereotype!
