pretend listening

When Ryan Mayle acts like he is listening but really he is focused on other things... Generally he just yups, and yeahs a person while they are speaking. Quite possibly and more than likely, he is thinking about the future Petty Officer Mayle or tater tots.
Did you hear me or are you just pretend listening?

Preteen

A preteen is a person aged around nine to thirteen. We're stereotyped to be ignorant little asshole wannabe teenagers who smear glitter all over our faces, follow trends for the sake of being "popular", faint at the mention of anything Disney related, and LyKeE tYpErSsS lYkE DiZZZZ hahah :.
I honestly think it's immature and judgmental to assume that we all share this personality, because there are many sensible and intelligent preteens. Though some of my best friends do act like the definition above. Pretty unfortunate but I still love them. :)
Teen 1~ Ew, look at that stupid tween. She thinks she's sooooo cool but she's really not. I bet she's obsessed with the "Jo Bros". Yuck.
Teen 2~ Omg, I knoww right?? What a loser.
Teen 3~ Uh, guys that preteen can't really help her age. I bet she's a nice person.
Teen 1 + 2~ Wtf?

Preteen

Somebody between the ages of 10-12, or a wider range of 8-13. Most teens think that all preteens:
1. TyPEEe LYkk DIz :PPP
2. Are obsessed with the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana
3. Want to be teens
4. Say "your mom" constantly
5. "Smear glitter all over our faces"
I don't know anyone over the age of 7 that tYpeSS LyyK DizZz :DDDD or listens to the Jonas Brothers or Hannah Montana. We have no reason to want to be a teen. My friends and I fear becoming teens. I have heard a lot of people saying "your mom" but I'd say it's mostly people under 11... and I've never seen anybody with glitter all over their face.

I've watched Disney Channel shows a couple times and the ones I've seen suck. I don't listen to or wear anything so I can "be a cool teeeeennn!!!!11" I wear Aeropostale because I like it. I listen to Lady GaGa because I like her music. I would never do anything just because "everyone else is". Your stereotypes about preteens are annoying and hurtful. This all came from a 12 year old, and I'm not ashamed of my age.
16-year-old: Hahaha! Look at that stupid preteen! She's wearing Aeropostale! She's probably listening to the Jonas Brothers on her iPod! Maybe she's going home to watch Disney Channel! Hahaha!
17-year-old: Just because some preteens listen to the Jonas Brothers doesn't mean that she does. Maybe she's wearing Aeropostale because she likes it.
16-year-old: Haha, sure.

17-year-old: *eyeroll*
