teenager

Someone who is confused 24/7, has no idea what s/he wants to do with his/her life, is probably doing something really stupid right now because of their confusion, is ungrateful, moody, self-centered, and is either really self-conscious or really arrogant. Teenagers are confused because they question everything the see or hear, and they can't figure out what to believe, and what’s wrong or right. Some ways that adults can help teenagers through this rough time is 1) remembering what it felt like to be a teenager and relating their experiences to that of the teenager, 2) listening to what the teenager has to say instead of figuring that their opinions aren't valid, 3) letting them know that the adult cares about them and that the adult would do anything to make their hardships disappear, and, 4) by being as understanding as possible, no matter how ungrateful, stupid, and self-centered the teenager acts. Some ways that a teenager can be healthy and happy is 1) just being YOURSELF; stop acting the way “everyone else” is and do things because you think they are the right thing to do, not because somebody else said they are the right thing to do, 2) by mentally saying “Fuck you” to whoever steps on you and tries to tell you that you are worthless, and just moving on, 3) by being practical and not so impulsive, and keeping in mind that its normal to have intense sexual desire and intense confusion, and that acting on pure impulses is self-destructive and will not necessarily make you happy, 4) by keeping in mind that its OKAY if you don’t know what you want to do with your life right away; it will come naturally, so don’t force it or you will probably get frustrated, 5) by remembering that although many adults will try to manipulate you, that doesn’t mean you can’t trust any of them. Search for the ones you think you can trust, and let them give you advice, and, 6) by not taking life too seriously; laughing often and trying to use your inner wisdom to get you through this hellish thing we call life.

I hope this will help you and that it is somewhat valid; I’m 16 years old, so if you are a teenager, know that we are in this together even though I don’t know you. Peace.

I really hope that I am not a stereotypical teenager.

God's punishment for enjoying sex.

My Economics teacher: You know, the thing about teenagers is... they are God's punishment for enjoying sex.

teenagers

Age group that people apparently like to hate. This is due to the media, those few teens who want to go out and act like a dumbass, and those who want to consider 10-, 11-, and 12-year-olds teenagers.

Those who bash teenagers are either:

- People who believe everything they read/watch on the news,

- People who want to bash teenagers because they couldn't (or can't, if they're a teenager themselves) get a girlfriend at that age, or

- Kids who believe what they see on nickelodeon (uncapped on purpose)/disney channel (also uncapped on purpose)/etc., whose shows depict teenagers in the wrong way.

society killed the teenager

When you need help, but you dont want to ask for it because they might think your an attention seeker but all you really want is for someone to understand you.

She's the girl who got made fun of because of her appearance but they didn't laugh for long when they found out she killed herself, society killed the teenager.

Teenager

A time when God is most unfair to and individual...or atleast it seems that way...

Joe is a teenager and just got his girlfriend pregnant. Now his life is over. How unfair.

Overripe teenager

Someone in his 20s (or even 30s) that still acts like a 17 year-old. Overripe teenagers who are male often try to date teenage girls. Overripe teenagers who are female not only act like a 17 year-old, but dress like one, too.

Jim: What's up with Jeremy? He's 35, working at McDonald's and dating a 19 year old?
Eric: He's just being Jeremy.
Jim: I think he is an overripe teenager.
