Writng about Teenagers (funny)
Teenagers
Most people think of a teenager as a young adult or maybe a troublesome kid that has bad morals. Although this is a good definition, it really doesn%u2019t pin down the real meaning. A more realistic definition is: Teenager, N: A human between the ages of 13-19 that is the intellectual equal of a half sentient monkey. Such is the definition is by a teenager, for teenagers. The reason behind such a definition is this, teens are barely aware of the things that happen around them, lack any and all social graces, and have the emotional maturity of a three year old.
Teenagers believe that they know it all, and have done it all. They think they%u2019re always right, and they know what%u2019s best for them. Ignoring their parents, and taking important decisions upon themselves even though they have no experience what so ever. A good example is 11th grade advisement. All the students want to decide for themselves what classes they should take, but most of the time these aren%u2019t the classes they need to graduate and/or go to college.
Social grace is a simple concept, but incomprehensible by most teens today. Such things as, "Yes Mama", "No Sir", "Thank You", and "Please" are totally out of a teens shallow mind. One of the most irritating and noticeable traits of these is the "Thank You". A male could hold a door open for a large group of girls and not one of them would give him a simple "Thank You" (trust me I know ><

. Which of course leaves him no incentive to do it again. So one more teen goes down the wrong road because of the lack of a "Thank You".
When a small child of the age of three or four doesn%u2019t get their way, they throw a fit and cry until they get what they want. A teen is no different. Except for the fact that they can increase the degree of disruption. Teens believe that they%u2019ve found "love" in every person they find attractive. They rush into relationships that are doomed before they begin just by the fact that male teens are hormonally over stimulated and the females are generally or sensitive, and mentally corrupted due to TV shows such as The OC. This social handicap enables males to win them over with simple stereotypical tripe.
So the definition of a teenager stands as: Teenager, N: A human between the ages of 13-19 that is the intellectual equal of a half sentient monkey. Which of course is backed up by the facts that teens are barely aware of their surroundings, lack any and all social graces, and have the emotional maturity of a three year old.

Hn. I don't know. Yeah, it's right about a lot of the teens I know, but you can't just throw everyone into one huge pile. Alot of them are stupid in other ways, for one, and for two, what about people like us? The people we know who are even in between? Also, it has incorrect grammar in alot of places. :] Heheee.
It's funny, though, and like I said, sadly true about a great deal of the teens in my grade.

Nice.
However, I am emotionally handicaped. I'm a couple years back in emotional maturity and control.
Like, it's a MEDICAL condition. If that's general, then... *whistles*

Great piont. What you said about the door thing is very true(happens to me too). You just described 2/3 of my class(I'm a 'teen')

I had a rather long reply to this typed up, but it could easily be summated into one sentence-
Satire tends to be funnier if it has some sort of basis in reality. Using greatly exaggerated statements just kills off the argument (thereby killing most of the humour).
And since I'm feeling really nitpicky, all animals are sentient, so 'sentient monkey' is tautology. You also really need to learn to better use punctuation- I can see multiple occasions in this that are in need of a semicolon or a dash.
(Urr. Don't take offense to this. I'm just a total grammar-whore)

I suppose this is correct specially in my sisters case.....
it fits her snuggly.
i myself who is 14.....
feel a bit appualed becuase really......
i dont act as anything described here.
my Dad told me once that even when i was 4 ive nevr thrown a hissy fit.
in my whole life ive nevr been grownded either.
ive been told by several adults is that the worse thing that i do is curse and get a lil too wild.
but i do see your point about majority of teens, ^__________^ im actually quite also aware of the teenagers habit of not using the words
thank you, please, IM SORRY, and excuse me, and ect.
lol i stopped a girl once who in the hall way slammed me into a wall and didnt say excuse me. she told me she didnt have to and that i was just some strange kin
who should just get over it.
Meh, it's so/so. I can see where it applies for some people, but, generally my friends and I aren't like that. If we don't have a reason to disrespect you, then even people the same age as us get the "Yes ma'am," "No ma'am," "Please"s, and "Thank you"s. Hell, I'M more of a gentleman than the guys I know--and I'm not even a man. *shrug* Meh. Close enough. I wooouuuld give this a faveee butttt . . . *shrug* Ahhdunno. Something's missing. All in all it's humourous.
Pekin Says:
Yeah, some teenagers are assholes and void of all things such as manners,, common sense, and basic grammar skills.
I know from personal experience that when holding a door open for someone you don't know, it doesn't matter whether they are teenagers or adults, most of them are still will not say thank you. But I've developed a system. Let the door hit them in the face for being jerks.
Minstrel Ayreon Says:
While I've seen some of the things you're talking about--in SOME teens, I have to agree with those commenters who are saying that this piece goes SO far that it loses the humor and becomes more of an angry rant than anything. And in some ways, that is one of the worst traits I've seen in SOME teens...stereotyping to the extreme.
