The Older I get the Less I Can Stand Teenagers!

You definitely do not come across as a 16 year old. You actually use grammatically correct English, and use commas and periods instead of being lazy and shorthanding your typing as if saving 34 seconds to get a point across is crucial. But what I'm saying is a fact, teenagers think they know more then they do; I'm not very far removed from being a teenager myself at age 25.

As a high school English teacher, I would heartily disagree with the generalization that the majority of them don't use - or try to use - correct English.

And I think that the claim that teenagers who think they know more than they do is NOT a fact. It's a stereotypical generalization. Most teenagers I teach and have taught are filled with more self-doubt than anything. That's why I love teaching existentialism to them - because it resonates with their individual angst and identity in a corporatized, commericialized world with so many competing products and sources telling them who they should be, what they should be, etc...

As for the pants - as I explained before - I sport a sag around my hips because it's more comfortable for me from when I was working construction. Not because I aspire to be someone's prison "sex toy."

It's a shame you give teenagers such little credit and base your understanding of them on such limited generalities.
