The Older I get the Less I Can Stand Teenagers!

Your pants are probably resting more on your hips than your waist

yeah - that's probably a better way to put it lol

As for the pic - I think it's a scientific marvel - gravity-defying pants are surely worth investigating

Baggy pants, I can understand re: the comfort level. But honestly, looking at the guy on the right in the photo below, how could that possibly be comfortable; how can you walk in comfort with the crotch of your pants down to your knees??

I'm just trying to figure out where those two are going together. He appears completely under-dressed. And she has allsome legs. I can't stop staring. At her.

I really doubt I will. I understand why you may dislike many people my age, but dislike them based on their actions. Don't dislike them based on their age. They do a lot of things that I don't approve of, but I cannot change that, and I also don't intend to try to change that because it is a losing battle

The thing is that a lot of the times when a teenager does something that older people don't approve of, it's mainly because of how YOUNG they are. Thus it is mostly attributable to age. Plus, you've signaled yourself out as being more mature then regular 16 year olds, and should be treated as such is called being full of yourself. You may be right, and I tend to agree just by judging your responses, but EVERY teenager thinks they know more then they do and are more mature then they are. You think you know, but you don't know, and maybe you will in the years to come. You're taking things too seriously, chill, relax, have a coke and a smile and everything will be alright.

Music goes in cycles.

You need a longer memory. The original gender bending music was "glam rock" in the 70s.

Queen, Marc Bolan and T-Rex, New York Dolls, Bowie as Ziggy Stardust etc. etc.

Androgyny goes a long way back and cycles in and out.

Grunge was a bit more "testosterony" but was boring as hell. The mid to late 90s was a meager time for music, IMO. Everything sounded the same and it seemed like very band out there was in a rush to copy the grunge sound.

If not for Oasis, the Verve, Blur, U2 and a few others the 90s would have been a complete musical wasteland for me.

I had to quit listening to the radio for awhile there.

How can you mention gender bending and not include my avater, Alice Cooper? A man with that name that wore makeup before anyone else, and during the Billion Dollar Babies tour, wore 4 inch platform boots. Plus he is still releasing good music to this day. Along Came A Spider by Alice comes out on July 29, same day as the SG-1 movie Continuum, and I'm as happy as I can be minus anything Saints related about that day!

that could apply to this entire thread... it amazes me that the people who 'just don't understand' rap or hip-hop or whatever the new 'push the boundaries' trend is-- were the same people rocking out to Elvis or Alice Cooper or The Beastie Boys or whatever the old 'push the boundaries' trends were... i'm 34, and i don't get the low-ride shorts or some of the music i hear-- but i understand that it's to be expected that i don't, and that in 20 years there'll be something else for the kids to 'get' that the adults just can't understand... once you learn to embrace change instead of shaking your head and rolling your eyes-- you'll be a lot better off...

I agree, except with the low ride jeans. The people that wear their pants like that just don't get from where that came. It's from prison! How can being someone else's sex toy in prison make you want to wear your pants the same way? It's not that I don't get it, it's that THEY don't get it, and rappers perpetuate that style, which is being emulated by ignorant people.

 

[Scorpius the Allfather]

Yeah, and by the way that is definitely true. To whoever said it can't be comfortable, well, you're wrong.

That's just personal tastes. I can't stand it when my pants sag, it's not comfortable to me. And I don't think people need nor want to see my underwear. I definitely don't want to see any guys underwear.

I really don't appreciate you saying I am full of myself. Seriously, I am worlds more mature than other people my age and I do know that. I am not every other teenager that thinks that with no evidence to support it. If you knew me personally, you would understand. You could even ask my peers, they also know I am more mature than they are.

I agree, I completely lost my train of thought...

Please reread my post, I had said that I tend to believe you just by reading your posts. 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. You said multiple times how mature you are over every other teenager, how is that not being full of yourself? That is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as you are still grounded in reality. You have to realize that you are coming off as "I know how I'm supposed to be, but I'm not, so I gotta have a leg up on everyone else." That's being full of yourself. Want a synonym for being full of youself? It's called confidence. Hopefully now you still don't have a defensive answer, which teenagers seemingly always have. Please also reread my last sentence in my post you referenced, I think it still applies.

Teenagers get a lot better when they figure out how to handle their booze.

Ive pretty much run across every type of teenager there is. Most of the kids that work for me are teenagers. Some of the are just like everyone is talking about, rude, lazy and generally inconsiderate of anyone else. There are some though that I would trust with the keys to my store. Ive got one girl (18) and one guy (18) who work harder, care more, and do the right thing more often than the 25 to 40 yr olds that work for me. They even have gone so far as to tell me when they thought one of their frinds was stealing. I mean to end a friendship over a short time job because its the right thing to do is just really impressive to me. Dont get me wrong I think alot of this generation takes gangster rap as gospel instead of entertainment and try to live their lives by the songs but I wont loop em all in together because there are a few I will be sorry to see go off to college

Good post and I hear ya, but time takes it's toll... My favorite is the waitress. She comes in and works two hours and decides it is not for her and she walks out... Six months later she comes back again wanting her check.... And she has kept track of her hours too...

So you spend a half a day diggin up a six month old time card and a six month old paystub, just to prove her wrong.... But they know everything...

I feel your pain

I must admit that most of us are just wow. I find myself extremely annoyed with like 90% of my school. That's probably because I live in Chalmette though, I should expect no less.
