First let me point out that 1) this is probably the wrong forum, but I didn't know where else to put this and 2) I am a teenager.
I was on Facebook earlier (which is something I do quite little nowadays) when I noticed a status that had over 100 comments. These comments were all one big argument where people were insulting each other, ridiculing each other in regards to subjects completely irrelevant and just overall showing distinct disrespect. As a whole, I don't feel teenagers deserve the bad rep they get sometimes, except to each other. I've discovered a lot recently that teenagers pick out the people who try and show respect and ridicule them. I commented asking these people to show a bit of respect and was told that I 'come out with some dum s***' sometimes. All the people who'd been arguing stopped to pick on me! It's almost as if teenagers argue because they enjoy it. I think it's because they're trying to prove themselves and, in doing so, are actually just proving themselves to be jerks.
Well, I'd rather talk 'dum' s*** than mean any day.
Not really sure what the point of this thread was, other than to vent a bit. I'm off to college next year, and no one from my current school is going there, so I'd imagine things will change a bit. I just need to get through my exams and escape!
Thanks for humouring me,
Joe
