Do you ever noticed the glares you get when entering a store. You wonder why they only seem to do it to you and your friends. Ageism is a real thing at least i belive it to be. People seem to look down on teens as if we're all bad.
Do any of you belive this is a real thing and if so why?
Ethier that or people just don't like me. I mean come on look at my usernotes.:(
maybe it's the way you are dressed. I've always been liked in my community.
People look down on teens because a lot of teens are idiots. I'm a teen, and I still know that a lot of my peers are idiots. I'm an idiot sometimes too.
But I hate how at restaurants the servers treat you badly because they just assume that teens are gonna be bad tippers. I am a very generous tipper thankyouverymuch.
But ageism goes both ways. A lot of people treat old people very badly just because they're old. I have a soft spot in my heart for old people though, it breaks my heart when I see younger people treat them with derision and condescension.
I see what you mean. Happens to me all the time. And im not even a teenager yet!
Happens in game stores to me all the time there too. :D
Yeah know what you mean there too. I have a big spot in my heart for the old too :)Quote:

Teens ARE all bad.
I'm glad I never was a teen.
I'm aware of the fact that I'm stupid, naive, and immature, but you'd be surprised how difficult it is to cope with it.
it happens to me in certain stores and especially some Asian super-markets. i don't know why, but they must be thinking that i forgot about own heritage or just because i'm listening to an i-pod or the kind of clothes i wear.

Between the ages of 12 and 25 people are sort of mentally deficient. The worst is when a group of youngsters are really loud for the sole reason of making their presence known. I usually tell them to stfu.
