Teens are not trusted
September 13, 2009
Teens are not trusted at all or considered part of the community. All people think of teenagers is that we are bad kids looking to cause trouble. I mean think of it how many times have you been discrimanated against just because you're a teenager? If you've had enough think of something to do about it and take action! Remember one person can change the future!

It is because of the actions of some unruly teens that we all are painted with the mark of those actions. People have a tendency to be able to remember the one bad thing out of all the good things that someone does and it scars them as that one thing that ruins it all. It is just programed for us to think like this because of the way humans are in our society. And yes, we all eventually learn from our mistakes and some are just having fun right now. Well said comment, I-Passion.

I agree that it's annoying and unfair. But store and restaurants can't really tell who are " the good kids" and who are " the bad kids". So they have to ban everyone...

i agree. i almost got arrested for walking home. when i asked the police officer he didnt have an answer but i lookd supicous. i askd if it was because i was a teenager and he surprisingly said yes. idk how to stop this but this has a=happened a lot to me in the pst 2 or 3 yrs.
I totally argee, adults always think teens are unpredictable and we do a lot of things that they never did.
Sometime i think of it as a family relationship. Depnding on we were rasie but then i sometime understand the adults point.
Eventually the teens will learn their mistake it part of life that where we pick up our wrong doings and try to fix it up.
Teens are just having fun right now, they'll learn not but pretty soon.
I like where you are coming with this topic.

Omg i kno! every other wednesday we have a minimum day and everybody goes out to eat around at all the restraunts near my jr high and somoe kids would go to this target and steal stuff and so they got in trouble but the staff took away the privelage of all jr high students from going into target without an adult with them. just because a couple kids are stupid and steal doesn't mean we are all like that!!!

I DO NOT agree that teens are as strongly discriminated against as you explain in this article. Howerver, you do make a point, people do stereotype

i totally know where you're coming from, i feel exactly the same way.
even i, who is a teen, discriminate against other teens without even realizing it at the time.
im afraid of other teengaers (ones who are a lot older than me) and have the stereotype other people see when the look at us...
i think that they are up to no good, even if they're just hanging out.
the same thing has happened to me, im just hanging out with my friend(s) and adults give us wierd looks and point at us.
but hey, i live in san franisco, and when you have blue and purple hair like i do, its hard NOT to attract attention. :)
congrats on your article winning #1 :) mine is #3 lol
comment on it if you have a chance :)

I know, and if I act good and stuff, they treat you like a kid! Can we have a compromise, like be treated like an adult but not discriminated? Thank you!
