as an 18yr old boy with an 18yr old girlfriend, i'm proud to say that we're waiting to see if we get engaged before having sex
Not all teen are drug or sex addict. Everyone know that. The thing is that if you write a book, your protagonist must have flaws and weakenesses because it make them interesting. If they was not interesting, your parent wouldn't read it. Remind your parent that what they read in book is fiction. Beside the fashion, your most likely to act like your parent acted back then. If they aren't convince, than ask them what it was living in a commune and had F****ed fourty people a weak to promote free love, and incidently free MTS. Since it in book THEY MUST HAVE DONE IT.PowCoJG said:
You mean that it isn't a consented act between two people? Do you mean that he's gonna jump on her and force her because he is a guy? Wrong choice of word Nalesnik.Nalesnik said:Your mom should be more worried about you having sex with your gf cause your a male.PowCoJG said:
I'm 17 and i'm not a crazy drug-addicted nymphomaniac.
*shoots up* It's okay, i can quit whenever i want.
I hate all the douche-bag menace-to-society stereotypical teens on the news.
It's like a sort of racism, I go into a store and the shop keeper stares me down. (and i only *sometimes* steal stuff, lol)

A lot of people do. Here in Canada, I'd be amazed if at least half of teen population didn't use drugs - mainly illegal alcohol and pot.
Either way, it's pretty realistic.

Well, it looks to me like a classic case of Scapegoat, AKA the blame game.
Look. Obviously, there's going to be corruption in a few places. And you take a group likes teens.... It's not like we're our own species, or cult or anything.
If you have a group as big as teens, there will be goods and bads. There's good and bad white people. There's good and bad black people.
I'm really sick of this, and all generalizations. Girls are smarter than guys, guys are better at engineering than girls, whites are more organized than blacks, blacks are ghetto-er than whites, all of it, it's all the human mind trying to convince itself it's so much better than anyone else.
You see this prevail in politics, too, the whole "Health Care is obvious and republicans are idiots for not approving of it" and the other way around, and I'm not trying to show my political standpoint by having not written out the whole inverse.
Way I see it, some adults want to blame all corruption on teens. Some have just had bad experiences. Others just want to think teens are savage idiots so they can get this feeling of superiority.
That being said, I want to say that I'm a teen. I will say I have a minor degree of what the media suggests all teens are: I enjoy films like "The Punisher", laugh at crude and violent jokes presented in games like "Borderlands" and the TV show "South Park," and my weekends consist of killing people in the video game "Halo." But what parents and adults like to overlook is the fact that there is a limit. Some things that I've seen in shows that have meant nothing, violent things, have scared me a bit in reality. Adults like to say music and video games are tainting our minds.... well, if I remember correct, the Beatles supposedly promoted murder and Elvis promoted random sex, according to speculation in it's time. It's just ignorant people and unreal fears, you get one murderer who played Halo and now you just want to point fingers and send off the blame. As I've said, any large group will have nutcases.
The media and books are not there to portray truth. Batman, Superman, Iron Man, they prove this. The media is an industry. Books are part of an industry. They show off whatever grabs attention, NOT what it in reality. They're not there for accuracy, they're there for profit.
In general, however, I'd say a lot of teens are idiots, but that's probably more of my misanthropy speaking. All this "he loves her," "She cheated on him," all that drama, plus the generally dumb things people say and shitty music quotes people regard as deep and philosophical make me sick to my stomach, quite literally.

Well, to continue proving the complete opposite of media portrayal, I rarely drink, tried weed once and wasn't impressed, and am still a virgin at 19. But of course, no one would want to write a book about me either, because I'm not very interesting.

But the point is, it's not just their body. When they get high on meth and decide to go shoot some Asian shopkeeper for some extra dough, it's not just their body. It's the dude's life. It's his family. His customers. Do you realize what you're saying? Do you even realize how much of an effect death can have? Spouses, children, pets, anyone dependent on him for anything, any friends of his, all of that just because some guy wanted to feel good and start killing off logic and brain cells?
What about drunk driving, eh?
There's a reason they say "UNDER THE INFLUENCE." Because you aren't yourself when you're high. Just like driving drunk, as I said earlier. Your decision making process gets screwed up, reality can become distorted under your vision, all of that, you aren't a normal human being when you're high. Obvious logic slips away from you, from my understanding it's a happy daze where you cannot understand the consequences or reality of your actions.
Same goes for insane people. There's a reason they have insane asylums and rehab and all of that, because people cannot always make good choices.
But that's terribly off topic. And besides, teens aren't the only ones to get high.
Nope. Almost everyone I know all do those things responsibly enough to dodge an "addict" label. Just a generational thing. Parents hear of extremities that never occurred in their teen days assume everyone does it. Rainbow parties are just a moral panic though, sex educators haven't found evidence of one actually happening.
Which is why driving under the influence is illegal and drinking isn't for mature adults. They have a right to intoxicate themselves if they're in an environment that doesn't endanger others, but yes off-topic.eyaare said:
Well, teens are portrayed that way in novels because that is how they are becoming in the real world. I am sad to say I know more kids who do drugs and have sex frequently than I do who don't. Myself being in the later category.
By the way, this can also be credited to the media who created the image in the first place.gamefreakbsp said:
Popular characters will be emulated by the people who want to be cool. It's not actual corruption on the teen's side more than it is attention whores and stupidity.
