Err. When I was 14, I was in a serious relationship, I'd all but finished puberty (early starter but I won't go into the realms of TMI) and refined my personality.
When everyone else was 14, they were whiney, immature, obsessed with sex despite almost universally not having it and rude. They also think they were the dogs bollocks and had pretentions to being grown up.
On here, 14 year olds make threads about women problems and complain about 18 rated games. I mean, I was in love when I was 14 but I was in one hell of a minority, but you don't relise that at the time. It's like... kids go around all the itme saying they're in love with a girl because they gave them a hug or whatever then act all heartbroken and you say "you weren't in love, when you're in love you'll just know and you'll think you acted like a dick" they don't see it.
So you are saying you can't love someone unless you want to pork them :) Prior to your balls dropping you couldn't LOVE anyone is how this comes off..

Every now and again small 13 and 14 years olds think that they have got a a pair of balls and annoy the older gamers. It happens.

Everyone's an idiot in their teen years, you just don't realise until you get out of them, and spend the rest of your life trying to live it down.

ok, not that this really has to do with anything I've noticed the internet or particularly this site, but kids in general annoy me.

0-3 years old: can't talk, so they have no beef with me

4-6 years old: learnt to talk, start whinging and whining to mummy to buy a chocolate, and if they don't get it, they always have spare tears and screams to hand out, essentially embarassing their parents into anything they want

7-12 years old: they finally learnt the amazements of the internet, so waste all their time playing shitty litte games that eat away at the connection. They also send those damn annoying chain emails, e.g. msn is running out of names, send this to everyone you know so your email doesn't get deleted. what a load of crap!

13-15 years old: yay! high school! we're bigs kids now, so we can do whatever we want. let's muck up on the school bus and throw a banana at the bus driver! What a great idea! little pricks dont have any consideration for anyone else around them, and they are so damn arrogant

16-18 years old: okay, generally, i don't have any problems with these ages, unless they treat women real bad. I some people, and they've done stuff that you just would not believe. Oh, and when discovering the delights of alcohol, they tend to go a bit crazy. Control yourself, people!

yes, i have generalized, and to tell you the truth, i don't care. This is the way that I view the world. It's probably biased as all hell, and I don't care. I live my life by one very simple rule: people are shit! Humanity has lost its way, and it's not getting corrected any time soon, particularly by means of the behaviour of children.

and there's my 2 cents worth

I know why people hate us (Teenagers that is), its cause we are younger than they are, and they hate us for it....

On reflection thats proabaly not it =D But it seems strange to me that teenagers can be blamed for things they cant do.

Also annoyed that we have to pay taxes, and yet cannot vote...

Because the internet consists of fifteen year olds...
Best post on this thread.

On-Topic: Generalising, 13, 14 and 15 year olds are like a hive mind. A hive mind where every person involved multiplies the retardedness of the collective by 10. That's where the resentment comes from, even if there is the (occasional) exception.

Somebody with no experience of children.

They can talk from the age of 1 onwards. Younger children (1-3) are generally more pleasant to talk with than older children. 3-year-olds can often read simple books and hold quite coherent conversations about the contents.

This is not the fault of the children as much as a failing of the parents. Giving in to children and teaching them that by whining, they will get what they want is just positive reinforcement. If you don't teach them that it won't work, how will they ever learn? If you give in to them all the time, all they learn is that it works and they will keep doing it. Ad infinitum.

See the above. In a decade or so, when you start to seriously think that at some point you might have children, it will be YOU who will be the one responsible for shaping their upbringing and their views of the world. If you teach them values and common sense, they'll grow up to be perfectly likeable individuals. If you behave like an idiot, they'll simply go on to generate dozens of worthless threads on forums whining about how unfair life is, and never amount to anything in their pointless existence.

I did have a boy join my party on xbox live a few days ago, microphone too close to his mouth, had a high pitched voice which absolutely destroyed everyones hearing.

Me and the friends i've grown up with through pc games and now this console generation, surely don't have to deal with people like that, do we?
I think of it as a sort of privilege for elders :p

Empireth and Filecore, I agree with you two so much.

And just because someone has a high voice, does not mean that they are an idiot, and does not mean that all teenages have a high voice and so are idiots...

As a general rule, yes.

In video games, online ones to be specific, some go around annoying people and swearing, insulting, trolling, ect. Giving a bad image to all the other ones. But if you don't speak in mic, and type in proper english, you'll be thought of as a more mature person.

It has become .. A stereotype, if you will.

Goh I remember what I was like and it makes me sick. Yay high school! Hey look everyone else is swearing so they wont tell if I do too! Urk...
I think partly why kids in such an age range (11-15) are so nuts is that they've been sheltered from such things their entire life and they can't be any longer.
I had a friend who was taught taste from a young age. Didn't end up like that in high school, because all those things that they'd be able to do with more freedom now weren't new anyway and that person had no interest in it anyway. Although some kids simply cannot be taught... But I think if more kids were taught this then those that can't be taught wont get any more social status among their peers for going nuts.

Why all the hate? Because they are old enough to think they know everything, but not old enough to admit they are wrong...No, wait. A lot of people are like this.

It's mostly a lack of maturity, I would say. I like having a conversation on here, but when somebody calls me flat-out wrong without explaining it makes me want to do bad things. Though that rarely happens.

I really don't care about the age of people. It's just that younger people tend to be more annoying online and with their mics. I'm not discriminating here or anything because I've played with plenty of people who weren't young but were huge assholes, but it just that most tend to be young.

Maturity over Age. I don't care about what age someone is as long as their not total morons, in which case if they disagree with me they dish out the whole "gf kid".
A) 19 isn't a kid
B) I'll assume they're a kid if they say that as a retaliation of their idea of self defence on the internet.
I fully agree.

Maturity over age. I can fall into the category of those being hated, but honestly, I wish people didn't judge by the amount of squeaking in voices.

But yes, I sadly agree that many of these people (10-14, etc.) are retarded kids who scream, cuss, complain, think they're "TeH Shiet", and make you want to rip your ears out.
