Ah I see I am not alone.

Sameee

Its 1 here lol

That's exactly what I was thinking

Because teenagers often act like they're a different species. Take it from someone who once was a teenager. Also, it would help if teenagers didn't write-off when adults are trying to help guide them, we do it because we've been there and actually know what we're talking about - but alas, teenagers will always think they know best.

eiknujcisuma See, this is exactly the problem. When trying to be helpful, you talk down to us and make assumptions. None of us think we know better than everyone else! But we are trying to make our own decisions, and have to trust ourselves to be able to do that. If you think we act like some strange emotional species (which, by the way, othering us doesn’t help you connect with us) then stop talking to us in ways you know is going to trigger our annoyance and shut us down from talking to you.

@@jules9964 well-put. I hope to remember your words when my children reaches adolescent. I hope to not alienate and make them feel like an 'other' and rather connect with them, because adolescent mind is a part of growing up. I've already been there and should tune into how it was for me and what I think would've helped guide me through it. Telling my young self "just listen! I've been there before" wouldn't never flown bc maybe i didn't want to be like that person, and maybe I don't believe they know what they are talking about. Age does not equal maturity.

@@eiknujcisuma "Take it from someone who once was a teenager" damn ok boomer. One of the reasons we're turning out to be what you all deem as "irresponsibly bad" is your mindset to which indirectly hurts us and our pride, and your annoying "I've been there, I know what I'm talking about.". I am raised to be a polite and well-mannered person, but goddamn I got to get this off of my chest. There are many instances where we are not what you think we are, and that's primarily caused by your words itself. If you keep persisting that "you absolutely know what we're going through", you're prohibiting our chances to make decisions and choices ourselves. We then become clueless and exclusively depend on you guys because apparently "you know what we should do", and that leads to problems we have to face (in which case, we don't know how to because of the obvious, and all you can say in this matter is "you should know how to solve this by now!") and ultimately ends up as "our fault" (and a bad future, really). If you notice we ever drift apart from you guys, just remember it isn't one-sided and that your doings are partially to blame for this. We appreciate you guys helping us out, but if you're all going to assume that we're a different species that can't be connected with, it's just gonna end up hurting all of us in the future. (Also adding that, if you guys ever play the "in my days" card, that's just gonna cause more harm than good. Times change, and so do mannerisms of different people and situations. Every individual is different and so are their experiences. Do not forget that, please.)

My son is so angry, any suggestions? Help!

Do you have one? I have 5!

@@IgivemylifetoChrist they’re all angry! Try to make him laugh, all the time,

It's not an act.

@@helpmegetto10kwithnovideos81 dude... so many possibilities. its not always difficult ofcourse, a lot of families don't have issues which is cool but generally becoming a teen is complicated and most parents don't know what to expect. Teen years is the time where kids feel a lot of confusion/ angst/ pressure/ curiosity and a need to expand.. so many new things are coming at them all at once while they are still learning to manage their feelings and see where they fit in. It can be difficult when your kid gets tense, overreactive or more closed of/ distant and secretive : you want to talk to them but you don't want them to push you even further away. You wanna know what is causing them to act that way but they won't tell u which can be very worrying. It's also a time where a lot of people develop mental illnesses. Dont think I need to explain to you why it would be difficult to talk to a person experiencing mental illness and not even really knowing it or how to deal with/ regulate it. Here again, you never really know what to expect and its hard n confusing for both the parent and the kid. There's a lot of other stuff that can also make it difficult, like drug abuse and trauma, but also natural causes like light disorders they might've had since birth (ones u don't always notice) or just their personalities (some people are born with more or less character and better or worse abilities to communicate).

Lol

No actually adults feel sorry for you guys because of everything you guys are going to go through before you become adults . It's a complex time in life and if you have adults around you that don't understand you , your teenage years are going to be a constant war

I think they forget how they acted because they were oblivious to their behavior and it is apparent in us.

Sometimes we as a parents just too busy to take a time to reflect on our kids. We are quick to judge not because we forget what it is but because we are too stressed and too tired. I can't speak for everyone but I speak for myself...

Or might be because their generation of being teenager was a way different than our generation

Because I was better teen then them 😉

@@ishitapanchal6777 it’s terrifying these days…. I was never angry and I loved my family, and my son is angry often and doesn’t like to communicate, always on a screen

We want freedom! We want change! We want our lives!

Not for all people. When you experience many different walks of life. Youre speaking of very narrow minded thinking, that is a very child/teenage thing. Which makes sense when theyve only experience 5, 8, 13, 16 years of life. Some grow up with more diversity and some grow up very isolated or close nit and dont see much of how others live or how others family or home life is. They know theirs. And thats another adolescent mind set is that everything in the world is the same as everything in my world....

Sounds like old people! Your talking about elders! Who refuse to accept modern reality and force their ways of thinking from back of their day!

My mom just sent me this...I'm still watching it

Well if my son help little at home and clean himself mess and respect me I won’t nagged him .

And realize the adults that was around where just old people trying to push their ways trying to make you submit to them! This is why so many people barely afford basic necessities. Because they think $15 is enough for younger people ignoring the hyperinflation! And unwilling to reform their ways! So they push the older ways thinking it will fix everything!

@@iseytheteethsnake6290 you're absolutely right 👍 Old farts Old ways Old mentally . young minds are suppressed , for control purposes

It's not like he's treating teens as if they're sub-human. Are you taking it more personally because he compared the way teens think to dogs?

@@theincrediblediblegg "When he said teens were losing the power of rational thought, he didn't know how close to being right he was" that's treating people sub-human. and yeah, comparing us to dogs doesn't help.

The fact that this is your response proves his point entirely 🤦‍♂️

I really hope you re-read your Bible and use correct hermeneutic in your attempts at interpretation. Taking Scripture out of context and teaching will warrant correction and discipline from our Heavenly Father for participating in false teaching. John 3:16
