Welcome To Night Vale Ep. 30 - "Cassette" - Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor

This quote was added by spacetimeenigma
When we talk about teenagers, we adults often talk with an air of scorn, of expectation for disappointment. And this can make people who are presently teenagers feel very defensive. But what everyone should understand is that none of us are talking to the teenagers that exist now, but talking back to the teenager we ourselves once were - all stupid mistakes and lack of fear, and bodies that hadn't yet begun to slump into a lasting nothing.

As a former teenager turned regretful adult, I agree with this quote. One of the great injustices of life is that we are completely unable to appreciate youth when we have it. No matter what anyone tells a teenager about the future and what they should do to take advantage of the time they have, they won't understand. It's not their fault, they just don't have the wisdom of time and experience. And just like us, by the time they acquire that wisdom, it will be too late to be of any use.

I disagree with this quote. The vast majority of teenagers today are self-centred, lazy, entitled and vapid. Teenagers in my day were responsible - we held down jobs while we went to school. We didn't conduct ourselves like loud-mouthed little know-it-alls as most teenagers do today. I blame social media and overly accommodating parents.
