Surely all of these problems would go away if teenagers would simply act rationally and do as they’re told. Has anyone tried explaining this to the teenagers?
Yesterday I heard a nurse/carer in an oldfolks home earnestly saying “I have a lot of interactions with teenagers, they literally don’t care about anything” 🤦
Seems ageist myopia is not uncommon. Do people just completely forget their teenage years? I’m in my 40s and I know kids these days are more anxious, and facing wild times, but otherwise they’re basically the same as we were at that age.
