That all teenagers must spend all their time chasing girls and going to parties as to not be “losers”. I see this attitude both from older people and from other teenagers, though it annoys me mostly from older people, as they just can’t seem to fathom that some teenagers have interests that aren’t just… Wasting their time? I mean don’t get me wrong, I enjoy doing it as much as anyone but it bothers me when people talk to me like it’s the only thing I should be doing in my teenage years…
And the other thing is the stereotype that you need to talk to teenagers with a belittling attitude, I really don’t know how to explain it but I sometimes feel like older people (not like old old, people in their mid to late 30s) feel the need to talk to me in a different, more “fresh?” or overly friendly way. It’s not just individual people who do this, big companies also do it, and it’s just as annoying. Like, we’re both adults, just talk to me like normal… (I guess this doesn’t apply to teenagers, younger than me but I’m talking about stereotypes that bother me so Idc, I’m 18 and this has bothered me for as long as I’ve been able to notice it)
