There's more but my hands are tired! Bye

[loveisbeautiful]

I know you said you wrote this for people your age, so I'll respect that. I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry things are rough for you and you're not enjoying your teen years, I hope what ever your dreams and goals are that they come true and things get better for you in the future. Good luck.

P. S. Though you may see me as old, I do understand some of those things that you're feeling. I especially get the bulling part, I may be older then you but I do get it and I do understand how you feel.

[OlderAndWiser]

Since I'm 61 and you are 15, I guess that I am one of the old people you are talking about. I don't hate teens and I don't like making fun of them. I volunteer time mentoring teens and I love having an opportunity to be an influence in their lives. So please don't think that all of us old timers have the same attitude!

[myTake Owner]

I'm sure you nice but you should see how rude the adults are talking to me on this thing right now. Its ridiculous lol and that's what I meant XD plus this mytake wasn't supposed to be tooken as serious as it was tooken, if anything not serious at all for older men to get as upset as they are about it haha

It's ace attorney time ! (this is just a phase for me, I need this)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx0zW3MkaA0

1. You made a spelling mistake there, not good for your case

2. ? I thought it was supposed to be the "sweet" 16 thing

3. Can't you walk? I still walk most place but then again, this is England

4. Scares you away from boys? It should be the opposite, if a boy wants to take you out then he has to meet your dad and to do that he'll need balls of steel

5. ¿ really? Here I was thinking girls were more touchy feely. Hold it ! Maybe your friends are the actual lesbians

6. Sounds like you could use a mentor

7. That's nothin' to do with age. Adults get bullied as well, they just call it blackmail

8. I'm stumped, no idea where that comes from

9. See number 6

10. Explain, what meds? Is it this prozac stuff I keep hearing about?

11. see point 10

12. Not true at all, a lot of people give up their time to help teens

13. Well that depends how old they are, the ones who're in a retirement home would really appreciate a 2nd player (if you know what I mean)

14. Don't forget menopause but that's a long way off. Oh, puberty is all part of the joy of being a woman

15. did the media get you? Try and wash your mind with soap

16. Too much sex ed? Just askin' (I don't know what's goin' on at your school)

17. ¿ Explain?

18. Yeah, you don't really want to use that, keep away. Stick to Q & A sites, you can actually get something from it

19. See 16 (in brackets)

20. See point 6

21. *rubs chin* well are they really your friends or just "friends" ?

22. Weird dreams are good, I like it when I get mine. I've seen some stuff

23. Ok, I second that, it's crap ain't it? Really the best part is the end but should get some good moments

24. Well "education" has changed. It's better to learn a trade these days. Grades don't matter that much in a trade

25. Not sure what you mean there?

26. Your between the time where your a kid and an adult *cough* (in bewteen 10 and 20)

27. You can get it back, a lot of people fall into pits at some point

28. Hold it ! You should watch anime instead, seriously go watch some Ranma 1/2

( the link www.englishanimes.com/.../ )

29. Well we need to have our fun somehow, if you want to throw in the towel just say you had enough

30. When she's on her deathbed, her tone might change

[DooMguy]

Also nice cupcake if you drew that, and these days we're supposed to show empathy and that but that's not really my thing. . .

[myTake Owner]

Your kind of a jerk and I suggest you rub your negative energy somewhere else. Your not needed here :/

[myTake Owner]

And this really wasn't Aimed for you. Your too old. Sorry dude.

[DooMguy]

Well as usual that didn't work out, DooMguy was trying to be nice but as they say "the best laid plans etc. . . " oh well , no harm done.

but you did mention adults though? So you don't want opinion of adults? DooMguy doesn't. . . Actually holdup, was it ace attorney that ruined it for you?

[myTake Owner]

There wasn't anything very nice that he said. He... Doesn't know me.. And should keep those kind of opinions to himself. And no. I don't want any from adults on this my take. It was really for other people my age to relate to (girls mostly), and not for any adults to instagate and disrespect my thoughts (as they always do)

[DooMguy]

I object to that, I gave some legit advice there (some of it was just sarcasm) but there were diamonds in the rough. If you didn't want no adults why didn't you write it? (also this is the whole "age discrimination" thing goin' on). I'm not sure about "instigate" and "disrespecting" I don't see why it would always happen

[myTake Owner]

Some of it (all of it) was you just being a jerk. I shouldn't have to write that to keep off haters. Just go man. Your really getting on my nerves you should of never commented I didn't ask for your "advice" take your anger out somewhere else.

[DooMguy]

Yeah, well it weren't intended to offend. I really weren't hating. I would go. . . But I like to get last comment. I'm sure I was the first to comment, so it was better then nothin' right? Also I ain't angry

@Mustachekitteh you know that blackquill guy actually looks good. . . anyway

It didn't have any problems the other times I've used them. So I don't see how it would mess it up.

Just the basics for HTML and CSS.

@Mustachekitteh Not bad, you're ahead of me. In my line of work I only use CMD rarely. Maybe one day you'll become a hacker

Everyone is different and has different life experiences (and thus different responces and different advice to give).
I think quite a few of these points are specific to you and the circumstances you're in rather than your age.

I have noticed as I've grown up and from what I notice from people around me that opinions from teenagers aren't always taken too seriously, and I see this as an age specific thing due to the overall amount of life experiences that you've had at this point in your life compared to what other adults have done. Personally I try not to take this as a rule but as a guideline as I have had conversations with 15-19 y/o's who's I've taken to respecting how they deal with life and how they have conversations with others, etc.
I'm not sure on any advice that would help you with this. Perhaps learn the things that work, what things work better than others. One thing I do is watch what other people do in the same/similar situation and try learn from that, or speak to people who have done/gone through the same/similar things in order to build up a bigger, better picture of the situation and how I can deal with it better.

In regards to Driving, I think it's an amazing skill to learn and I highly recommend learning how to drive properly and safely. Despite the hazards, which can be minimized through careful and attentive awareness, I found it lead to a freedom that was impossible beforehand.

I can't say much for suicide. My parents neither said anything or did anything when I desired to kill myself, nor have I told them about the time I almost drove into a cliff face at 100 km/h with said desire to kill myself.
Mostly I deal with it by finding things that I really enjoy doing and things that take my mind off it. It's something that has vaguely lead to a sort off acceptance of the imminence of death and subsequently lead me to a state of repose.

I've never had the impression that people hate teenagers.

As for sex and kissing. I never found that doing it for the sake of doing it to lead to anything satisfying and would wholeheartedly recommend that be patient with it, of course it's your life and you are able to do as you please with it although I get the impression that you'd be better off waiting for someone who you have a strong connection with, not just sexually but also emotionally and intellectually.

[Jibaku]

Please don't become dreary about friendships. They have a great worth to them and they add something to your life that sort of fills it out better. Not to mention that they are people who you can go back to time and time again for company, laughs, talks and doing things,,, which beats the hell out of no friends and loneliness.

Weird dreams? What's a normal dream?
Compile everyone's dreams and you'll find common themes (human imagination only stretches so far and consists of everything conceivable) just the more specific and person related stuff will differ.

High school and grades aren't synonymous with success post-high school and a perfect life. Albert Einstein didn't do particularly well in non math/science related subjects and yet went on to do write out the theory of relativity which is hugely influential.
I didn't do hugely well at school either. As I got into my later years I didn't give to hoots about it and pretty much had passing grades for all my subjects, yet

[Jibaku]

yet with a bit of personal application I got into University and while not completely agreeing with everything that occurred I did have potential to do very very well.
That said, the modern society at large (perhaps bar Africa, South America and the Middle East) does place a huge emphasis on rote learning and I'd almost say it dictates your life based on your ability to recite 'information'.
I'd still recommend making an effort to be an above average student as it probably will make your life easier (not as easy as not existing but hey).

In regards to Ambition, it does require you to be willing to work through or around all obstacles in order to reach your goal. That said your goal needs to be important enough to push through all the shi-
I remember reading something that said, along the lines of: Find a job or people who are willing to pay you to do something that you are good at and/or enjoy doing.

[Jibaku]

As for Nickelodeon and MTV, I don't know if this is a conclusion that you've come to or something that gets enforced by your parents. Personally I say watch what you enjoy and what makes you happy.
Mostly I watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer because I very seldom need/want to watch anything else. That said, when I'm craving an entertainment that Buffy doesn't provide I find something that does, I may watch Zombieland, Daria, South Park, Community or even Cardcaptor Sakura.
Sometimes I paint as well, sometimes I play video games, sometimes I just want to pound the punching bag or go for a run.

[Jibaku]

Perhaps more importantly, being 15 y/o can allow you to try new things, things that can become difficult to do when you have to support yourself (and other people).
Being 15 allows you to look at things more openly at things that adults don't or can't consider. As people grow older they tend to stick to patterns or only see things certain ways while younger people have a much more open perspective on things. Like an analogy could be with a camera, older people may have the lense more restricted and take pictures of the same/similar things in a certain style while younger people may have the lense wider and take pictures of everything in multiple different ways.
That said, you shouldn't flick the lense to wide and aim it at the sun.

Not long ago I wrote about my life in a somewhat watered down version, if interested: novni.com/.../something-or-rather-about-my-life-particularly-the-relationships-in-it

[myTake Owner]

Thanks :) and thanks for being one of the only people to have something respectful to say. I appreciate that :3

[SomeGuy37]

Not just harshing on you, but if you cleaned up the spelling and grammar errors, your point might be better-received by older people.
"If you say boobs in front of your friends, your instantly a lesbian" What's wrong with being a lesbian? Statistics say that at least a few of those friends are too!!
You use 'A lot' correctly!! Bonus points for that!! Seriously!! You don't know how many COLLEGE-EDUCATED people get it WRONG!!!
It isn't hopeless!! Just don't take their sht!! Whenever someone older criticizes you, say "Thank you Sir/Ma'am" and they will be thinking WTF?
Keep them on their toes!! If you want to be a Smart-A$$, ask them what they would have done/said, instead of the thing that they criticized you for!!
Don't assume that everyone that is older, is 'Wiser'! Most are complete IDIOTS, and just barely get by!!!
Don't assume that everything everyone older says is meant to put you down!!
Most of us, older ones, that is, grew up at the School of Hard Knocks!! When you said something 'stupid' the older ones, parents, aunts/uncles, etc, would smack you on the back of the head and tell you to 'Wise Up!'
You need to toughen up a little, and learn to take some insults and condemnation!! You are going to get it, all your life!! When you learn to take it, in context, and only take it seriously, if it is from someone you trust, and believe, you will be better off!!
KNOW that you are going to FCK UP, A LOT!!! It is part of growing up!!! You WILL make mistakes! It is HOW YOU DEAL WITH THOSE, and HOW YOU MAKE IT RIGHT, that defines your character!!
Goolge the difference between 'Your', and "You're" and get that right!!
Learn a lot of really interesting, strange facts about common things, and then just say them, in conversations!! It FREAKS PEOPLE OUT, because they immediately assume you are SUPER SMART!!
by the way, all those that say they are doing all those things that you think you want to do, REALLY AREN'T, and they LIE!!! It's part of being your age!!
Don't rush into sex, or dating, or any of that, and just figure out who you are, and all the other stuff will fall into place.
Talk to your grandparents, and ask them about their lives, and REALLY WANT to know!! If you still have them, they won't be there for much longer, and they have REALLY GREAT stories!!! They love you, and you are young, and they need someone that cares about them, and they are usually forgotten, in rest homes, or wherever!! Don't miss out on all their wisdom, and stories!!

[MrOracle]

No doubt, we all go through a period of time where things change a lot and we feel confused and lonely and out-of-place. We know we're supposed to become adults but we don't really even know what that means. We feel like we're being given lots of responsibility, but not enough authority or privileges to go along with it.

That's part of growing up, and it sucks, but in a few years, you'll be thankful you went though it at this age instead of when you are older. I've known people who were sheltered from the need to grow up until they were in their early 20s, and WOW did they struggle to cope with the realities of being an adult and having to take care of themselves. By the time you're that age, you'll be much more comfortable and confident with yourself, and you'll have figured a lot of things out that you won't even realize, but it will make those years much easier for you.

Keep in mind that your parents don't really know what they're doing either, and the same with many other adults. As an adult, you often feel like you are still faking it, and that somehow you missed the "adult training" that you assume everyone else got. Well, they didn't get it either, and they're trying to fake it too. That means they're going to make mistakes and bad calls and such, and sometimes that will affect you. In most cases, they are only trying to protect you, and, when you are a few years older, you might even discover, to your shock, and some of the things you HATE them doing to you right now were RIGHT - they really DID protect you from yourself even though, right now, you can't conceive of how that's possible. And sometimes, they were just stupid and wrong.

My advice is this: most of the social things about being your age that are REALLY important right now won't matter at all in a couple of years. All of that high school drama will be left behind forever. The only thing that will matter is the friends you made, the fun you had, and the friends that you've managed to KEEP once HS is over and you all go your separate ways.

So, don't stress about those things too much, because even YOU won't care about them in a few years. Do your best in school, and the rest of the time, appreciate the time you have with your friends. You'll never have as much free time again.

[TypicalBiblical]

Thanks :D (BTW ur 30 and your saying this crap about a my take to a person who's 15 years younger than you? Wow. I hope you don't have any kids lol)

[MaiNameIsSunshine]

Excuse me Ms. myTake Owner, you put this on the internet on a website about opinions. He's entitled to post this. The comment you just made is why us under 18 people can't get any respect. He said some rude things and you countered im the exact same way. You can't demand his respect so disrespectfully.

^My reaction to the grammar in this take and your replies

But seriously, I'm 16 and I get treated like an adult. You just have to figure out how to behave like one.
Honestly I'm trying as hard as I can not to offend you- I'm not trying to be a dick, I want to help you- but I think this'll probably sound like I am.

~If you want people on GAG to be nice to you, think about how you communicate through text.
~Don't sound like a Tumblr girl. Please. You will get no mercy.
~People hate teenagers for a reason. Prove them wrong. Don't be angry and complain about 30 thing. Break the stereotype.
~You (and I) are young, you (we) don't have responsibilities like jobs and mortgages, just school. You (we) can do stuff on the weekends. Go for a walk, cycle, run. You might meet an old lady walking her dogs who gives you some great life advice, then you'll feel good for the rest of the day.
~I have seen Nickelodeon and MTV with my own eyes. Bad move. Watch something good (I'm tempted to say anime but I don't know if you're into that sort of stuff. There are plenty of people here to point you in the right direction if you want to try though)
~Read some books. Not that Twilight/Hunger Games/Divergent plate margins stuff. That'll just make it worse. Read something that will mature you as a person. Douglas Adams, Tolkien, Pratchett, Orwell (my personal choices here)

~That drawing must have taken some skill. Well done on that :)
~I'm just one person.

*things

Oopsies :P

[MaiNameIsSunshine]

I see your point but have you never had anyone talk down to you on here just because you are under 18? I've been here for years and sometimes I'll just comment my opinion (an opinion like, it doesn't sound like he likes you or I like Bernie Sanders) and if it isn't what the asker wants to hear they automatically go "you're just a stupid kid, come back when you're an adult" I've even had people say "you're under 18, you don't get an opinion". There arw times where I've asked for it, I'll admit but a lot of the times it's uncalled for.

[MaiNameIsSunshine]

*are

[Doffydood]

@MaiNameIsSunshine Well I can't remember the last time, but it probably has happened whilst I've been on GAG. Some people just can't take criticism from people younger than them. If they're smart they'll understand how to take advice from someone younger than them.
As long as you structure and present your side of the conversation like an adult, it's their problem if they just disregard your attempt to be polite. :/

[dartmaul15]

we've been 15 once, and this is over the top exaggerated.

Here's one single good tip regarding surviving until you are 18. "Accept the fact that you are legally, mentally, and socially still closer to being a child than an adult, and act accordingly."

You'll probably just call me out on this, but the simple fact is at the age of 15 your brain is still FAR from developed. Sure, it's more developed than when you were 13, but you're miles away from being an adult. You're barely scratching the surface of adulthood. Hell, i'm not an adult. What you're feeling is just the start of all the expectations the world has for you, and it will NOT get better. It will get worse. And to top it off you have sucky responsibilities like taxes and all that, and paying for gas and insurance, you name it. Eventually you also pay for housing an food, and all that.

See my point? You may be feeling like you're maturing, but you still got miles to go. And you should respect that. Once you do, people will be so much more fair to you.

It sucks to be seen as adults and treated as kids, but that's because you per def are. Just bite your teeth together and get through it without fucking up too badly (fucking up too badly means getting prego, dropping out of school, become a crackhead, and that stuff)? It's how everyone else before you did it.

[Queen_naki5]

Trust me, you're still maturing well into your 30s.

[dartmaul15]

@Queen_naki5 EXACTLY! There's a rason the therm "young adult" is invented to describe people in their early to mid 20s.

And the "problem" about being 15 is that you're starting to learn how to adult. The adults treat you like a kid in areas where theey know you're not mature enough to be an adult, and they treat you like an adult in areas where they think you're mature eenough to be an adult. Sadly the result is that it feels unfair at times.

It sucks (won't deny that), but you jsut has to survive it. And don't be afraid to just go your own way at times too. Because frankly, that's also a part of being adult. learn to say "whatever, i do what i want".

[Queen_naki5]

At 24, my parents still talk down to me because I'm not that great at saving. I would've never known that at my age they'll still treat me like some imbecile, but until I show them that I'm good at saving they'll always have something to say. College was a breeze and I did well so they never made a fuss about that but as long as they're providing for you they will treat you like a child.

[dartmaul15]

@Queen_naki5 they will ALWAYS treat you like thier cute little daughter/son. All you can do is manage on your own and try to not fuck up too badly.

And that's kinda the lesson OP need to get. Parents will ALWAYS nag at you, but deep down they'll be happy as long as you manage okay and are happy. Because ultimately that's what they want; happy kids who manage okay.

[Rawrzz]

Erum. I think these might just be things that you, as a 15 year old, are going through. They aren't things that all 15 year olds go through, many of them. And a lot of them are things that a lot of adults go through, as well. Just saying. Bad title.

You know. I'm sure you've heard this 1,000 times, but the teen years really are the best, even if they feel like they're the worst. I know when I was a teen, I tended to focus on all of the negatives; and, in doing so, I ignored all of the great experiences I had. So all I saw was negativity, even surrounded by loved ones and having a blast. Try to enjoy the moments you have. Because they'll be gone all too quickly.

And if adults aren't taking you seriously, try to think in their position. Would you take advice or consider a 6 year old to be mature? Probably not. You'd probably think "I know what you're going to go through for the next 6 years, and you're so young you haven't experienced half of what I have." So just accept that that is how you are viewed. If you whine about not being seen as mature, you'll definitely not be seen as mature. Understanding where adults are coming from will help them see you as more mature.

Hell are you doing on medication at your age? Jesus your country is a monstrosity. At 15 I had not a care in the world. I felt 10 feet high, had stacks of friends all over the place. I left the house at 15 with hardly a penny in my pocket and was working the next day in a different country. Just had fun at raves and in pubs, smoked hash whenever I felt like it and enjoyed the sunshine and parties. This social media shit doesn't solve problems, it just fills kids heads with them. I guarantee what your going through is just puberty but the bastards have you taking pills to make a few quid off your parents. They make billions from anxiety as if it's a problem. It's a natural survival function. We didn't always live in centrally heated houses and order our food online. We're pretencious animals. Anything you feel is natural. It's okay to think about sex all the time. I haven't stopped thinking about girls since I was 13. Adults hate you coz they want to be you again. Plus the world's full of assholes now with stupid priorities. Blame capatalism and all the conditioning propaganda they force into the media. People think to be worth something you need a big house and a nice car and lots of money. Bullshit. You need people. They're all that's important. Souless freaks run the world and they hate us coz we ain't but all out information is controlled by them so they contaminate the weak minded to be like them. Greedy, selfish scum. Your not fucked up the world is. Pardon the French but I'm passionate about this. You live in the worst country on earth believe me. Your turning into working, buying robots. Get the hell out of there before your 20

If I could go back in time, I wish I had never listened to those people who insulted me or expected me to be bad when i was a teen. What they said and the fact they expected me to be bad, even though I didn't deserve it, used to really hurt my feelings a lot.

Now that I'm older, I realize that most people at least respect people who act like assholes. And they don't insult them to their faces either. And that the older people, aren't mature at all. They might understand more about bills and the real world consequences... but that doesn't mean they stop making the same mistakes or make mature decisions.

If I knew back then what I know now about people, I seriously think I would've fell on the floor laughing if someone had tried to insult me because I was still a teenager. Adults can act so much worse, seriously. I DO wish I had talked about what I was thinking of more, instead of worrying about being embarrassed. I didn't want people to think I was a classic teen and judge me. Then I found out later, that whatever I could've done or thought of, can still not really compare to what plenty of the people in my own family did in their lives. I don't see any reason to be embarrassed about anything anymore.

And I also still like to watch my old favorite shows and everything lol I've found out there are lots of older fans! Like in the their 30s and 40s who are way more avid watchers than I am.

1. "Common sense" would prevent one from easily getting an eating disorder. (And it's *You're)
2. No one assumes you are going to raise hell at 16, your generation is one of narcissistic entitled yes babies. You can't raise hell if you are never told the word no, if everyone is a winner, and you have no consequences for your actions. Essentially you are hell.
4. Your dad scaring away boys shouldn't have any bearing on your attraction to them.
6. The things going on in your mind are petty, your generation is the most fortunate in human existence, you also have more protective agencies, help, and assistance than any other generation. So the times you "Attempt suicide" are spoiled kid attention seeking. Suicidal people don't "attempt" suicide they commit it.
7. Every generation gets bullied in high school, your generation happens to have a society that attempts to minimize it. The level of abuse that was acceptable in generations before yours would make your head spin.
8. Body issues... always existed. You aren't a special generation.
9. Eating disorders... see #1.
10. Instead of being taught to deal with real life, your generation is filled with pills.
11. See #10
12/13. Older generations have always hated the younger generation. Because the younger generation is always slightly more entitled or spoiled than the last.
14-25,28... 1st world problems.
29. It isn't fun insulting you, it's frustrating to have to point out the sheer petty nature of your "Problems"
30. Your aunt may simply be a c&nt, life is filled with them. Learn to deal with these types of people, as an adult you are not coddled in a protective bubble.

Let's throw some common sense out there. In reference to raising hell when you turn 16. If you do the things that self centered 16 year olds do, like partying, drinking, having sex, getting into trouble etc. then that's how people (including your parents) are going to treat you and no ones going to take you seriously and respect you. If you decide to focus on school, getting good grades, finding a job, setting goals and making plans for your life then people are going to respect you and want to offer you any help they can. It's going to be what you make of it and people are going to treat you how you act. Just remember respect is something that is earned.

the ironic thing is that i actually LOVED being 15. i know im only 18 now but every time i think about the craziest times i've ever had and the best memories, i think back to when i was 15. thats when you are starting to experience things for the first time. that was the year i used to smoke and drink a lot (was really into it all), did some other things i shouldn't have been doing but not going to get into that, had my first serious relationship and that was when i became comfortable sexually, met a lot of people, was just having the time of my life. and like i said yeah im only 18 now but things like partying and meeting new guys all the time is just old to me now. im over it. ones in a while i'll still go out and do something crazy but its pretty rare, thats just not what interests me anymore. so in my opinion, being 15 is a great thing. you'll miss it later on.

[AndyOh]

15 means you have a lot of growing up to do. Sorry, but anyone older will tell you the same thing. When you do get older, the things you thought were earth shattering and soooo important, will be silly and 'are you kidding me?' kind of stuff.
Suicide is one of the most assnine things anyone can do. Yes it is an escape and yes depression and other disorders can be soooo hard to deal with. But again, you have soooo much to live for and learn and grow into, such as a beautiful person to find what real love is about, real joy, and real Life.

[Muhammad1999]

Dear , everyone is not some , there are asshole adults and nice adults, if grown ups on gag have fun insulting you with no reason so don't give a fuck to those old pigs who do that, and if your body isn't smaller than your older sister you considered unattractive? of course not , if the person has beuty then no matter of her body bigger than her older sister , and lol yeah teens like sex a lot because of unstable hormones and that's normal , also don't mind of social media it sucks. And why raising hell in age 16 ? between 16 and 15 it's just one year difference. Hope it helps since am 16 and my age is near yours.

[TheDevilInside]

I'm one of those people who hates teenagers, even though I'm not that old yet. No, hate is not the right word. Fear is. I have been bullied by teenagers, despite me being older than them. They could be really mean, nasty assholes, especially in groups, which they always are. So I try my best to avoid your Kind unless some Teenager has proven themselves to not be such a nasty idiot.

[26ukdude]

I dont think old people hate teenagers, however what adults do hate is teenagers that swear and vandalise and cause problems and piss everyone off which upsets and annoys the rest of society. Yeh I was 15 too, that was 13 years ago actually but it didn't mean being a complete dick.
Everyone was a teenager, y'all wanna be treated like adults? Then behave like it

[godfatherfan]

now try being a guy and having mostly the same issues but your mind is on sex every 2 seconds if it goes off the subject at all.
unfortunetly, unless your one of the "pretty people" of the world, everyone hates being 15. For many of the same reasons. yes, boys have some different ones obviously. but it boils down to the same issues.

[MaiNameIsSunshine]

I don't have most of these problems bu I definitely get that "your 15 so you're a fucktard who can't have an opinion" shit. It's like they think when you turn 18 you magically get to have an opinion and you magically become a new mature person. Bitch no, just because you're 18 doesn't mean you're better than you were two days ago when you were 17. People don't change in a day...

[VegasNewFallout]

Protip: Since you a woman, you'll never be allowed to have an opinion.
