and anyone else who thinks that teens behave irresponsibly: they aren’t the only ones. Look at adults who behave irresponsibly, like Hitler, Stalin, Castro and countless others, or perhaps drunk drivers.

It’s not just the teens who have problems. The whole world has problems, so stop blaming the people who can’t defend themselves and see that it’s you and all the other people, including teens and adults, elders and children, who have problems not just one section.

Take responsibility for your actions and don’t hide behind others. Everyone is screwed up. Everyone makes mistakes, including adults and in fact, people make most of their mistakes as adults, since you only spend 12 years as a child, seven years as a teen and about 80 years as an adult. The majority of the mistakes you make will be as an adult. Just something to think about. anon3450
