Teenagers today are more free to be themselves and to accept themselves.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think there is a point in every teenager's life where they are forced to come into themselves.
Teenagers only have to focus on themselves - its not until we get older that we realize that other people exist.
Teenagers are philosophers. They are thinking about the big things like existence and identity at a time when their identities are changing so fast.
Teenagers are kinda the same wherever you find them in America.
Teens are passionate, questioning, curious, have a bit of the idealism I still cling to, and they're making decisions for the first time that can alter the course of their lives - and sometimes, the course of the world.
I think young adults get a bad rap for being self-absorbed and self-centered. My experience going around the United States and speaking in schools is that teenagers here are very interested in the fate of their peers around the world.
What teenagers want most of all are social rewards, especially the respect of their peers.
I've never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It's probably because they have forgotten their own.
I don't have anything new to say about teenagers.
Who really wants to be themselves when they're teenagers?
