Apart from a small minority, teenage boys fall into three distinct categories: macho, metro, or just plain muddled.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every teenage artist out there is mostly talking about boys, and I think there's so much more to being a teenager than just boys.
Teens are always shown as one dimensional. They're stereotyped. When I was in high school, I cared about more than getting a date or making the team.
Teens are the target demographic for everything in pop culture.
Boys are lacking in female skills, dropping out of schools and ending up in jails and unemployed because they lack these skills.
The area of teenage life is not necessarily rarefied; we've all gone through that period. It's not as rarefied as a western or a space adventure or a gangster film, but it has its own dynamic.
Adolescence is a difficult time at the best of times, and especially in a smaller town - there's all these different energies going on.
I've lived with boys and girls, and I find that boys are generally cleaner than girls. Generally! This is a big generalization!
When it comes to raising civilized kids there are no hard rules, but there are two things on which most parents agree: Boys are generally wilder than girls, and adolescents are wilder than kids of any other age. If you've got an adolescent boy, you're in the sweet spot for trouble.
Adolescents are not monsters. They are just people trying to learn how to make it among the adults in the world, who are probably not so sure themselves.
The subculture of felons is in great vogue among adolescents. Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, and so forth allow us Republicans to say to America's young people, 'We be thugs.' The GOP may capture the youth vote at last.
