The thing that bums me out about 'The Real World' is I don't want to believe that teenagers are that stupid.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ultimately, criticism that 'The Real World' has devolved into a lesser enterprise comes from the viewers who came of age alongside it, not the teens of the moment that MTV has always existed for.
Young people want you to be real with them.
Teenagers are in some ways the best readers because their imaginations haven't been narrowed down by boring things like jobs and the realities of money and capitalism.
It's true, I don't like the real world.
I think that when you are a teenager, it's the smartest you will ever be in your life. Teenagers are so resilient and strong, it's just amazing.
I don't have anything new to say about teenagers.
I would hate to be in high school now. Psychologists talk about the 'imaginary audience' that teens seem to feel they have around them and that makes them think they have to keep up their image all the time. Now with Facebook and MySpace and 24/7 online access, that imaginary audience has become real.
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.
Teenagers try to hide what's really going on in their communication online.
Teenagers are philosophers. They are thinking about the big things like existence and identity at a time when their identities are changing so fast.
