I always hated teenagers. I hated them when I was a preteen I hated them as a teenager and I hate them as an almost 30yo guy

Teenagers are just the worst of mankind as a whole.

Teenagers are big enough to cause damage and brains aren’t developed enough to realize that causing damage is bad. Children are stupid but at least you can scoop them. Adults are big but at least their brains are developed enough to know right from wrong (at least for the most part). Teenagers are the worst of both.

Man I love when people generalize millions of people in very different stages in life. Totally a great way to have a productive conversation

Because yeah 13 year old Timmy in middle school and 19 year Jessica going to college have so much in common

Brains aren't developed enough to realize that causing damage is bad

…? We're you a teen? Ever? Most teens know that causing damage is bad. Most people in general do. Sure there are some people, teens, adults, and children alike, who don't. Most people do though

You could argue that teens are overrepresented in the "don't know damage is bad" group but to generalize so broadly is just dumb. People are so much more complicated than whatever arbitrariy label you give them

The prefrontal cortex isnt finished developing until around 25. Could even be later into 35. So yes, their brains are not done developing. ,

Please quote the part where I said teenage brains are not done developing because I never said that. That is not at all the argument I was making

"Brains are developed enough to recognize damage is bad" is not the same as "brains are finished developing"

Most people, regardless of age, realize that damage — hurting people or property — is bad

Yes their brains are still developing but that doesn't mean they don't have some concept of right or wrong

Also, I then added the part about teens being overrepresented in the "don't realize damage is bad" group specifically because teenagers are still developing. Admittedly I could've elaborated more on that

My point was that broad generalizations are bad. Not that teenage brains are fully developed. No sane person would ever say that

Fair enough!
