Mostly because I found the class interesting.
I thought I knew what was going on in the world but I never had a
clue that so many kids were so screwed up.
Maybe some of what she teaches will rub off on them.
I hope so.

Yeah Im glad I dont have to work with teens --- you cant tell them
anything. They are all totally screwed up royally and no one can tell
anyone what to do

What a sad indictment on society this type of unmindful stereotyping. Of
course not all teens are royally screwed up. Most young people will
listen
to you if you have something to say in a way in which they understand.
"Adults" are stuck in the past with the children should be seen and not
heard mentality.

No kids then?

This is no recent thing -- our grandparents said the same of our
parents, our parents said it about us and we now complain about our
children. It's part of getting older.
Oh, and teenagers *are* exactly as described.

I see, you've met every teenager then have you? You are very sociable.

I agree with you about parents though, but you'd think at some point we
would learn from our experiences and not label all young people because of
our own childrens behaviour.
