This may be a reality that no one wants to face but it’s true for everyone, just more so to some than others.

As teen-agers we often find that 7 times out of 10 we are stereotyped to be irresponsible and emotionally unstable. Put those things on a resume, and we’d get all the things we get today.

Just because we are all in the same age group does no mean we are all irresponsible and emotionally unstable.

During my research of this topic I realized that media is bias with adults.

I found a lot more articles that labeled teen-agers – as a whole – as “Bad People” rather than ones that recognizes us for good doings.

With the restrictions we have to face, a lot of teenagers feel trapped and feel like they are being treated like children – when we are t

We aren’t allowed to get certain kinds of jobs, and the jobs we do get, we are only allowed to work a certain amount of hours every week and not after 9:00 either. In some states if your parental figures let you get a job, they are entitled to your earnings. They have the right to take your money and spend it as they wish, as long as it’s legal.

A short survey revealed that 4 out of 5 girls wanted definitely to go to college, or some schooling after high school. It also showed that 2 out of 5 boys wanted to go to college, 1 didn’t know, 1 didn’t think so, and one definitely wasn’t going.

In another survey I did I realized that maybe differences aren’t as vast as I thought. Many teen-agers all want to do the same things. Hang out with friends, go to the movies, have fun. Some are more into family things, some read, some workout, others paint, play instruments, dance, and sleep.
