Why do teens not matter?

Answer 1

Teens do matter. In fact, they matter a lot because they are the future decision makers of the world. If your question is "Why do people think teens don't matter?" then I have a simple question for you. Why do people think anything? People think what they think because of past experiences, religion, and I don't like it, but word of mouth. If you hear so many news reports about teens getting pregnant, teens doing drugs, teens stealing, dropping out of school, and having sex, you'll start to develop an opinion. Right now, a lot of this stuff is happening with teens, and so the opinion (made by common sense) is as strong and popular as ever. It is a form of stereotyping, in a way. It's not too late though, you can still make a difference. Do good in school, follow your heart, and don't let in to temptation!
