what are some other stereotypes you have about high schoolers?

[annabeth]

I think yellow shirt dude is not trying to age to fast and is actually so smart. He was so mature and self aware and I respect that so much. He knows that you shouldn't be forced to be an adult when you are NOT one.

[passive-aggressive]

I think that a older gen z and younger gen z would be a cool spectrum with similar questions.

[TheNinjapancake]

Being “mature for your age” still means you’re young.

[eyden]

That first teen mentioned 'always being mature for his age'.
I grew up the same way and was always told I was mature for my age. But that doesn't equate to 'adulthood'. The older I get, the more I realize how little I knew, even though I was a 'smart child'. There is no alternative to sheer life experience.
Even a teenager who is 'mature for their age' is still a child in many ways. There's 20 year olds who are still children in many ways.
Sorry kids, but you are in fact.. kids. Lol

[daniescobarm]

they are kids, undeniably. its hard to see it at their age, but they still are. there’s nothing wrong with it though, and it shouldn’t be used to invalidate their thoughts and feelings bc they are very valid and insightful.

[TheNinjapancake]

I understand why they don’t want to be called kids. They are young people who are still responsible for certain things, but are learning how to be an adult.
Edit: Yes, at the end of the day, they are not adults. They are kids. Just want to clarify lol

[DNAngelDark]

“I’m mature for my age” is the epitome of child mentality.

[kttiez]

i’m a high schooler and I love being a kid, I don’t understand why they don’t view themselves the same way

[emilevanrensburg]

I love how they moved so many times because it illustrates that their opinions aren't fixed and it can change after talking it through. It's rare in adults

[monikgulbahce]

I think there's a big difference between being a kid who has to make adult decisions, and actually being an adult. What high schooler is ready to take out a 50, 000 dollar loan?? Choose their future path?? Its crazy how many adult decisions they push onto kids.

[HouseMDaddict]

One thing I will say about things high schoolers have harder nowadays is the documentation on social media. If I was getting bullied at school in the 90s and early 2000s, my bullies didn't have anyway to contact me at home and they didn't know where I lived. A kid bullied today, not only gets bullied at school but they can get blasted on social media and people can record and post the person in compromising situations through like deep fakes and stuff. SO glad, I wasn't forced to associated with bad people in my school outside of school.

Given the fact that high school students' brains are still developing, they shouldnt be considered adults. They still need guidance and nurturing. But nowadays, i do not know why high schoolers are fixated on acting like "adults" and missing opportunities to enjoy themselves before they take on all adult responsibilities.

[uzuiloverever]

Highschoolers are kids... Maturity has nothing to do with it

[heavenlyhashbrown]

Older millennial here! I’m sitting here on the verge of tears. Please, enjoy your youth. Don’t let these years slip away. Keep your held held high, respect others and practise empathy. But most importantly, have fun, make mistakes, love yourself and love others, and learn to forgive yourself. You’re the future.

[LovePeaceWhales]

I’m 22 and would still find it hard to call myself an adult, and I’ve always considered myself mature for my age. I’ve lived on my own since 18, went to school, work a full-time corporate job, I still feel like a baby tho. I wish we all weren’t in such a rush to grow up.

[fans-edtd]

Being an adult and being mature are not synonymous. There are many adults who are very immature and make poor and unsound decisions. Based on the comments I feel like ppl strongly favor either the biological, social, or legal definition of what it means to be an adult. Perhaps a discussion is needed on what it means to be and feel like an adult.

[aurorarockman]

I spent the whole video impressed with Ryder — his perspective, his articulation, and especially his confidence in asserting his opinions even when they ran counter to his peers. Then at 12:23 he revealed that he’s not on any social media, and it all made so much sense. I’m re-thinking my own social media usage after seeing this.

[chrissy-imnm]

i wish i could see a video of them reacting to this in 10 years. im 26 now and feel more like a kid than ever sometimes.

[nathang]

Yellow shirt is a walking W, smart, moral, disciplined, mature, and way more reasonable than anybody else there
