You forgot to mention that everyone treats you like a kid while they expect you to act like an adult

[coolbrotherf]

Getting your first job is really awkward because people make a weird face when you say that this is going to be your first job. It's stupid because how many jobs do people expect a 16 or 17 year old to have had? They have to start somewhere.

[thomassaurus]

I don't have friends, it's much easier this way.

[Hopeofmen]

Unfortunately, some of this extends into your early twenties...

[jayk]

Another thing I hate about being a teenager is that I am not allowed to complain about one small thing without adults instantly disregarding me as just another "edgy, moody, hormonal teenager". Honestly, it's like I can't have a bad day without the puberty card being thrown in my face by some angry adult.

[becbekkette]

"Because now people expect you to act like an adult. And you still feel like an idiot."

Yup.

[hannahstange]

"DATING. I mean, it's just stress for no reason!" I literally paused the video and laughed over this 😂. Oh my goodness YES.

[shatter]

Ugh prom and dating x-x
Not doing them is almost worse than going with the crowd, because everyone wonder why you don't have a date and don't want to be a part of the biggest drama-fest of the year. And then they all use the same excuses to try and get you to do it

[WeirdAl]

I remember when my dad threw a graduation party for me and my sister a lot of family members asked "What are you going to do now?" and I would immediately reply "I don't know..." to which they would say "What do you mean 'you don't know'?!"you see, my step-sisters had kids when she were still teenager, my parents had me when they were 19,   my step-mom had my oldest step-sister when she was a senior in high school, so it only makes sense that they would all have to get their lives together as quick as possible.But me, I didn't think I'd make it past high school, so when I graduated I decided to rest for a bit. Now I'm 22 and in college, and I still don't have my entire life planned out, and I've discovered that this is OK. Even though I'm not a teenager, I can still have fun and not worry so much about responsibility.

My favorite sound effect in blimey cow videos is the occasional bicycle horn deployed right after a great punch line! lol

[ThePartyboy]

Here's a few more
Always being angry for no reason.
Wondering why a girl tells you they like you And then lie to you
Trying to tell a girl that you like her
Trying to fit in

[brianjohnson]

I was sitting here agreeing with every word spoken...

[modestieispurete]

Your Audible commercials are the classiest ones I've seen on YouTube, like, ever. (And, if you spend any time on YouTube, you know Audible commercials are a dime a dozen...). I'm consistently impressed by you guys.

[beccahawkins]

There are a whole lot of things I hate about when I was a teenager.

Another of them is that some people assume that all teenagers are rebellious. I wasn't.

It took me to my late 20s to become rebellious. :)

[sportslife]

I totally agree with you on all of these, especially prom. I mean, I have no interest in prom. I've told my older sisters that I'm not going to prom because the idea seems stupid to me, and yet they look at me like I'm some sort of anti-social non-human being. I have a feeling when the time comes they are going to force me to go.... but if they do try to force me, I will leave the house in a dress acting like I'm going, but in reality I'm just going to go to a friend's house or something.

[Finalsuspect]

I didn't go toy senior prom because I don't know a girl that I wanted to ask, I don't like dancing in a room full of people who are grinding all over each other, and I had better things to do with my money. Everybody at school today said they hated it on Saturday.

[ballisticnate]

i agree... esp with the dating part. I personally have never been on a date, but i do know most teens date a lot and its stupid to think that everyone needs a bf or gf by the time they are 14.

[obiwattkenobi]

I never went to prom... I never had a date... I never knew what I wanted to do with my life... and I regret nothing!

[Afterword.]

"Just so, so many reasons that nobody could have seen coming." 

I lost it there. Oh, so true.

[ChristySmithDisney]
