Why do we teenagers (and early 20s) tend to think we know a lot more than our parents do?

because we're stubborn and


a - don't want to listen to what people tell us to do and


b - we think we know more because we're in the situation as opposed to hearing about it or ';been there done that [like 20 years ago!!!]';Why do we teenagers (and early 20s) tend to think we know a lot more than our parents do?
it's perception and misinterpretation





with a little bit of nature thrown in . . .








Parents say no cause they know





the dangers involved because they





see the big picture, details and all,





and are in it for the the long term,





cause they've been there and done





that, but teens are in the here and





now, they respond quickly cause





there impulsive, and even worse,





suffer from a dangerous disease,





called '; Invincibility '; like cancer,





bad things are something that others





get and not them, until something





does happen then they go ballistic,





As for the nature part, they have to





be combative or eventually they may





just discover there can be a profit in





be nice to the old folks, and that in





turn can be detrimental when the old





folks kick off, and little johny and suzy





have to sell there @sses on the street





cause they don't know how to live any





other way . . .Why do we teenagers (and early 20s) tend to think we know a lot more than our parents do?
Arrogant little snots ; ) When you are their age you will figure out that you don't know jack and then your kids will be doing the same to you.
Probably cause we think we know whats cool at the moment. Although in 20 years we'll see how totally uncool we really were.
Well said!
