Being a teenager can be pretty awesome. You're not a kid anymore, but you're also not an adult yet. There are still no crushing responsibilities, but you have heaps of free time to do silly (and sometimes questionable) things. In fact, when The New York Times asked 18 young people what's best about being a teenager, they said it's the freedom, independence, and being able to have fun with friends.

So today, we have for you the best memes about what being an adolescent is really like, courtesy of the online community r/teenagers. The teens will surely find some relatable content below. And those of us who are a bit older might find that we have more in common with the youngsters than we thought, even if we have fully developed frontal lobes.

    We think we all know what we refer to when we say "teenager," but the actual age of teenagers can sometimes get mixed up. Is an 11-year-old a teenager yet? Are 19-year-olds still teenagers? The World Health Organization, for one, places teenagers between the ages of 10 and 19.

    The American Academy of Pediatrics distinguishes three stages of adolescence. They say that it starts at 10 years old and goes on until we're 21 (and, sometimes, even beyond!). Early teenagehood, according to them, is from 10 to 13 years. Middle adolescence is from 14 to 17, and the latest stage is from 18 to 21.

    no, thats too easy. kids need rules and boundries. what you are talking about here is mistreatment or abuse and not teaching kids how to apply rules to.show some respect to other people on the same planet. its a huge difference a lot of young parents dont get. no, yout kid is not in the spectrum or has ads, you just raised him to be an egoistic as......le, cause you are to lazy or "open minded" to stand up against your own childs tantrums.

    Ok thanks for saying this! I had "strict" parents in that they wouldn't let us behave like wild things when it wasn't allowed, we had curfews, dress codes, things like that, but they were far from abusive and I never was scared of them. So strict does not always equal abusive. For those who had abusive parents and had to learn these behaviors I'm so sorry!!!! That should never have happened and it's not your fault.

    I think this person is speaking specifically about unrealistically strict parents. Not chores and curfew and responsibilities but things like getting hit multiple times with a back scratcher because you forgot to start the washer or having your bedroom door taken off because you didn't take out the trash fast enough. A child wouldn't feel the need to lie, manipulate, and steer clear of their parents if something wasn't very wrong.

    Maybe it is because I never had children of my own, but I wonder that so many parents forget, that children learn how to behave by observing their parents and other grown ups. If you behave nicely to the children, they are taught how to behave nicely to other people.

    Nowadays, we associate teenagers with rebellion, sulkiness, and phrases like "It's not a phase, Mom!" But teenagehood wasn't always a thing. Teenagers as a concept in society only appeared in the middle of the 20th century. Until then, you simply used to be a child, and then, bam! You're suddenly an adult, having to work just like any other grown-up.

    Back in those days, people even treated children as adults. The world consisted of children and adults. Kids used to work menial and dangerous jobs at ages as young as seven years old. Children and teens usually worked on their family's farms, and when industrialization came around, they became factory workers.

    I feel very sorry for people who had this experience. My family have always listened to our opinions on those things and if they disagreed we had a civil conversation about (not that we differed that often). I sometimes forget not all families are like that. I'm a teacher and I have the same attitude with my students. We can have honest conversations about anything and I will listen and not get angry if I believe different, because how else does anyone learn if they don't hear different opinions?

    I do understand that in such situation as teacher it´s pretty rough and not easy. As former pupil in my long past, I also didn´t listen sometimes, I think that everyone did (I hope). But maybe this is about working on some sheet of paper or exercise and they have something where they´re stuck on and need a little help about something they didn´t fully understand in the first place and just need an explaination they can understand. Teachers make a huge difference. Like in maths I was always (I am from europe, germany) around the grades 4 or 5 which is USA equivalent of D or F. Changed school, suddenly math teacher explained the way I was able to understand and my grades went to As and Bs

    Several decades in working in education, and no it's very rare. What does happen, more frequently every year, is the teacher begins with the plenary, moves on to the instructions and lesson part and then, when it's time to do the practice bit find a number of children simply haven't bothered to listen. They unfortunately need to wait behind the children who need differentiated instructions, chunked tasks or other type of assistance. Once those needs are met, chances are some of the more able now need extension work. Really depends how varied the class is. I know some kids have been tested for SN, and had chats to make sure nothing is underlying yet still do this. In that case, we try and sit them towards learners who will be getting help. However, often it's just love lives and ticktok, so teacher might feel short tempered then.

    Of course, those who grew up in more well-off families wouldn't work on farms or in factories. They would receive an education and go on to become lawyers, doctors, priests, and such. Before the 19th century, only a small portion of the child population would receive any education in Britain at all.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The U.S. passed laws between 1920 and 1936 to save children from toiling away in factories. As a result, the percentage of kids and teenagers in schools more than doubled from 30% to 60%.

    The director of the documentary Teenage said that the Industrial Revolution inadvertently paved the way for child labor laws and, in turn, for teenagehood to become a thing. "The Industrial Revolution and the advent of child labor was a good way to bracket the story, since once you went to work, you were no longer considered a kid," he told Collectors Weekly. "When they started to make child labor illegal, this second stage of life emerged, and it needed a name. It was called adolescence."

    In high school, I had a biology teacher who would write everything he said on the blackboard and expect us to take it all down in our notes 100% complete and accurate (we were actually graded on the completeness of our notes). He’d fill the board, then without a pause he’d pull the board down to reveal an empty board behind it and just keep going. Woe unto you if you weren’t keeping up with him…

    The word 'teenager' wasn't always in our collective vocabulary, either. Some sources, like Merriam-Webster, claim its first (as in 'Teen-Ager') use was in 1913. Others say that a reviewer of Psychologist G. Stanley Hall's book Adolescence used the term 'Teen Age' first. However, the general consensus is that it was not widely used until the 20th century.

    OK, not to be "that guy" but I resent this comment some. Mostly because I have struggled with ADHD my entire life and despite my effort I find I constantly have to defend against both this exact stereotype & people who think that ADHD is made up. That I'm lazy & should "try harder" or "have more self-discipline". All due to the stigma around ADHD which is exacerbated to a frustrating degree when every other person claims to have it anytime they get distracted or have too much caffeine. I consistently have to find different ways to do things that always seem to come effortlessly to most people. Things like keeping track of car keys/phone, being able to follow a thought through to the end without being overwhelmed to tears by "channel changing" & even being able to estimate time whether it's how much has passed or how long something will take so that I can be on time or plan my day. Its so much more complex than being energetic & distractable. Nothing further, please continue. Thx

    The fact that the United States started recognizing teenagers as a separate age group is well documented by a 1945 New York Times article titled Teenage Bill of Rights. The 10 principles described in the text establish the essence of what we consider teenagehood now: the freedom and independence to become your own person. There was less pressure for adolescents to serve their parents and family, and they could go off and explore their separate identities.

    The Teenage Bill of Rights urged parents to let their teenagers explore the world, question things, and build their own philosophies of life. Much like what we today associate with teenagers, right? Rebellion, searching for meaning, the urge to separate yourself from your parents and family – all these traits of a typical teenager were already covered in an article from 1945.

    Naturally, teenagers then became the primary target demographic for marketers. Teens became trendsetters, and companies realized they were the ones to make the most profit from. Dwight Macdonald, a writer for The New Yorker, even wrote back in 1958: "To some extent, the teenage market – and, in fact, the very notion of the teenager – has been created by the businessmen who exploit it."

    There's some evidence that teens were even sulky and moody in 1950s Britain. The BBC writes how one mother described her woes with her teenage son in a letter to an agony aunt. "He's cheeky and he's sulky… why should a boy change like this? He resents any questions. The best I get is a polite yes or no, the worst an angry look which clearly tells me to mind my own business."

She just laughed at me and said that she would be my Grandma if I wanted. I was so embarrassed. The friend I was with said she could hear me on the other side of the store lol.

    Yes! My family and I went to Alcatraz when I was 7. We were all down in the outdoor courtyard area and I was wandering around aimlessly. I looked up the stairs and saw my dad going up without me! I was terrified they would leave me behind. I booked it up the stairs and grabbed onto the pant leg of my "dad". Looked up, and it was not my dad. My dad and family were still in the courtyard and didn't even notice I had run off.

    It's very normal to become more of a night owl during puberty, but 3-4am can be a sign of other issues: depression, video game/ social media addiction, sleep disorders, etc

    Every generation gets s**t on by other generations anymore. But I'm just a lazy millenial that's too sensitive, so what do I know?

    My 9th grade history teacher kept saying, 'Westminister Abbey'. It was making me crazy. I actually grabbed an encyclopedia out of the library and took it to him during break and said, 'Please....you have to stop. It's WestMINSTER....not Westminister'. He looked at me and I was quaking in my shoes, then busted up laughing. Next time in class he looked right at me while teaching and emphasized WestMINSTER Abbey.' lol

    I graduated high school in 2002 and when I was in school (back in my day you yungins!) it was FAR less stressful than what ya'll deal with now. Listening to my nieces and nephews talk about all the stuff they have to do compared to what I did is nuts. I do not envy kids nowadays.

    Those are Reddit awards. They’re saying they give very high grades to support the other student.

    I always hated that in school. My mom had a BA in English, her Bachelor of Ed and was a senior editor at a publishing company so I always had her proofread my essays. Then I'd hand it to my classmate to grade and it would come back full of red based on their bad grammar.

    Took me a bit but I got it. Talking to grandpa about his computer: Grandpa: It ain't work. Me: It ain't on. Grandpa: But it's on. Me: It ain't. They could have just made a meme themselves without all the unnecessary censoring to make this kind of work...
