Surely though you can not be surprised by the fact that in the end, despite many times what the teens may think, they are ultimately emulating their parents' lifestyle. I'm 16, but I don't mind that you say that most teens are lazy and are not interested in anyone else; This is the sterotypical image of the American teenager. You are also being the sterotypical adult American by viewing teens this way. Then again, aren't we all subconciously applying sterotypes onto others based on the way we expect them to act and think? I doubt it is possible for even the majority of people to let go of this way of thinking; so how do you think things will be in a couple of years? Wow, the thought of it...

Sun, 14 May 2006 15:11:06 +0000 http://americancliche.net/?p=78#comment-438 This is probably completely rediculous but I have found that I also have had preconcieved notions about other teenagers. I feel somewhat ashamed admitting to this because I am not one who supports stereotypes in the least bit. I also feel pretty stupid saying this because I do believe that the fact that I am fifteen means that I myself am a teenager. I have nothing to say that could justify my thoughts of the adverage teenager being easily influenced, stupid, and self-absorbed. Perhaps it is because I am quick to blame the rest of the teenaged population for being the reason that I myself has been stereotyped in this manner.

Finally some people will listen to us. hear our ideas and see that 9/10 times we are atleast civil. Heck the best thing is that we have some serious thoughts that our normally ignored but maybe not now? Maybe your listeners will start to see that some of us are considerate and thoughtfull, maybe they will listen to the kid down the road ranting on about the War in Iraq, maybe they will listen to the kid complaning about the justice system. Maybe, just maybe we might be taken seriously by the population instead of just our family and close friends... Hi Scott,

This is my first time ever writing to someone or show which I listened to. And this also is a response, literally speaking, to a show which I came to contact with at the first time. This show really is my kind of show and really surprised to hear many topics in intellectually sensuous and hilarios. One can't just pass by without noticing other humane dimensions that you've shown in this show you have the most beautiful sense of humility in those topics you touched. From now on I will be listenig to it and hope to catch up alots later on. By the way, I am Khin Khin Fatimah and writing from Sweden. Just let you know that I don't fall into teenage's category :). cheers. Hello Scott,
