If I could just give you one piece of advice, which you probably already know (you seem very smart!): You may be a “geek” now, but 5 or 10 years from now, NONE of that matters. You’re smart and have a good personality and that is what really matters. Teen are SO superficial! You will be so much more successful than all those “popular” losers!
Another thing I remember was our worlds seemed to revolve around the opposite sex. Who you liked, who liked you, who likes who, etc. was what we spent the majority of our time thinking about. Hormones are out of control at that age. What do you think about girls/dating/sex, etc. at your age?
Your intelligence and personality gives me hope that the “next generation” isn’t just a bunch of Britney Spears-loving, MTV watching idiots!! I’m still pretty young but when I look at today’s teens I can help but think how spoiled and superficial they are! **
The cliques in my school mainly consist of the geeks, the ‘wiggas’ the ‘rebels’ the ‘stoners’.
I persoanlly think that dating, and having girlfriends is fine, but sex should probably saved until your a little older. You do not need more teenage pregnancys.
So, with everything going on in the world right now, what do you think your future will be like?
What do you look forward to most about adulthood?
What do you think you’ll miss the most about being a kid?

This is less a question than it is a rant, but man, how do you do it? Just getting through a day…
I was a male teenager. I wouldn’t do that again for the world.
If you ever find it in your heart to excuse the hijack and are having a bad day, just trust me, it gets better.
Y’know, in retrospect, this puppy should probably go into the "Ask an Old Guy (32) thread.
Oh, yeah, I do have one question. You seem to be intelligent, so maybe you’re disqualified from answering, and I can’t remember, but why are you teenaged males so damned loud on the bus?
Hey, you kids, get off my lawn…

I teach high school, I’m not quite 30 yet and it is funny to see how some teachers have no clue on how to deal with teenagers. Some teachers do not like them, and many have no memory of what it was like to sit in the smaller desk.
I usually deal with high school students almost like adults, or at least give them a chance to act like adults. Asking students nicely to do something often works, and if I have to ask again, I remind them that I asked nicely the first time.
If you are still in middle school, it would be surprising if any teachers were like this because many eighth graders are still making up their minds about if they are trying to be children or adults. Many middle school students change their minds every other day. (Though not all, and I believe that you are not like that.) Usually, things get better in tenth or eleventh grade and I hope you find school more enjoyable.

What would you like to change most in your teachers?
My only real teacher who would underestimate me was my science teacher, I do not really know why she did that to me. Didn’t make me feel too confident in Science.
I would like my teachers to do more ‘fun’ assignments, not ‘fill in the blank’ worksheets or “This poem must contain these words. It can only be 6 lines, make it in stanza format, it must rhyme, and do it in haiku format*” type assignments.

Questions for a teenage boy:
Why do you leave the knife in the butter/jam/Vegemite? ALL THE EFFING TIME?
Why are you content to wear the same pair of sox for days on end even though their are heaps of others in the ‘sock basket’?
How have you developed selective sight/deafness to such an exquisite artform?
Why are farting games still so cool when you are 14?
How can you walk when you have your jeans hanging down near your knees?
There’s more, but that’ll do for now!
So, like, why do teenagers today, like, keeping saying a certain word in, like, every sentence. It’s, like, awfully anoying. Does it bother you too?

Answer( to all)
I like pie. I think I’ll go watch WWE RAW now, and afterwards I think I’ll punch myself for no reason at all.
Hope that helps.

Yeah, that’s how my boys generally respond to such questions too.
Teenage boys are a completely different species to the ‘rest’ of us.
http://www.vegemite.com.au/ will give you all the details.
Ignore the heathens who will suggest to you it is the sperm of the devil, it’s not. It’s glorious, magnificent, salty, just right in the morning, black, ozzy, tarry, food of the gods.
Get some and try it before coming to a conclusion.
Is it avialiable in canada?
The taste of Vegemite is indescribable. It’s definitely not a cross between chicken and veal. It doesn’t taste like anything you will ever have encountered before.
Hope that helps.
(oh, btw, my lads are 14, 16 and 18).
Whose your favuorite super hero?
