And I certainly don't reject my parents ideas, our political beliefs are almost identical.

(Anonymous) 2012-05-06 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)really? that's not the reaction I ever got when I was a teenager, that pretty much stopped after I turned 14. I was actually expected to start thinking like an adult now. Idk I think if you still have this sort of childish appearance or if your parents have trouble realizing that you've grown up, then you might have that kind of reaction, but I was taught that by the time you're 16 you should be able to think like a responsible adult.
I'm pretty bad with articulating such stuff, but I'll try anyway. As much as I remember I didn't 'reject' my parents ideas either, heck they played a huge part in shaping my opinions, but I did pretty much everything I could to get out of under their wing, prove I'm not a kid y'know. I think that's what the other anon meant by 'rejecting'.
You start to rebel from your status as a kid and the two most common extremes are: "whohoo look how much alcohol I'm drinking, totally not a kid anymore!" or "look how intelligent and aloof I am, I am definitely not a kid anymore" There are shades of grey of course, but society loves to generalize and honestly, if you look at your high school class, you can more or less identify who belongs to which group.
Personally, I chose the intelligent and aloof part mainly because I'm introverted and I thought goths looked really cool. Luckily, I grew out of it... man I was such a poser xD

I agree with that, but I guess that just leaves me wondering what the desirable behavior for a teenager is. If one extreme is bad, and the other extreme is bad, and the shades of gray are just shades between two bad things, which I would also assume is bad, than how should I act as to not be an obnoxious teenager? I disagree that my classmates fall into them, though, most of them are verrrrry sycophantic, giggly, and and whatnot. My group of acquaintances (who have been seriously getting on my nerves lately) are the self-identified "nerds" of the school, and they're not really either of those things- they consider themselves far to good are *~pure~* to go out and party and shit, but they're hardly aloof, cynical types- they're the types that think shouting "PENIS!!" loudly is a really, really good time. They're just as cliquey as the more popular and more edgy kids, even if they don't realize it. They're also very buddy-buddy with all their teachers, calling them by their first names and stuff. I'm not really like that- not because I think being friends with my teachers is "uncool" or something, I'm just reeeeally shy.
Also, most of my teen angst isn't about wanting to NOT be a kid, it's angst about how much I love being a kid and how that's all about to change and being a grown-up sounds really difficult and I have no idea what goes in a briefcase and a;sldkfn;alskdnfalksnd :P
idk I guess this comment is just coming off like I hate everyone at my school, which probably makes me sound like a complete angsty teenager more than anything. The cliqueishness has just really been getting under my skin lately as well as the staff's lack of professionalismour English teacher seems completely unaware that we have an AP in a week, for example, and my chem teacher thinks chem class is an appropriate time to go on rants about the stupid poor people who need to get jobs and survival of the fittest and stuff) and idk, just watching people make fun of other people behind their backs, as well as the way the kids at my school treat the kids in special education, is really upsetting to me, and it bothers me that that's turning me into an obnoxious Holden Caufield type.
