Ashleigh Owens Br. Tom Am. Lit/Comp – Period C 4 March 2008 Why Can’t Adults.. When it comes to teenagers, why can’t adults be more understanding and reasonable in regards to our needs and wants?

It seems as if adults and teenagers might perhaps be a different species.

I say this because of the numerous amounts of differences and less of the same aspects these two type of people seem to have. It’d be superior if both adults and teenagers could relate to each other, not only on a spiritual but emotional level as well.

To have this, priorities, maturity, relationships, and technology have a huge influence when it comes to teenagers and adults.

Priorities for teens seem to be less important to adults, and it’s also the other way around.

I just can’t comprehend why these two different people can’t have the same thought of what to do with their life and how they choose to live it. I believe one of the reasons that different decisions are made in relation to these two people, is that when it comes to adults, they’re not as limited as to what they can say or do.

As for teens, who don’t have much of a say because they’re still seen as your typical child of the youth.

Teens seem to value the non-important things in life, such as going out with friends, buying the next coolest item, keeping up with the latest trends, or trying to fit in.

As for adults, they seem to worry more about things that could affect their life for the best or worst, such as jobs, payments, transportation, shelter, and other essential elements in life.

Also, I think teenagers put themselves in situations where it makes them look rather undeveloped, juvenile, and at times, full of angst.

With this childishness it’s easier to say that an adult is more refined in the field of maturity.

This right here is an extremely obvious point to as of why there’s such a difference between teens and adults.

It’s also a reason why adults can’t even take us teenagers seriously which causes more than enough problems as to when it comes to trust and expectations.

In addition, another problem among teens and adults is the use of technology.

It seems as if teenagers have more of an advantage when it comes to technology since that’s what the majority of teenagers use.

You can’t see the youth today without an i-pod, a cell phone of which their texting, and other up to date electronics.

It’s as if it’s taking of their lives.

Adults probably find it hard to relate to teenagers on this type of basis.

Lastly, and example I chose to as of what might have an effect on the relationship and differences between a teen and adult, is the social life which these two people are involved in.

You’d find teens more involved in peer pressure and doing anything to just get themselves into an accepted position.

Meanwhile, adults will find themselves around more mature and serious individuals who’d rather be in situations where they can be more independent and knowledgeable of what’s going on and how it might affect others.

As an adult you seem to know more about life, what it has to offer, and the choices you’ll have to make that’ll either help you in a negative or positive way.

For teens, the lack of thinking before carrying out their actions results in a very bad way.

In conclusion, I’ve realized how adults might not be as understanding to the teenage race.

They’re so much to compare on contrast when it comes to these specimens.

It all depends on the people they choose to interact with, technology, maturity, and priorities. I can say that these are the things that would make an Adult differ so much from a teenager to a point where it’d be impossible for any of them to comprehend with one another.

you might want to put the word 'a' between different and species in your second sentence... You should also probably remove the word It'd and just write it would. It would make your argument more clear. Other than that it sounds pretty good so far. 1205004450

I think you used superior in the wrong way. Superior means something is higher or better class in comparisn to something. Maybe you could say it would be easier if both adults and teenagers could relate to each other, instead of superior. Other than that word, you seem to have really good ideas and conclusions about parents and teens, good luck! 1205028896 - I think your essay is comeing along really well, I think you really grasped the idea of parents and teenagers and why they don't get along. Although it looks great, one suggestion I do have is to add on to it. It looks a little short, also make your three elements clearer! Again, nice job! 1205353714
