Anyone else tired of...???

Question

Teens with low self-esteem posting themselves up on yahoo and fishing for compliments? Also, I love those, "am I fat?" questions.

Answer 1

Yeah they're right up there with "Could I be pregnant?"

Answer 2

I was, gonna say: Just give me a pillow, 'cause they put me to sleep.

But: I answered one of them one restless night. Then I wondered, "Why did I do that?"

Answer 3

Well even though it is so sad that there are so many sad, depressed, and angry teens, at least they are using Yahoo as an outlet and maybe some of our ordinary words will turn their day into an extraordinary one.

I have a teenager and she just sickens me with her "poor-poor me" stories.  I just don't get it.  This generation has so much to be grateful for and yet they seem to walk around like walking clouds all the time with no hope, aspirations or dreams and then they want everybody to jump on their pitty-party train.  I'm sorry, life is way too short.

On the other hand, they are the lost generation.  Think about it, how many programs are available to teenagers?  Most summer camps cut off at like age 12.  Then there are many jobs that won't hire them because of lack of work experience.  Then all they hear is negative comments.  Then around 18-19 society dubs them adults so they have to instantly figure out how to survive in this world and most don't have a clue.   Then everybody just gets sick of them so very few people have the patience to help.

Answer 4

they are awkward so am i. teens use yahoo answers like drugs to sooth their agony and pain.

Answer 5

Enh, boredom much?

Yeah, but I can understand them. They have nothing better to do so they just post a million questions asking strangers if they're "pretty enough".

I've never asked those questions myself.

But I've sometimes asked a question that I pretty much already know the answer to.

And I know that's equally as stupid.
