Are teens really that impressionable?

Question

everyone always says how all teens are impressionable. wtf? do you agree? why, why not?

Answer 1

i think it depends on the person them-self

what you saying is true in that it is a common miss-conception about teens but it is not true of them all i know some that you can not put anything over and others that i could convince that a used condom was worth $5000 so it is really up to the person them-self as to are they true or not  

Answer 2

I dont really think we're taht impressionable, but  think (I dont know f this is the right use for the word) that we're kind of lost in life and we're trying to find someone to follow, someone to look up to and try to be like because we admire them, I tink itn that sense we are.

Answer 3

i dont think so.

i think younger kids are much more impressionable then we are.

i think most of us are pretty set in our ways and quite stubborn lol

Answer 4

Well yeah, because they do everything everybody else does.

Answer 5

I think all are (in there own way) ... It all depends on the person... People from time to time i dont care how perfect you think you are will follow a trend or make a choice because a school mate or friend condones it. Honestly i think as long as you know the simple rights from wrong your ok... but it doesnt hurt to add a lil spice every once and a while. I say let your hair down and be silly enjoy being a kid (just be smart about it) you have the rest of your life to be an adult!

Answer 6

Answer 9

I don't think they're as impressionable as they might have been a decade or two ago. Things have changed and more people have experienced things and there are more examples telling them whats wrong and whats right and how they should be. But with that being said some are still pretty impressionable.  

Answer 10

I think it depends on the teen. My brother was very impressionable when he was a teenager, but I wasn't as much. I think I still was a little bit cos peer pressure is quite tough to completely overcome at that age, but I was much less impressionable than my brother at the same age.
