Serious: What is happening to our countries' tweenagers?

Question

10-13 year olds.

-Nowadays, i see lots of tweens talking about "love" and saying things like "should i break up with him/he's cheating on me". And listening to crappy music and wearing all this make-up. And saying "you're so cute" to people who are older then them!

-I hang out with my friends, and they have there tween siblings and we hang out with them, and that's alllll they talk about.

-Also, what's up with all the electronics and hot phones? Seriously, do they need that? I mean, yeah kind of, but I'm talking about $200+ electronics and touch screen phones with navigation and all that other useless apps for kids.

-And then music with f*kced up lyrics; s*x/drugs/money. When I'm at the store, i see at least 2 tweens walking with an iPod and singing-along with those lyrics.

Why is this happening? Is it just them individually, or are they trying to be with the in-crowd?

(I'm just wondering because it's just really weird and very very ANNOYING when you see all these tweens talking about love and all this other stuff right in front of your face everyday)

Answer 1

Blame the MTV!

Answer 2

As soon as they got the label of "tweens" that gave them license to act this way.

This is an awkward age, but rather than skip it, we all should go through it, and I daresay that we all survived it!

Media, peers, media, peers.  That is what happened.  Add parents who are afraid to say no to their kids to this media raised group - and you've got it.

Horrid, isn't it?

Answer 3

i'm a teenager and it gets on my freaking nerves

cause i feel that i am young and i have my whole life to find love but right now i want to be a kid and have fun!

no i disagree with the phone things

i need my phone, computer,i pod, psp, xbox 360

it's entertaining & it's the new trend and the way we live its 2008

the music and culture has a lot to do with it

if they didn't show this on tv then  teens wouldn't be acting like that

i deffinitly don't act like that though

Answer 4

Its the media

they all just wanna be their favorite pop/rock/rap... WHATEVER stars

and the gadget thing? well its just everywhere aint it?

I cant understand the whole boo hoo breakups thing and "love"

For dangs sank enjoy your teen without all that shitt

they have the rest of their lives to be miserable adults why start earlier than u need to?
