Why do adults claim to be mature but then insult and stereotype teenagers?

Question

Does anyone see the irony in claiming to be intelligent and mature while at the same time saying childish insults towards people because of their age or stereotyping people because of their age?

Answer 1

yeah i see it

and no offense

but shutup. because at some time in your life, when you were a teenager, you were just like how you just explained teens. and also wondering why adults criticize teens all the time. so i think adults saying things about teens is kind of hypoctitical. sorry take no offense in this, and im sure ill be just like this as an adult. but im just putting my opinion out there.
