Why is it that when a teenager makes a mistake?

Question

Adults act like its the worst thing that they can do and make them feel like they are the only ones in the world that made that mistake. But when adults are asked about the things they did when they were teenagers it was the same thing and they say that it being a teenager you are going to make many mistakes and that its a "growing period". So its okay for them but not for us? What does that even mean?

Answer 1

i get the same c**p from my parents to! and it annoys the heck out of me but i think we have to understand where they are coming from cause since they've already make pretty much the same mistakes we have, they know how to handle it better than we do. but we should still be aloud to fix our mistakes our way and our parents should have our backs no matter what.
