The idea of teenagers as a group took off in the 1940s courtesy of ad agencies. Before then, a person was either a child (0-12) or an adult (13-100+).
Hell I’m lucky I didn’t get shot when I was a teenager.
Is that the Royal “We”?
Either way it makes no grammatical sense.
In Africa, the revolutionaries recruit children 12 and up to fight and the younger fighters in the 15-16 year old range are the most dangerous and vicious fighters they have because they are grown up enough to every bit as much damage as adults, they are more violent and they have less inhibitions than older fighters
We is teenagers, and we is illiterate.
A lot of our troops overseas are teenagers. Teenagers can be as deadly and dangerous as anyone if that is their job or inclination.
someone said years ago that if that screaming red faced angry baby could he would try to kill you...
Teenagers can be some of the most dangerous criminals.....In my professional experience, MOST teenagers are the most dangerous criminals.
Geez, can’t this guy speak right, it’s “We Be Teenagers.”
is we thugs?
His mistake was in answering/acknowledging. In your house after breaking in is an automatic death sentence in my book. Shoot and then ask questions of the bodies if you want. Black, white, yellow, red, brown ---- I don't care.
So, let me get this straight: ‘homeboy’ busts into my house in the middle of the night with his “crew”, threatens my family, wants to take my stuff, and I am denied my right to self-defense because he “is a teenager”?! Nuts to that! You do the crime, you pay the price, boy or not.
For perverse reasons, most states hide the criminal careers of “teens” (up to 18 years old) not only while the perps are less than 18, but seal their records after passing 18. When pranks and petty foolishness were the extent of the offenses, maybe this serves some purpose, in not ruining a kid for life. But this now extends to serious crimes, to the extent that offending while a teen is advantageous, and gangs have kids do their dirty work. Punishment for youth offenders also tends to be light to non-existent.
Denying the public and even juries an accurate picture of who a criminal is and has been works against the public interest, and should be stopped by legislation.
Teenagers are old enough to know right from wrong. If you don’t know that kicking in someone’s door and invading their home is a crime you may not live to be 21.
I used to work with juvies. Horrid creatures. Especially the girls.
most of America’s fighting men in wars past have been teenagers. Those people in the Olympics.. usually teenagers.
Where did this idea come from that teenagers are helpless? heck they are the strongest and most dangerous of all !

I’m in Georgia and I don’t understand how they had enough of their lungs left to get words out?
