you must not use the internet very much.

Teens are only intimidating in the fact that they are the most likely to be behind the wheel of a car while not paying attention, or while lacking the skill set to truly drive defensively. They can be bad in crowds of protest because most are angry but don't know at what. Sometimes if you go in public and a group of them are feeling particularly rowdy, you may find yourself introducing them to the business end of things simply because they don't know when to back down. You can bet your bottom that if you go to a fast-food joint and see nothing but kids working it, there is some ♥♥♥♥ in your food, for real, sometimes they don't even mean to, they're just that nasty and don't care about you or your dinner. There is a general decline in the respect for human life, especially among the late teens, which is disturbing because they really haven't even encountered the real world yet, nor do they have the responsibility or weight of life on them yet. It's pitiful, but not too terrifying. Yea, teens aren't too bad. Thankfully they grow out of things after a short while.

Not at all, teenagers aren't exactly known for their maturity and can be downright cruel. This isn't restricted to teenagers either, I've met people in their mid-forties who act petty and childish. People can be nasty in general and it comes down to the individual, but teenagers even more so.

It sounds like you care about what people think of you too much. I guess you need to wonder why would it matter if others tease or think differently of you. There will always be people that like and dislike you, that's just human differences.

..otherwise if in doubt, just tell those young punks to get off your lawn!

Well judging by some of the replies you've received, maybe you're right to feel the way you do, but you had the balls to post so good on you.

Pretty sure there are just as many teenagers out there who feel the same as you do towards older adults.

Growing up in the sixties, if you misbehaved any adult would give you a clip around the ear, a lot of how you're feeling comes down to a pure lack of discipline and respect these days for others.

This is pretty normal, at least it is in Britain. When I was a teenager (I’m 26 now) the police kept moving us on from spot to spot because we were “causing alarm or distress” to members of the public - just by standing around chilling with my mates.

Most kids just want to be with their friends and mean no harm, but of course you will get that small few who will want to try and impress their friends.

Life is too short to worry about what strangers think of you.

Maybe if people stood up against the evil teenagers that beat up Arthur he wouldn't have turned evil!

It's perfectly normal to be intimidated by teenagers.


If you're a child.

... or pathetic

Well it's just LoL.
I can't say it's normal because why human must be afraid with the other human, they need to breath, eat and poo, drink and pee, do something and rest. Unless they're special like Jesus, have high INT and blessed with magic, because born half angel, or Pharaoh, grant immunity to illness and have high regeneration, but they, they're (teenagers) just normal human like you, do you have disability, do you have trauma, or are you so weak that you can't handle kids and teenagers immaturity, either of it, it's not normal especially you're older (btw it's normal to be intimidated by your parents, especially your mom).
And also not pathetic, I've friend that good at martial art, but feel intimidated whenever he nears with human baby, and for myself I feel intimidated by Unknown, not all ppl born badass or fearless, it's just, can you overcome it, you may not (unable to) remove that feeling, but can you make a breakthrough?
That's all I've said.

Normal

I'm 30 plus and ride a mountain bike to work. I have to pass a skate park which usually has teens hanging out. Everytime they will yell out. Pop a wheelie or some such thing whilst they ooze with disrespect and smuggness. One time a teen on his scooter tried to grab my bag as I passed to get a tow. I just sped up and road home like a little ♥♥♥♥♥. I would have loved to have jumped off and smashed his little neck for lacking respect but I'm to wimp.
Moral of the story. Teens intimidate me. Teens these days are vicious little ♥♥♥♥♥♥.
