Now A Days, Most Teenagers Need A Reality Check
I am a teenager and I believe that most teenagers don't believe in anything except for doing whatever they want. This is further encouraged by YOLO, etc. I believe in making something of myself before I leave this world. Perhaps improving life for humans? When I talk to other teens about this they dismiss it as 'weird' or 'strange'. Many teens just smoke weed, drink alcohol, and act stupid because they want to do whatever they want before they die(YOLO). Reality check or is it normal?

Very true. The majority of teenagers don't think about their future, or the good of society, what they can contribute to the world. They have dumbed themselves down to fit the new 'ideals' shown in today's mindless, meaningless entertainment world.

Today, many people, particularly teenagers, feel that they are entitled. They expect that everything in life will be handed to them without any effort, thus they don't put any effort into life. I find that most teenagers today find intellectual pursuits to be frivilous, and they would rather sit on tumbr all day looking at memes than use their brains, improve themselves or help others. There is no desire for self-improvement anymore. I can't even remember the last time I had an intellectual discussion or debate with someone in my own age group (though technically I'm not considered a teenager anymore). No one wants to think, they want to party 24/7.

Now, I'm not saying that people shouldn't be able to enjoy themselves. I believe that as long as it isn't harming anyone, people should be able to amuse themselves however they please. But, today's teenagers seem to only be concerned with whose older sibling is bringing the booze this weekend, or how much pot they can buy today. It's actually kind of tragic.
