as a 30 year old I don't give two shits how old you are, if you say ignorant things I will call you on it.

I'm probably going to get shot at from both sides, but this is an example where I think a workable age verification would be useful.

Most folks over 25 probably don't have a problem with YOLO. It's not shoved in their face constantly (which I presume happens with younger folks because they mention that often.)

Most folks under 18 probably are blaming the older generation for how messed up the planet is. I'm at the tail end of the baby boom and I can guarantee I've consistently tried to make the world a better place. It took over 50 years to realize I was/am powerless to make almost any change, much less meaningful.

And there are issues (copyright is probably one of them) where the partisanship is going to be divided by age.

I've seen clueless posts from young people, and the same from older. Also, same from the South and (damn) Yankees.

Reddit needs a complete overhaul. The structure worked when it was small, but with the huge user base it's going the way of 4chan, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and so on. The people who are really getting the best Reddit experience are the fake AMA's that don't explicitly ask for money, but throw up sob stories that dupe the kind hearted to donate.

Yes. Yes it is.

I apologize wholeheartedly for being unable to speed up my age until I am mature enough to have an opinion. Until then however, I'm just going to sit here at the bottom of every thread.

Hey everyone! Let's scream "maturity" by telling people who are young to shut the fuck up! They'll certainly see how much more mature we are with our cursing skills and our ability to not deal with what we dislike!

TheRedGerund · 2 months

It doesn't matter that I'm mature for my age.

It doesn't matter that I don't use the words swag or yolo.

It doesn't matter that I value my education and life.

It comes down to not generalizing people, and realizing that sometimes a joke becomes a stereotype.

i know this comment wont get read but just because we are fifteen doesn't mean we are ignorant assholes i realize that yes there are a lot of teenagers like that but we feel the same way you do about them. im tired of everyones bullshit about how teenagers are ruining the internet. and that reddit belongs to you. i dont know how you got the upvotes but here have a downvote from me

ChronicLegend · 2 months

I'm 16...Are we cool people of reddit?

Rutgrr · 2 months

I hate to be THAT guy but...

You're constantly assuming all 15 year olds listen to pop, shout out YOLO, don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" (as well as "they're," "their," and "there"), mindlessly believe in whatever their parents tell them OR mindlessly rebel for the point of rebelling, claim to love weed despite smoking it once/never, misuse memes (one of the seven deadly sins according to /r/AdviceAnimals) and so on. Basically, you're assuming all 15 year olds are annoying preppy brats, which I think is unfair.

I've been on Reddit for half a year. I am the antithesis of the average 15 year old. I don't watch reality TV, I don't listen to pop, I know the difference between the grammatical homophones, I try to make informed opinions, and so on, and so forth.

One thing most people don't realize is that the moronic 15 year olds everyone hates don't go on reddit. They go on 9gag, and now FunnyJunk as well. They go on DamnLOL. All those horrible sites.

Therefore, all the people complaining about "OMG SO MANY 15 YEAR OLDS ON REDDIT BAN THEM ALL LOLOLOLOLO" can just suck on a fat one.

EDIT: Inb4 "SO BRAVE".

That is a ridiculously over-generalized post. There are plenty of teenage twats out there that are plenty bad, but not all of them (especially the ones on reddit,) are that brain-dead.

Jonny_Watts · 2 months

When will people realize that blaming the younger generation doesn't do anything? Will anyone realize that regardless of how old you are, people hated your generation? In the 80s.... people did drugs and fucked shit up and listened to music deemed terrible by their parents. In the 70s... people did drugs and fucked shit up and listened to music that their parents hated. Don't even get me started about when rock n roll came into play in the 50s. People will always hate on the younger generation. It's like a cycle of life. Get over yourself.

JennaLicous11 · 2 months

I find this offensive. I'm 15, and I've learned a lot from reddit and think that you people are all awesome. Guess not all of you....

AA72ON · 2 months

I wonder if 15 year olds are so retarded because of the generation raising them. Anyways, age doesn't mean maturity. My 23 year old sister can look smart and badass to reddit, but in reality she's a heroin addict that's full of whiny first world problem-high school teenager bull shit. My friends 14 year old brother who was wrongfully accused of molesting his cousin at 13 can go to jail for a week, have the truth come out and get let out with an a formal apology from the county, realize that the things that have happened to him in his like weren't fixable and come out the other end one of the most mature teens I've ever met. Meanwhile his racist/homophobic mother can blow up and scream at him everyday for the littlest thing. There's nothing wrong with 15 year olds. There's something wrong with adults that treat then like children and don't allow them the chance to act like an adult. I'm not attacking you in any way I realize this was a joke but as a 16 year old this is a soft spot for me. I'm just saying that people font give my age group the chance to act like an adult because they're expecting them to act like children.

SquidManHero · 2 months

I have experienced such atrocities in everyday life, like the kids with the flat brimmed hats, athletic socks in 80 degree weather, and horrible attitude to adults. I live with kids like that, for I happen to be 16. I despise children who see themselves as better than everyone else, and I cannot wait until they get into the real world and are put in their place.

Gouhadouken · 2 months

hey, thats not nice. as a 21 year old with 3 teenaged sibling, youre just making things worse. im just barely out of my teens, so i remember how often people discredit young adults because of their age, and i remember how bullshit it was. sure, teenagers can be annoying as fuck sometimes, and its easy to blame their actions on hormones, which can make them seem less than serious. but its serious to them. in that stage of life, every little thing is a huge deal, and most of the time even when they get older, theyll remember it as being a big deal, even if it wasnt. so while you might think that its ok to tell 15 year olds to shut the fuck up, youre actually doing a good bit of damage, so cut it out. save teen-hate for the little shits who deserve it, and quit stereotyping.

tomius · 2 months

twdevil · 2 months

why are we 15 year olds attacked here on reddit? most of us keep to ourselves exactly because of shit like this, and those that don't and try to act smart are just fucking stupid we are too fucking young to act smart, goddamn I hate this generation

fedex_drop_box · 2 months

I think that this post is an unnecessary generalization of a ceartin age group, therefore i am offended and you will recieve a down vote. Good day to you sir

nightmare4ever19 · 2 months

I am 15, however I HATE MY GENERATION. Constant use of "YOLO" or "swag", the "duck face", stupid over-priced clothing, dumb facebook posts, I understand how annoying my generation can be. Though, there are people who are not like these people. I know a lot of people my age who are very nice and not stupid. So, just because most 15 year olds are stupid, spoiled, mean, rude, and overall horrible people, doesn't mean they all are.

Hamburginator · 2 months

This post perfectly outlines why young people are faced with prejudice daily. If you took your head out from under your ignorance rock and judged young people fairly, you would see that we are not all bad. At least hate on specific fifteen year olds as in "Dear people who act like Amanda Beiber" or "Dear YOLO enthusiasts." instead of firing a scattergun of hatred into a crowd of people who don't all deserve it. TL;DNR, Fuck the OP

I think lot of Redditors think this site is a secret underground club, where you need to share opinions. Do peoples tells you to hate something, they hate it. Hivemind. Look at facebook, they don't shove opinions down your throat, like Reddit do. And yet you claim Facebook to be the source of all evil.

I'm barely over 16, and I have to say, I really am quite sick of kids even my age or younger who are idiots. I really don't like much of the current generation of young people now, especially the ones who just need to STFU.

[deleted] · 2 months

Because all 15 year olds are the same? I am pretty sure a lot of them are nicer than some older men and women.

bigcitydreams1018 · 2 months

I was excited to see something about my age. My hopes were up. Suddenly, I realized what that man was saying to me. My heart cracked. A flood of tears came gushing out my eyes. My self esteem was gone.

Just kidding. But really. Age is but a number, my friend.

Something is wrong with you if you let children and teenagers ruin your day and lose faith in humanity. As if we all weren't dumb asses in some way when we were younger, and if you disagree, you probably haven't grown up yet.
