    Surely all of these problems would go away if teenagers would simply act rationally and do as they’re told. Has anyone tried explaining this to the teenagers?

      Yesterday I heard a nurse/carer in an oldfolks home earnestly saying “I have a lot of interactions with teenagers, they literally don’t care about anything” 🤦

      Seems ageist myopia is not uncommon. Do people just completely forget their teenage years? I’m in my 40s and I know kids these days are more anxious, and facing wild times, but otherwise they’re basically the same as we were at that age.

      They’ve tried, but nobody speaks their language. Unfortunately even Google translate and ai have difficulty with new stuff as they haven’t been able to incorporate it into their models as yet.

      The big fear, from a technical standpoint is that by the time that is done, they will no longer be teenagers and will be able to speak the common tongue. By then, well all be dead from cycle accidents on social media.
