I don't understand teenagers. I'm a high school biology teacher and so I'm around stereotypical beauty, etc., all day long. There is this one particular girl that is super nice, really smart and tries so hard, and is also incredibly beautiful, but doesn't have many friends and is sometimes picked on by a group of girls who aren't really "popular," but think they are wonderful and are just mean. Years ago, I saw one of those girls' dates walk up to her and start talking and dancing with her, so maybe that's why she is so unnecessarily hated by that group. She was crying today over them.

If I worked at a high school at least I'd get paid for working with teenagers. Where I work I don't get paid for dealing with the teenagers with wrinkles. Bitchy little sods. So over it and they are not even bitching about me!

I think entry level jobs should have a dress code. I get tired of telling newbies that flip flops are not appropriate to wear in a warehouse environment. We don't have a dress code other than 'clothing appropriate to the job' which is too vague for teenagers.

There are SO MANY FAMILIES struggling right now to make ends meet, many unemployed parents that would gladly take just about any job to support their family, & yet employers are still hiring TEENAGERS! sure some do work hard, but not many, most of them do not really give a shit about doing a good job, they would rather stand around and act immature while the GROWN UPS do ALL the work!

Funny enough the older "more experienced" women who work under me are the most catty, and immature people ever. I have teenagers with more job sense and responsibility than these 2.

I put up with disrespectful teenagers all day. Some days I am lucky enough to meet their parents. Student to me …. Can’t I even ask a Mother-fucking question? His mother explained to me that it was fault because I wasn’t doing my job by answering his question (he was not asking real questions he was just being an ass in front of the class). I then get to come home watch the news, read the papers and hear all the teacher bashing that has been going on for the last 6-months. My confession is I want to say SCREW “F”ing you…to the kids, the parents and all the politicians!!!

A week and a day as a high school counselor and I feel like I am the one stuffed inside the locker.I can work and feel grateful for my career counseling people living on the street,addicted to all substances imaginable,survivors of rape,violence and torture,with profound physical and intellectual disabilities,with bi-polar disorder or schizophrenia.I cannot feel the same way with these teenagers and the staff of this suburban high school.I've recieved more respect and better dispositions from starving homeless people trying to give up crack!

I was having a conversation with my wealthy boss the other day about teenagers having cars. I mentioned that my cousin made her son get a job and save up for a car, and whatever amount he had saved, they matched it. My boss looked at me like it was the first time he'd ever heard that concept and sheepishly admitted he bought his daughter a brand new car when she turned 16. I think he realized for a minute how spoiled his kids are. It made me smile.

Im 41 years old, going to nursing school, newly divorced with three teenagers. I have been aCNA for years but no one is hiring in my area, and today I was told I am overqualified to work at the freaking burger king on my corner. What do they want me to do..beg...ill do it...
