Teen Potential or Teen Crash?

I remember being younger and being so excited to be a teen. I watched those movies of teens living the high life, having fun and being happy, and those personas did exactly to me what we discussed in class- i wanted to be just like that "pretty and popular girl" in the movie.

But then I also have follow the generalization that teens are trouble and though I am a teen, i also carry a negative look upon them as a whole.

Its a shame that teens are so often looked down upon as troublesome or immature or what not. For me its a disadvantage because i feel that i hold a lot of responsibility. I keep myself engaged in a lot of activites in and out of school and i take care of a lot of things for myself. It just doesn't seem fair to me when adults treat me like i'm some delinquent (spelling?) when i know that i'm very responsible and independent. Teens party, but so do adults, Many adults are a lot less responsible than given credit for and many teens are a lot more responsible than given credit for. So maybe in a nation of democracy and majority rules, majority rules isn't so great.
