What does everyone think of teenage girls these days? Personally I think there is something wrong with them.?

I am asking this in regard to that group of teenage girls who beat another teenage girl and posted it on youtube? What is wrong with young girls these days.What does everyone think of teenage girls these days? Personally I think there is something wrong with them.?
I understand what you mean. My teenage years weren't even that long ago, and yet I feel a lot has changed in that short time. Of course, many people would say- ';What about the boys?'; Is it less surprising coming from them? I think that society is degenerating full stop. The fact that we are noticing more of this behaviour coming from girls can be attributed to what I mentioned earlier- We (to some point) expected this sort of behaviour from boys, but not girls. There is still the thinking that girls should be more delicate than boys. It is a form of sexism, yet this type of thing should not be condoned, regardless of who is perpetrating it. Also, the internet revolution is pushing in our face more than it ever has been before. The fighting is not a new thing, although it may be happening more often. It is simply that we see more of it- as it is now available to everyone through mediums such as youtube, posting it around the globe for everyone to see.What does everyone think of teenage girls these days?

To assume that the beatings perpetrated by six teenage girls are indicative of the mindset of all teenage girls is silly. It's also very unkind.





If I had seen six teenage girls working as volunteers in a hospital, would that entitle me to believe that all teenage girls are angels? No, that would be silly too.





Teenage girls are a very large group of people, and like all large groups, they exhibit the full range of human character, from bad to good to just minding their own business.





Over-generalization is something we all need to watch out for when we think.

I don't think teenage girls are much different than they have been for years. Some things have changed. As an answerer above pointed out, more media coverage--news cameras seem to be everywhere these days.


But also, something else has changed, the overall standards of what is acceptable and tolerable. There is a very bad philosophy potently active currently. It pushes the idea that it is wrong to discriminate too far, to the point that it's wrong to say ANYTHING is wrong. That's an extreme. Some things ARE wrong. Hence, society is afraid of being intolerant, the latest ';deadly sin';. Hence everyone is more inclined to ';look the other way,'; so to speak.


We all have good and bad in us, and when bad behavior is downplayed, those wanting to be bad, to do bad things, feel less restraint from going ahead.
The media dumbing down society... I think this causes young girls to try and imitate and be like the people they see on scripted reality TV shows.





TV is really the catalyst of dumbing down America. It's really gotten stupid. I'm in 10th grade, and some of the stuff on there is totally ridiculous, how can it even be entertaining in the least? So much scripted drama, it sucks. :(





Some of the things on the internet influence young girls, but really... I dont' think that girls now acted the way they did even 10 years ago.
This probably doesnt have much to do with the question but I do see, more teenage girls becoming more and more materialistic, less careing for others and more all for themselves. I'm 19 but i have trouble dealing with it. When I look back at my mums days, everyone was make love not war, such an awesome loving atmosphere, why are teens so self absorbing now?? anyone agree?
It's the same thing that's wrong with many teenage boys, and people in general for that matter today: bad parenting and a lack of morals in today's society. Especially the second one, since the most perfect parents in the world can still raise a bad kid, because everybody has a mind of their own.
Hmm.. Maybe tte parents are just alittle younger than in the past. And getting younger. When I was a teen just afew years back, I literally raised myself. My mom was hardly ever around. All I had was my friends and my Brother.. who was younger than me of course.. Parents of these teens have given them to much freedom, and take no responsibility. I understand that it is hard to raise a teen and to even control a lot.. but, parents are parents and they need to take control. Also, a great influence in them is music. Have you heard the reggaeton songs lately? I'm not trying to hate on music, but.. this is crazy. I have plenty of friends who have always love clubbing and.. the clubs around my area play nothing but his music.. It implies sex. You got 12-13, 14 year olds.. maybe even younger girls out there already thinking about this and.. dman.. I just hope it doesn't go that far..
They are getting more media coverage of their usual actions.





Teenage girls have always been vicious as hell.





edit: You must be young.....you have to be young. Teenage girls have always, always been violent and have some of the sharpest tongues. This is nothing new at all.





Go research the Salem Witch Trials. See how that went down because some young girls felt like watching people die and eat up some attention.
There are more female bullies because women are now allowed to be aggressive as well as passive. Feminine aggression is an unfortunate by product of equality.


There have always been bullies. Had there been an internet, they would have posted their brutality on You Tube in the 80's, 60's, 50's, etc.
Only some of them. What about the victim? She was a teenage girl too, if they are all so awful, why do you care what happened to her?





Yes there are lots of young people who are sick in the head and acting in a really disgusting way. But it is a minority, still.





Don't generalise.
lol I think this is a complaint that has gone on for thousands of years....every older generation complaints about the next.


Cant you just see an old tribes man fussing at the young teens...';why do you feel the need to cook your food! We didn't have fire when I was young! sigh life was simpler back then...you are such a spoiled generation!';
I have such a list of what is wrong with a lot of young people now days. I think welfare plays a big role. People don't have time to be with their kids much. They have to work, ect. It's sad that kids can be so stupid.
all teenagers are suffering somewhat from the insidious effects of living in McCluhan's global village, and having the media for both mother and dad. I don't think girls anymore so than boys, though.
i blame society... haha, no, wait, i think im serious this time,


i think i do blame society, like the media and stuff... the media have a whole bunch of mindless followers wrapped around their little evil finger.
If you are interested there is a book called '; queen bees and wannabes'; The film mean girls is based on it.





There is another book called '; big fat bIttch'; that describes why girls can be so nasty towards each other.
I have two teenage girls myself so obviously, I don't think they're all bad. They are just as shocked at the beating of the girl in Florida as nearly everybody else is.
I think it could be caused by pollution in the air and in the foods we eat. It has affected proper mental development of young kids.
There isn't anything 'wrong' with teenage girls that isn't also 'wrong' with teenage boys. ';Spoiled brats'; says it all.
girls are hormonal and catty and mean...every girl is but most handle it...those girls apparently cant.
There are a few girls. Not all girls. Hello??????? McFly??
I think the problem lies within the government and the psychological community. Did you know that if a group of teen girls attacks an adult or one teen girl attacks her mother or grandmother, the adults are supposed to just allow this to take place and not defend themselves or they can be prosecuted for defending themselves against a minor. This happened to a very good friend of mine, after her daughter repeatedly assaulted her on many occassions. They are expected to call the police, start their childs life out with a criminal record, and pay fines and pay for court ordered counseling for their teen, while they themselves are hounded and monitored by social services under the suspicion of child abuse, what parent in their right mind would willingly go for this. If a parent has problems with a teen, they can't put them in check by putting the fear of God in them and whipping their butts, it is illegal and considered child abuse. They can't forcibly ground a child because if the child resists this grounding and the parent uses physical force to prevent a teen from going to a crack house and prostituting himself/herself out, it is considered child abuse. The courts monitor the behavior of parents with troubled teens by ordering them to put them in psychological counseling, and when that happens all power is removed from the parent and put into the hands of the child, The parents are forced to stand by helplessly, while these doctors drug their child with all forms of drugs that in many cases cause irreversible physical and mental problems in their child, and sometimes even death, because if the parent resists it is considered neglect. Kids today aren't stupid, they are predictable, and will use whatever means necessary to get what they want, because they don't understand what is in their best interest. The problem is that teens are being led to believe they can blame everything on their parents, and are not being held accountable for their own actions, until they commit some horrible atrocity. The parents are told by the government that they are responsible for the conduct of their children, yet they have taken all of the parents power to discipline away, under threats of being incarcerated as their children will be if they are not disciplined, and also under the threat of having their child taken away and put into foster care where they just might really be tormented with abuse. How does a parent win under these rules? The government has taken away the parents power to protect their teen from themselves, teens are children to, they are very influencable, and they are just like little kids when it comes to having their right to be free to do what they want, but most aren't experienced or responsible enough to do or understand what is in their best interest. Now the government is promoting sexual premiscuity in teens with all this gay rights crap, and when a parent attempts to teach their child that sex is not the issue in a relationship, but a loving partnership with wholesome values is, they are threatened by the source with being prosecuted for discrimination. Mark my words, teen pregnancy, abortions, child molestation, and single family households are going to skyrocket in the next generation. That doesn't even touch the fact that violence is often portrayed as cool or in by the motion picture industry, and by many of their highschool peers. Why do you think so many kids idolize gangsters and prison types by wearing their pants down to their knees? They think it is cool. I'll tell you what, if I see a group of teens walking down the street these days, I do everything in my power to avoid them, because they are all unpredictable and more likely to attack me than a group of adults, the biggestfear is that I could be prosecuted for attempting to protect myself if they chose to attack me for no reason other than because they think it is cool and fun. ;-(
why on earth does that give you reason to hate all teenage girls?





I think there is something wrong with people called Ted.





I am saying this in regard to that serial killer Ted Bundy.





see the problem?





*edit*





';What is wrong with young girls these days.';





and also





';What does everyone think of teenage girls these days? Personally I think there is something wrong with them.?';





It has nothing to do with their age or gender, it is to do with them being bullies. Just as Ted Bundy is not a murderer because his name is Ted.





seriously, I thought it was clear enough to begin with!





trash talk on the web is like angry letters to a tv station-it means nothing in the real world so you cant compare ranting on the internet to the real world behaviour of your youth, people are nothing like they appear online.
