I don’t know anyone over 20 afraid of teenagers. My 85 year grandpa got into a fight with one the other day. And won!
WIN.
totally agree!
*thumbs up*
Yep. I was more afraid of teenagers at age 10 than now. Since I had one in the house, they are children to me.
your grandpa RULES!!!!!!!!!
I second that
Epic win. Epic win.
None of those teenagers are scary. You’re all wusses.
Any woman want a real man, look me up.
Haha! Retard. ^
Oh baby! Your knuckle-draggin’ Tarzan talk make Jane all hot and bothered…not.
Look you up? Through what? The name “Todd”?
Haha! Snap!
Compensate much?
How appropriate he’s named “The Todd”.
haha…nice
Scrubs WIN!
Yes. This makes you seem so attractive.
I don’t get it.
Neither do I.
I don’t fear teenagers. I despise them. They act like they are retarded while they think it’s cool. I don’t get it. ;b
Not all of us do that. Don’t group everyone together just because they are the same age – I’m 18, and I can promise you I don’t think it’s cool to act retarded.
I do
Well aren’t you quite the stereotypical ass?
No.. stereotypical ‘old guy’, according to the graph;)
HEY YOU ROTTEN KIDS! GET OFF MY LAWN!
endorses Clint Eastwood at any age.
For real.
Little bastards!
Slow down!
(shakes fist)
Not all of us are like that. Despise teenagers, eh? Well that just makes me angry… and you won’t like me when I’m angry…
Oh, you’re one of the “replace ‘afraid of’ with ‘hate’ to not seem like a wussy” guys.
“I’m not afraid of spiders, I hate them!”
Yeah, sure.
ur a butthead, I’m 13 and I don’t act like a ‘retard’ (and by the way that is very insulting to people who are mentaly disabled) I am like a little kid becuz I want to have funn and don’t people say don’t grow up to fast? well we are takin their advice and making the most of our childhood while we still can
Its fun to act retarted, your missing out
I disagree. I was TERRIFIED of teenagers as a kid, but my dad, who is 70, can break up a drunken teenage fight with perfect ease.
Similar to what I was going to say. Teenagers are scary when you’re little, so this graph should have a 0-9 range with about 40% scaryness. After that, I think it should level out until about 60, when it should increase slightly.
Come to think of it, I don’t think this graph was very well thought out. :-/
haha after 60 it should go up? My dad is 70! I’ve never seen someone less scared of teenagers… And it should be 100 percent for little kids, if I was anything to go by as a child.
Get off my lawn!
damn right
As a teenager myself, I find most of them pretty darned scary.
I second that. I’m fourteen and I think teenagers are terrifying.
This is wrong. I’m a teenager and I’m afraid of teenagers.
Today’s teenagers are such a bunch of pussies. They all whine and complain about how no one cares about them and how harsh the world is. They wear their jeans below their buttcrack. They think it’s alright to walk around with their bangs looking like a bad Donald Trump comb-over topped with a big obnoxious barette bow. They inhabit the malls, the fast food restaurants, and movie theaters like rats inhabit the sewer. They act all tough and badass smoking their little cigarettes but the minute they see their mommy pull up to pick them up, they toss it to the side and act proper. Pathetic.
Like you never did the same? I highly doubt that.
Meh, not all of ‘em. I know plenty who are nice, but many are doofuses.
I dunno, I find myself irresistibly drawn to patronize teenagers, instead of fearing them.
“I imagine you have this all nailed down, have a perfect vision of the world and are completely right. You let me know how that works out for you, mkay?”
I’d argue that teenagers are probably the most afraid of teenagers.
yer almost right…pre-teens are most afraid of teenagers.
Teenagers should only be scary to the very young or very old.
I personally choose to interpret “fear of teenagers” as an objective genitive rather than a subjective one: instead of “who fears teenagers” this graph depicts “whom teenagers fear”. That would probably make it a fair bit more accurate. Still not actually funny, but accurate.
it’s not the “omg a monster” scary. it’s “ahh global warming” scary. the future is in their manicured hands.
Heeeey. don’t diss the manicures. >.<
does not endorse this graph
People are scared of TEENAGERS now?!?!? Well… that just means my Viking brethren haven’t done their jobs…. slackers.
I would argue that the graph is the exact opposite. Teenagers are afraid of themselves, while as the generations get older, they have nothing to worry about.
I’m terrified of putting them, the illiterate, ignorant, self-absorbed creatures they mostly are, in charge of the future. And I’m supposed to have only 5% of fear. (Is fear measurable in percentiles? “How much of the fear do you have?” “About half. Half of the fear.”)
No, no, you’re in the 5% of your age group who fear teenagers.
Then why is the y-axis labeled “Fear of teenagers” and not “Percentage of people in labeled age group who are fearful of teenagers?”
Well it seems the “adults” haven’t really done a great job with the world thus far. I don’t really don’t see how the next generation could screw up more than that.
Typing fail
Until we become irradiated feral people scavenging the remnants of a nuclear apocalypse, it can always get worse.
Your comment is quite insulting to teenagers, I being one myself. I think you’ll find that not all of us are illiterate and ignorant. I attend the best grammar school in the UK. I have to admit, the only other teenagers I’m scared of are chavs………..eurgh, I shudder at the thought of them!
So how did this make the front page?
Actually parents are scared of teenagers…other people’s teenagers and what they’ll talk their teenager into doing…that counts, right?
I think this graph should be “Hate of Teenagers” with 20′s-30′s being much, much higher. I’m 21 and they irritate the crap out of me.
I’m sorry to say that the irritation only increases with age.
Just throw teens an iPod and they will completely entertain themselves and destroy their social life as-well! Texting does count as socializing. God for bid speak to one another in person. I love seeing a group of 4 teens at the mall, and all of them are listening to their iPods and not speaking to one another while walking next to each other.
Only in America…..seriously,where did you see such a thing???I’ve never seen some thing like that,only in movies maybe.
well… like you said: America. Malls everywhere. They are like locusts.
why is the y-axis represented as a percentage? does 100% = scared, and 0% = not scared?
i don’t get it.
I am not afraid of teenagers. I am just pissed off I can’t give them the ass-kicking they so desperately need.
this graph doesn’t make much sense, and it makes the front page… and there are so many graphs that are actually funny which don’t make the front page.
Irony: Adults patronizing a generation that is more educated, with lower rates of crime, drug abuse and teenage pregnancy than they were at the same age.
But please, go on to tell us how your paper economy, decades of deficit spending, and public discourse completely devoid of any intellectual honesty is working out for the country.
I think it was one of your generation patronizing adults with this weak graph, not the other way around.
As for “our” economy, deficit spending and public discourse…when your teenaged self gains a little perspective on this country and its place in the history of the world, perhaps you’ll see that things are working out pretty well for the country. Are you actually suggesting that teenagers could eliminate financial cycles? Come up with an alternative to Keynsian theories on deficit spending? I didn’t think so.
Be sure to thank all the adults who super educated you.
*high-five*
(remembers being quite the know-it-all as a teen, too, though…)
yeah, same here.
I’m pretty sure Keynes advocated the occasional use of deficit spending and argued that sound public policy could smooth somewhat the peaks and valleys of the business cycle that an unrestrained market would endure. I don’t recall him arguing for spending money you don’t have on a near constant basis and providing perverse incentives for the market that ultimately cripple your economy.
Please provide your wikipedia cite.
Irony: misusing the word irony while trying to patronize adults by claiming teens are better educated than adults.
Please support your contention that:
a) teens are now better educated when from what I see, the lessons have been dumbed down.
b) teens have a lower crime rate now than in the past
c) teens user fewer drugs now than in the past
d) teens have a lower rate of pregnancy now than in the past.
Most of that I find hard to believe in light of the rampant marijauna use I see (yes, pot is an illegal drug), the little thugs getting caught after putting up videos of their exploits on YouTube, and the fact that I see so many women in their early twenties with children over the age of four.
Y’know.. it’s probably fear of the music that they listen to..
But you never know.. I think it’s more.. disgust?
Or jealousy at the age of 61+.. ‘cos they can joy-ride on your lawn-mower and nothing you can do short of calling the police can stop them.
But if I was 61 and someone was joy-riding on my lawn mower, I’d get my golf-cart and start a race.
And they were in the house with you.
And your parents knew it and let them stay.
*ominous music*
There was no escape.
‘Stop hitting yourself’ was inevitable.
WIN.
Just in case anybody was curious, here is an article that talks about how the current teen generation is supposedly more “tame”.
http://www2.macleans.ca/2009/04/10/generation-tame/
Some would call this “generation lame.”
Haven’t teens in Canada always been “tamer” than teens in the US? I mean, not to play into stereotypes, but you guys do have a lot less crime and generally take better care of your citizens… which should make for happier teens, I’d think.
Just once I’d like to see an article about teens who DO drink, smoke pot, associate with ne’er-do-wells, and chat with strangers on the internets, but use moderation and common sense and end up turning out OK in the end. Not all teens are blithering idiots – you just don’t ever hear about the sensible ones.
how can you have a percentage of fear?
I would say the only group actually *afraid* of teenagers would be 10-12 year olds. Junior high/high school is a pretty scary place when you don’t have hair on your naughty bits.
There is no border between the two age groups. Pre-teen ends at age 12, and teen begins at age 13.
I think under 10 should be a spike, too. Maybe I was just tragically uncool, but I remember often thinking “OMG teenagers! If I associate with them I’m going to get in trouble!”
Now if you make the graph about fear of minorities instead, I’d say this is pretty damn accurate.
Why, I’d call that lust for teenagers.
when i was 4 (1993) and i went to the city playground i thought tennagers (but they could have been hard drug users in their 20′s) were so cool but as i became one it got less
waaaaiiiiiiit…how can 60 year olds be teenagers???
What you on about? Did you read the graph properly?
Don’t forget My Chemical Romance. They are terrified of teenagers.
so true
Hahahaha, YES, I clicked into the comments just to see if someone would think of this… I was sure they would.
you for got 1-9 extra high
This graph is all wrong. The teenage part of the graph should skyrocket, ’cause teenagers are the ones that are truly scared of them (not physically, but mentally). They are so scared to be laughed at. To be different. To be THEMSELVES. To develop some f’ing character! Teenagers and 4th graders are scared of teenagers. No-one else.
Lol, My grandfather told me that there is a computer in his brain, *rools eyes*and says strang things about swimming holes and pooping
its creepy
EPIC WIN! MCR rock!!
There should be a spike at 11. Only when I was almost 13 was I comfortable around my teenage cousins. I was pretty comfortable around them when I was like 9/10 I think…
It’s supposed to go through the floor when you’re 70.
100 commenth!OOOH YEAAAAAAAAHH
