The other day I was on the train and a whole bunch of high school kids got on at the same time. This is the time I can get get my studying/reading done, but not this time. These kids were talking so loud, they were practically screaming. I don't understand they were in the same group, why did they to spread out throughout the car. There was this girl talking/screaming to one of her friends on the other side of the train. The language they were using was also disgusting, every third word was F this and F that. There was another girl who kept bothering everyone on the train, lucky me I was sitting right next to her. I wonder why she didn't say anything to me, I think it's because I was sitting next to her ,she only bothered people who walked by her or who she knew was getting off the train.
Sometimes I feel when people/ kids engage in this type of behavior they just want people to listen to them. Maybe they have no one to listen to them at home, and feel by acting this way their friends will think that they are cool...I don't know why... The strangest thing though one of her friends commented "girl you are so loud, are like this at home?" she replied, "hell no, at home I am so quiet." I usually get very annoyed with this type of behavior because like I said this is my study time. Then I think to myself there has to be a reason why they are acting this way...... this calms me down.At home she might not get the chance to be herself and over does it when she is with her friends or maybe she is someone who feels she has to act this way in order to keep her friends entertained. She seemed like a sweet girl overall, maybe she does need someone to hear her out...... maybe.

My mother always said that people do one thing to mask something else. When they act out it is their reaction to something that is affecting them in a negative way. But it is still hard for me to remember that at ALL times. You just form these ideas about people of the fly when you see them act or speak in a particular manner.
ReplyDeletei agree with chyvone. also- teenage years are the hardest so they're still trying to find themselves and i guess they curse and act that way to get attention.
ReplyDeletei agree with both Mrs. Young and KG, and your "maybe." i always wonder these things but all you can do is wonder because you won't really ever get an answer. i also hate rowdy kids on the train. especially when you want quiet time to do your own thing.
ReplyDeleteThere are many different factors that can provoke that sort of behavior but sometimes it gets out of control to a point where i've noticed that certain teenagers feel like they have the "right" to behave that way and everyone else in the train has to fear them kind of like how that girl was bothering everyone in the train like what gives her the right to randomly annoy people? They behave like they were raised with animals try riding the train around 3-4PM once high school kids get out WORST possible time to ride the train.
ReplyDeleteWELL I FEEL THAT KIDS THESE DAY DO GET OUT OF HAND BUT WHO CAN WE BLAME IT ON. I SAY ITS ALL THE SHIT THAT GOES ON THE MEDIA AND ACCEPTED
ReplyDeleteIs so true about that kids now a day they act like if they are better then us, they are so loud and act so ignorant. LIke this girl she decided to show her boobs like if it was nothing. That is when we question where are the parents of Generation XXI.
ReplyDeleteteenagers, are in the stage where they are looking for themselves and trying to define their personalities, they may act different depending on the circunstances. and because, friends are very important they might try to show their coolness; acting rude, cursing or doing silly things. I agree with CHRIS, most of the times they get those wrong ideas from the media, the tv shows etc. Parents also have some responsability in this, they should teach their kids, some values, make them feel important,that they care and love thier kids they way they are, so they can be confident about themselves, and responsable for their acts.
ReplyDeletei definitey agree with everyone that posted. although i'm only 22, i've forgotten a lot of what it's like being a teenager and wanting the approval of your friends. these usually means engaging in behavior that you wouldn't normally do.
