Do you dislike people in your age group?

[Kandy-Sugar]

I find that people in my age group are fine.

It depends on the person really. It doesn't matter what age group they're in there will always be the bunch of people who are immature for their age or into drugs and drama etc.

You just need to find the right people. You shouldn't go looking for a bunch of 30 year olds expecting that when you do find them that they'll be the sort of person you're looking for.

In fact, I've seen more 30-40 year old losers/bums who are often guys, then I've seen immature 18-30 year olds.

Whether they're in my age group or another I just find the good ones. =P

Age should never be something you go by when determining whether or not someone is the right person for you to hang around, but then that's just my opinion. >.<

I dislike people who are arseholes. Arseholes, unfortunately, can come from any age group. Funny, intelligent, outgoing people can come from any age group as well. You can't just generalise groups like that IMO... the people who are in your life are pretty much random so you have determine what they're like for yourself.

So for me, it's a mix. There are people I don't like, and there are people I do. I think it will always be a mix as it has always been in my experience.

I dont really know many peeps my age, some are older and some are younger. But the ones Ive met can either be arseholes or pretty nice people. It happens with any age group really, you get good apples and bad.

The theory of the self-serving bias suggests that people tend to believe they are better than everyone else and I think there is some truth to it here.

It's stupid to make generalizations about any group of people. Not everyone who is in a certain age group is the same, popular stereotypes may suggest they are but that doesn't mean that is the case.

Also you can't make judgments on an entire age group on the basis that you believe they all partake in a particular activity like clubbing etc.. Just because someone enjoys going out, it doesn't mean they are superficial, hedonistic retards. You can't define someone by one thing that they enjoy doing in their spare time, humans are more than that.

This is the only post worth mentioning really.
It's ridiculous to sum up an entire age-group (that includes thousands of people) based on the two or three dozen who you probably went to school with. There are immature people all over the world, even into their 40s. You can't say that older and more mature people are better anyway, because every person in the world has their flaws.
Similarly, everyone in your age group who you think is a total cock will have their positives.

Luckily, I think I have entered an age group that is more bearable that the past ones (I'm 21). I have found that the 14-19 group can be unbearably annoying, way overdramatic and selfish (this isn't everyone, of course). I'm guessing this is just true of all kids before becoming independent. There are still many people over 20 who are extremely immature and annoying, but I'm beginning to like people around my age much more than I used to. Thank goodness.

'Kay I guess I'll just throw in my opinion.

Since I hang out with people my own age and go home to family members ranging from 20 all the way to 50 years of age, I've been able to assess different age groups. And to take it a step further I've met a lot of people irl who are in their 20's or very close to it and are either attending college or about to. That said, I feel like people either act foolish or are mature. People mature at different rates whether they're male or female, it just depends on their life experiences, the responsibilities they assume, and the people they hang around with.

Just because you like to club a lot doesn't mean you're stupid. Just because you hang around ONLY the jocks in high school doesn't mean you're air headed and only focused on sports. There are a good amount of people in my school that are very social, very popular, but down-to-earth and extremely intelligent. They have goals, yes they party, sure they drink socially, but at the end of the day they know when to open their books and focus on their real goals in life.

So generalizing one age group just because you've observed a set amount of 18 year olds drinking and saying silly stuff, isn't really mature at all if you think about it. You can say that SOME 18 year olds party and drink a lot, but some of them like to lay low and do art, discuss politics, become active in charities, think about changing the world, getting a job, etc. Not all of them are focused on impressing a girl or a boy. Likewise you have some 40 year olds that act like total teenagers and try to regain their youth: they drink hard, party hard, smoke a lot, maybe even use "teenage lingo"if you want to call it that. The way I see it, everyone's different so I respect that.

If you want to party, go ahead. If you want to discuss politics, cool. If you want to talk about Chuck Norris, lol, then I'm down with that. People are people. You can't change that.

Yes and no.

Now I may have met a bunch of idiots in my age group, but I've also met some of the most genuine people I think I'll ever meet in my life. There have been people who have backstabbed me and all, but on the up side, there are others who I know I can turn to for support.

What really annoys me is how the media depicts people of around my age as drunken fools when not all of us are like that. >_>

Once (and if) you and your friends/peers marry and start having children - the age group you associate with broadens significantly as you "domesticate". So, I tend to associate with people in their mid-20's all the way up to their early 40's. Personally, I like it. At that point you've more or less etablished who you are, your priorities in life shift, and I find the relationships I have to be much more genuine and stable. But as such - I can't even answer a question like this.

Yes I do hate the other 16 - 17 year olds, Why? Because they are either foaming at the mouth for Twilight, Harry Potter or Miley Cyrus or another Disney Star

+ I am probably one of the most Antisocial people -- not because I hate people but because people hate the way I act -- some call me immature, impatient etc. I say they are too much of these things they say I am not So I already had a high percentage to scare them with sarcasm or rudeness.

I see other teens using drugs and say "Boo hoo, at least you don't have Cancer" and hate to be put in the same Emotional group as others my age -- Being Antisocial and being emo? two different things IMO.

And Teens my age are usually such Narccisist

Yes, but I've genuinely never met ANYONE in my age group that I've found capable of having a mature conversation with. Maybe there are some hermit colonies of them somewhere, or by some incredible coincidence they've all chosen to avoid the vast number of schools across the country (and abroad) that I have attended, but from the evidence I've gathered so far they are definitely all dicks.
