"there is more to sex education than just intercourse."
THIS. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
Fiona's answer was so naive. Your religious parents wanted to be the one to teach you about sex so they could drill into your head to be abstinent and nothing else.
@@MsDudette21 well duh sheâs Christian, they follow the Bible and what it says. The Christian perspective on sex solves a lot of issues that teens go through today. I recently became Christian going into college and Iâm speaking from experience.
@@capybaras8 but they are going to have sex eventually. You can teach abstinence AND teach the essentials around sex education.
@@sola_a why would you want to teach abstinence? Thatâs not natural
@@capybaras8 my country have a 80%+ majority catholic and as a catholic even on a none catholic school the education on sex ed is drilled like that too and i hate it so bad, theres already many historical value never taught on our education and even false history out of propaganda in school and we even have a bad health education but one thing im great about only is that we have a virtue and morality subject. Though not many listen on that class :((
âHaving a group of friends is a luxuryâ I really felt that.
Real sus
Super sus
Sus sus
Extremely sus
Same here.
Can we just applaud all these teenagers for being so respectful towards each other and other options? On so many middle grounds with adults, people argue or are disrespectful, but these teens were so respectful.
Fully agree, that was really nice to see.
They were pretty easy questions though. Thereâs no way anybody here is younger than 18.
Because this wasn't a subject of debate.
@@alexgriffith3393 but itâs more than that though, everyone was very thoughtful and well spoken. Plus the overall atmosphere wasnât alarming - I feel like it could have turned into a pretty conflicting debate on a dime. But instead it felt like a really easy going conversation.
@Stardusk Dark... Because it wasn't really a controversial topic. Most people can discuss trivial matters like this without need for quarrel.
However a different topic of conversation with this same group of people such as politics, religion, abortion rights etc.. might not go as smoothly.
Iâd love to see an American teens vs UK teens episode like I feel like thereâs a lot of differing opinions there
YES
Omg ya
Or American and global students
I think thereâd be more yelling!
Jesus you're so pretty
Their levels of maturity is astounding. If only this was how people discuss/debate things on social media platforms and in school, It would encourage more people to share their opinions/beliefs without feeling ignored or talked over, merely cuz their opinions don't align. hehe loved it here âșïž
Ngl that was the whitest. Middle ground so far. Don't ask me how i can explain it, it's just is. The worst part is that they didn't even chose the average City or Country teens these where the social reject of both no offense.
@@Yng619 that makes no sense how was it the whitest middle ground they were just being civil
Social media they're behind screens.
you can have different beliefs than me, that's fine. but it becomes a problem when someones "beliefs" negatively effects other people.
Because they were on camera đ
Jerimey broke my heart when he said he thinks heâll never find a group of friends that truly care for him. I think we should all be his friend :)
no
@@Ok-mv1xg why no
I really think heâs assuming incorrectly by saying heâll never find a group of friends. A lot of people donât make their closest life friends until theyâre out of high school or even in their mid-adult lives.
I have few friends and was bullied a lot growing up, and if this comment was made about me I'd feel worse tbh. It's just insincere and comes off as pity. He's a person, not a puppy lol. Maybe you guys actually wouldnt get along.
No cause now you wanna be his friend cause you feel sorry for him. It shouldn't work like that
I have an idea where it could make these series a whole lot better, I feel like after being asked all these statements and what they believe in, at the end of the whole video they should get some extra time where they can ask any questions to the opposite side and broaden their beliefs and curiosity.
They most likely had more time to conversate off camera
@@lexystar45 ya definitely but then it would be better to record it cause then it might answer some of the questions that we had out of more curiosity
I actually asked some questions throughout the conversation but it was an hour - 2 hrs worth of footage cut down to this. :/
Great sugestion, would make it spicy and spontanious
Hi skinnyâs! Itâs jerimey hereâ€ïž I loved every single moment of filming this and appreciate the support. Like I shortly mentioned in the video I do currently live in a major city and Iâve been in one just shy of 5 months. Still not used to it but I love my quiet life and wouldnât trade it for anything. Iâm glad I was able to relate to some of the people here and hope that i represented Upstate SC and Charlotte wellâ€ïž
Yessssss Jerimeyyyyy â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Is this really you..? I'm so sorry dude, much love your way
@Sherri T[A]P Me!! To Have [S]EX With Me
It depends, because a single city can be geographically diverse and have areas that are urbanized and areas that are Hella rural. Like I said, I grew up in PR: in the northern central coast, btw. While the ward/borough I grew up was super duper rural...15/20 minutes away from my old home, it was all urban (for example, my high school was in the urban part, on a hill, and you could see the coast from it).
The same can be true in the mainland USA: usually in the areas known as the "outskirts" or the designated "extra territorial jurisdictions" tend to be much more rural than the "city proper" areas.
You are amazing, Iâm really proud of how you handled yourself. Many hugs!
Hi Jerimey, i hope you're doing well. I love watching this video and i always wanted to live in the country because it's so peaceful. I want to enjoy the simple things in life, live with the animals and do a lot of work too.
This was very wholesome. Everyone was so respectful.
Define wholesome
@@trevor3575 bruhđđ
@@thatkidkgosi everyone uses that word on the internet now but they have no clue what it actually means. Idiots are watching too much tiktok
@@trevor3575 U right
@@trevor3575 The meaning of words is determined by how people use and understand them tho đ
People always underestimate how dangerous the country is. The truth is that crime is less often reported and more cases go unsolved in rural areas.
Generally, there are less stranger-homicides but there are plenty of domestic and intimate partner related homicides, and drug-related crimes.
Many small towns in Florida, the Deep South and the Midwest have equal crime than large cities.
Fr. The country feels a whole lot less safe in so many ways.
At the very least, the kinds of crimes may vary, but the country isn't safer than the city. The type of crimes just vary depending on the area, like you said.
yeah, the thought of being isolated in an area without many people or access to public places seems like it paints an easy target for crimes
Yea, I've lived in both a small country town (pop. ~3000) and a big city (8+ million), and whennthe young lady mentioned feeling safer taking a night jog in the country than the city, my initial reaction was "Umm..what?". Obviously, we all have different perspectives.
Yes, kinda. You sre streching s bit saying that country had as much crime as cities when country has 0 gang problems. I would argue still safer to be in country then city especially a povery area of cities.
facts if anything itâs more dangerous, because if you get taken whoâs gonna find you ?
There is way more nuance than city vs. country. It heavily depends on the definition of country. I mean, does country mean in the middle of nowhere? Is a small town (
Pretty sure it's naturally assumed country means small town, farms, roaming through the woods for fun instead of going to the mall. Etc.
i technically live in the countryside, but my town has a massive population & is like 25-30 mins away from london, so i wish they clarified

@@wolfzmusic9706 yeah but this is america - the difference is often WAY more stark

"I love the character of LA" *uses a horrifying example of wealth inequality to prove point*
Update- her clarification: "Hi! That was me. Allow me to explain: I absolutely understand where you're coming from. It is a type of "character" that the city has. Wealth inequality is absolutely an issue as well as our lack of compassion and help for homeless people. I advocate for better programs for our homeless population, from mental health to guidance helping them have a better and stable life. I used this as an example of "character" since it's so contrastable to what you think about the country when you talk about the city. Unfortunately our homeless problem isn't being fixed so the city has a reputation for it. There was more to my whole statement. They made me shorten it. They took out A LOT of what I said throughout the video. Please realize that."
don't bully a teenager y'all, it was just a weird and uncomfortable-funny statement
That was so weird and awful to use as a reason why they love it, I just- what??
when was this
@@ree3901 very beginning, the city girl with shorter hair and glasses
Edit: 00:56
i wished they used people from more cities and more non white people
@@ree3901 in the beginning
I hope Jerimey finds his tribe, he seems to be such a great spirit.
I wish they included kids from the hood to bring in their opinions.
Yea, I feel like several of the 'Middle Ground' episodes require a few more nuanced breakdowns in their groups. Unfortunately, this might lead to longer and more indepth conversations...and long episodes.
Wait...
That's a win!
@@ntr10me Jubilee always edits down their videos, I don't get it, we would all love to hear the entire conversation. That is the whole point of our interest in these videos! Also they always just get an upper class Los Angeles perspective LOL definitely doesn't relate to a lot of other Americans.
I'm really concerned that your assumption is that no one from "the hood" was there.
@@lolitafalana how so?
â@@lolitafalana What do you find concerning? That they were willing to make that assumption? I think most of us were thinking it too. It's typical of most Jubilee videos. They get actors from LA the majority of the time
What a great conversation. Teens seem to act more mature than they did when I was one. Could be the pandemic? Could be the feeling of needing to grow up faster? Idk. But great video, Jubilee!
Well these are teens, but theyâre 19 or older. Not true non mature teens
No trust me they still exist but they arenât the type to be these type of videos
As someone who works w teens, they are more mature and better at tough conversations these days imo. I think itâs due to necessity tbh because of how bleak the world is rn.
I think its older souls are reborn
@@aries8910 that's such a lie teens todayâ act way more immature then before
Jerimeyâs emotional wall is UP. Heâs a sweet guy but you can tell heâs wall is up, even amongst these kind teens. However once he opened up about his insecurities, it all made sense. I wanted to reassure him so bad. Nevertheless heâs young. Most times, later in life you make lots of new life long friends.
I very much appreciate the kind wordsâ€ïž -jerimey
@@jerimeykirby8637 OMG Jerimey! Wow. You are very welcome and I mean every word I said because Iâve been there myself. I was literally called every name in the book and although I was very social I definitely had a wall up especially with people in my age group because I did not want to be hurt, so I know that look. And I almost teared up with what you said because I myself ALWAYS felt that in the back of my mind. However I look back and can successfully saying that I do have a group of people that were and still are genuinely my friends. And you will see that very soon because youâre a WONDERFULLY person and I saw that as soon as I saw this video. Trust me. â€ïž
I have to admit that even though I'm not gay, I can relate to having a lot of insecurities as a teenager. In some ways , it really does get better with more time and experience, but be wise with the company you keep. I say this as something I've learned from experience myself.
When the girl asked if it was because of race or was it about where those people live and Ololade brought up redlining, I was so proudđđŒđđŒ
Also: I absolutely love Jerimey. He seems so genuine.
The fact that she even understands that already was crazy to me
i was so impressed with ololade too!! what fiona said rubbed me the wrong way but ololade responded in such a concise and educated manner â€
Omg yes. I immediately stopped the video to look for this comment đ like girlâŠ
But why do black people think it's all about them?
â@@kevinjordan3516 You sound oddly obsessive over black people. Don't be that type of weird.
it's funny how they're teens and acting way more mature than some of the adults in the other middle grounds. Love this show
Yes so true đ. Sense moving from the a big city to small town . I have experience many adults not being mature. A lot of bias and judgement against my race
These are the conversations that give me the tiniest amount of hope for the future
I am so encouraged by the younger generations. They know so much more than I did at their age.
I wouldn't say so i see it more as in these discussions people who are as said in the (right party) don't actually get their outputs on in the discussion once they actually start to say something they say "next question"

@@user-ooop Well, she knew what she was talking about.. She simply didn't want to go into a whole other topic. Now it seems that you are the uneducated one
I feel relieved that Iâm not the only one who feels like jerimey with not ever having a solid friend group or fitting inâŠ
Honestly yes! But Iâve also noticed that many groups of friends are toxic as well. So just because they look like friends on the outside doesnât mean itâs always so great.
Like I said, friends are a luxury. Unfortunately itâs hard to find people who truly understand you and love you for who you are that will stick. Especially for me just because Iâm so engaged in work and supporting myself but itâs at the expense of myself and my relationships. But I love all the support everyone has given to me. It means the world to me
High self esteem honors to be with everyone equally. Self excitement only is socialize fun.
@@TheStarz2826 damn yâall got a twisted idea of friendship
@@jerimeykirby8637 I don't feel like friends should be a luxury. I view it as an essential part of life, so I felt sad when you explained it and I felt like you are missing out on something beautiful. I really wish you the best and hope that you find beautiful peers who you can trust and open up to
I think Jubilee is seriously missing out on other perspectives in other parts of the country. Everything being California focused I think hinders a lot. Iâm glad they at least got people from other states in this.
I think they could had done much more, this was super surface level stuff. Let's get heated!
Nashville and Boston and Dallas residents could bring more perspectives than just Californian cities i mean there is Seattle WA as well as a option.
Agree. As someone in Chicago we are heavy in industry and have different mindsets as well. NYC and LA are very different and donât represent all big American cities
Bless Ololade for recognising the depth of racial equality is another conversation and not forcing it, but still acknowledging it and moving on with the conversation...
What do you mean by "not forcing it"?
@Everrick Wright Democrats voted against school choice, which would have allowed people from less funded areas to attend better schools. The neighborhoods are shitty bc no one wants to live there due to the crime, drugs, violence, etc. Like if a CVS, Chinese takeout spot keeps getting robbed, they going to pack up and leave. You can't fault that except on the community. I agree that redlining negatively impacted black Americans, but that was a bad relic of the past - been over 5 decades and doesn't happen anymore. You got fresh off the boat POC immigrants buying property now especially those from the Caribbean + Africa buying up Richmond hill, Jamaica, Ozone Park NY
@@rocketman3770 Rocketman let not lie now. Just because redlining was made illegal does not mean it does not happen anymore. Plus people favorite immigrants over AA and that is just a fact.
@@Mayday_06 do you have actual proof of that or just guessing?
@@rocketman3770 there is actual proof though. It's not hard to actually look it up.
I totally see where Jeremy is coming from when it comes to not having friends and trying to find that certain friend group that you belong with itâs also one of my insecurities as well

the diversity of the city is a lot more welcoming to me than the scarcity of people in the country. a lot of my escapist fantasies take place in the country where i can finally relax and not have to think about anything and everything all the time, but so many alarms go of for me whenever i do find myself in more rural areas particularly in the south. as a black woman with deep roots in the slave trade and social injustices of the south, but comes as no surprise.. thereâs a reason why so many of the black people in my life feel the same way. but of course thereâs outliers. itâs just important to recognize that generational trauma aspect
I worry about sundown towns in the south.
you can live in the country but still have a lot to do. i live in the countryside technically but my town is massive & quite close to london
There's areas outside of us if you'd ever wanna live there
I didnât know there were still slaves in the South. Sorry you had to experience that trauma.
@@Fourtune1 Thatâs not true but ok đ
Calling Uber is not a lifeskill...thats no different than saying cooking is a lifeskill and calling Doordash is a lifeskill.... only cooking is, calling doordash or Uber are just being tech savvy
Exactly
I feel like the superior argument that Jerimey made was that people in the country tend to be more self reliant. People in the city are very dependent on others to provide the services they need.
I wish they actually had some teens from the urban inner city to speak on their experiences instead of just a bunch of rich kids from la they literally just glossed over it for a sec đ
How do you know they're rich?
@@TributesAndUnique they ooze privilege
Nah fr they shouldâve gotten people that grew up in other cities who moved to LA rather than just LA kids
We did talk about those types of experiences. A lot was cut out, unfortunately
the problem is having teens fly out to LA while school/college is happening is pretty unpractical and it basically filters the local rich city kids to go to the set

I have a love/hate relationship living in the city. On the one hand, there's no shortage of things to see and do, lots of opportunities and excitement. On the other hand, it can get too busy. Crime and violent crimes are on the rise in the past year. Things can just get very stressful.
I wouldn't mind a switch to a more quiet, slower paced way of life for a while. Yeah, there are people with a less progressive outlooks on life out there, but in the city there are also overly progressive people, like to a degree that they're trying so hard to be the most woke person that they're literally coming out the other side racist. That's very frustrating and exhausting to deal with too.
ATTENTION BROTHER!!! I have two very very sweet girlfriends who I show off (I smell like 100 not-alive orangutans oh nooo) in my perfectly great videos that most people consider to be the reason of life! Thank you for you attention, dear dude kid caa
As someone who has lived in both I found the second paragraph very relatable.
honestly! i live in london and so many people i know have been stabbed, all of my friends have been robbed/mugged at least once in their lives and my bestfriend was sexually assaulted last year walking to school. thereâs a lot of danger in big cities and so many more young people turn to crime so the cycle just continues. also life is super fast paced and some times i think it would be cool to go somewhere more laid back where you can go on long walks etc
@@sneakerhead6625 I went to visit a friend out in a much smaller town several hours away and was very taken aback to see him not lock his car parked outside or his house at night.
When I mentioned it to him, he just said it wasn't necessary. People didn't steal cars or break into other people's houses in his town.
Very jealous. Even in spite of that, I still didn't feel safe keeping my car unlocked while visiting.đ . I'm too used to the paranoia of the city where if I forgot to lock my car, it would already be gone in under 5 minutes.

sooo true when she said she âavoids eye contact cos that puts in risk of danger from bad pplâ couldnât relate more. I moved from city to country and itâs been a year and only now Iâm getting used to somewhat smiling and having eye contact with ppl in grocery stores. Other than that Iâm mostly dead serious never smiling or talking not cos Iâm bi**y but because i know ppl can pull out a gun just by accidentally looking at them a certain way (which was a norm in my hometown btw)...i trust nobody but it is what it is
"i know ppl can pull out a gun just by accidentally looking at them a certain way"

Iâm from nyc. For me, traveling to other cities that arenât nyc feels like a big culture shock for me, since itâs the most densely populated place in the country. When Iâm in places like Miami, DC, Minneapolis etc, I might as well be in out in the middle of nowhere imo.

The contrast of the city dwelling white male and white female feelings related to safety was thought provoking. The male felt safe because his physical attributes and the felt unsafe because of her physical attributes.

I think this conversation couldâve benefitted from having the perspective of an inner city teen. Because some of the talking points made by the city teens here probably wouldnât actually apply to inner city teens - especially when discussing things like access to resources and adequate education etc.
It's true. Jubilee is notorious for having privileged people on to discuss in depth topics. and ALWAYS from Los Angeles. I'm sure it's because of where they are located but it does a disservice to the topics they are trying to address.
@@DD-rh2sz this is where I think that globally the countriside comes in as a bonus though. In my experience communities where everyone knows everyone are much more beneficial to the people because stereotypes do not run the Show. Its not the Whites, the jews, the mexicans, the blacks, the christians, the slavs, the muslims, the asians etc. Its Frank, shlomo, rosa, michael, christina, ivana, ahmed and Naoko.
So there will be no systemic opression in the education system like in the cities because there isnt yt school and minority school. there is just school. (Same goes for hospital, Synagoge/church/mosque, job center, etc.)
Sure not every countryside is that mixed but you get what im saying.
But i am also non american so idk. how the US countriside compares to where im from.

When Jerimey talked about never finding that group of friends, I felt that. I feel like I've never had that either.
I grew up in suburbs that were practically the country. Like, just a few miles down the road were farms, ranches, and fields of whatever the hell they grew. And I was miserable. Felt like living on the moon. The go-to hangout was the Target! Peers were marrying at 18 and divorcing before they were 25. I missed out on so much living out there. I live in SoCal now, just ten minutes from downtown LA. And I am so grateful. Yes, traffic sucks, there are days where the sky is grossly brown, and some areas are really dirty, but itâs always an adventure. And just about a dozen beaches!
So did it make you bitchier?

I really like this. Iâm born & raised from San Francisco & moved to Georgia. Huge change to what Iâve been use to. The city life is more fast paced & can have more opportunities but I definitely want the country life as I get older when I get ready to settle down.
This was honestly such a great, healthy conversation! Looking forward to more of these Middle Grounds :)
City living skill and country living skill are both needed. I saw some Carlton looking person waiting for his tire to be changed on a vehicle known world wide for its off road capabilities. The more skills you know, the better
âCarlton-looking personâ đ
Was it like a Jeep Wrangler lmao
@@sidney6002 nah it was a Land Rover
I would have to disagree with Tiffany on diversity in cities and how that contributes to social skills. Theoretically, yes. In practice, no. I think her statement is coming more from a place of affluence because anyone who grew up underprivileged in the city knows that segregation in communities still very much exists and the opportunity to cross those boundaries - for kids in impoverished communities -, is limited. (When you have money or have access to more resources, it creates more opportunities to expand your bubble.) As they get older, venture off and become more financially independent, it is easier to venture outside of that bubble. But as a youth, more often than not, you stick with your community, which will oftentimes be defined by one or two racial/ethnic groups.
With me, for example, like many of my peers, I grew up around black and Hispanic peopleâŠ.and really a very specific type. It wasnât until I went to college that I began to interact with people of different socioeconomic backgrounds and started to diversify my friend group.
I think the fact that being young shouldnât matter. Most kids in general regardless of where they live donât know thousands of people until later in their life
And the privilege shouldnât matter. You are still surrounded by people all the time. Being in segregated communities gives you challenges you learn how to deal with. I donât think country kids learn the exact same lessons as city kids. But just because some city kids are underprivileged doesnât mean they donât gain practical skills
Yeah tiffany's from my highschool in SoCal (she goes to NYU). We're in LA County but like 30 mins from actual city of Los Angles. I'd say we grew up in a upper-middle class neighborhood (her being wealthier and me being more middle-class for example) that was mostly suburban, so your point about underprivileged communities not always having the "luxury" of diversity is spot-on. Our community was mostly white, then asian, then hispanic/latino to give perspective. Obviously it isn't on her that she grew up more upper-middle class in comparison to the area, but it still relevant to how someone's perspective is limited.
I think Tiffany grew up in a bubble. She doesnât seem to be able to see anything outside of what she perceives as âcityâ and âcountry.â
As someone who's born and raised on Long Island (suburbs) but have been in Queen's for 10 years now, I can honestly say I love it wayyy more. People here are much more open minded and down to earth. đ
If you don't mind me asking, Kristal, what part of Queens do you reside? I'm a Queens native that still lives in the borough and my mother and I'll be moving in the near future, and I have other parts of Queens on my radar to live in.
Iâve been in queens all my life and I honestly canât see myself leaving
I am the opposite. I was born in Queens but moved to Nassau County in middle school. Just going to NYC for work or visiting relatives stresses me out.
I find that there comes a point when being more open minded makes you less down to earth.
@@bennywolfe4357 I agree to an extent but elaborate what you mean?
People severely underestimate how dangerous the country is. The area I grew up in was, for a long time, the fifth largest (in terms of volume of movement rather than size of the population) drug trafficking area in the united states with a murder rate higher than the inner city of New York or LA per capita. The population was low enough that it translated to "oh, it's just a few and they're all in a gang" type of situation until you dissect those numbers.
Do more of these with older and younger teens, itâs really interesting
No interrupting. No yelling. No insults. Adults could learn a lot from these "gen z's".
I live in the south and we never had sex ed. we had a program come to our school every other year or so called "just wait" and basically they just told us about std's & teen pregnancy saying "if you don't want that, don't have sex" kind of wild.
I love the diverse characters and the flow of the dialogue. I realize how social media has brought the country and the city closer together. Guarantee there parents would have way deferent perspective
Idk I have a feeling this was edited poorly in a way that doesnât accurately reflect the perspectives of each person... If Jubilee didnât cut off everyone after like two seconds of talking maybe we could have heard more explanations as to why they said what they said instead of allowing randoms in the comments to misinterpret little things.
And the lighting too...Lmfao
They cut a LOT of our talking out. We had quite lengthy conversations and not everyoneâs full points were always brought across. But overall it was pretty accurate in representing each of us.
@@iMandyVids This is my biggest criticism of Jubilee and I've been commenting it for years. The viewers want to hear everyone's points. WHY would you edit it down and often cut out very important ideas. Even if the video was an hour we would LOVE THAT! I can't understand why Jubilee always does this.

@@DD-rh2sz I think because if itâs too long it discourages views. I wish they posted a shortened version and a longer version, but that would also be more work and perhaps not worth it on their side I believe
I'm just now finding the "middle ground" videos. And I won't lie, they're pretty awesome to see so many discussions take place. Even if everybody doesn't agree, I love to see the many different views on topics. đ
I grew up in the city but regularly spent summers in the country. They are definitely very different walks of life. I agree that you learn more practical skills in the country because you are taught to be more self reliant but in the city you learn street smarts.
Little late to this video, but Iâd like to add my opinion. I grew up half of my life in small Iowan towns. Moving to the city has made me tremendously happy. The only âmisinformationâ I found in this video was when they talked about safety in small towns. I was in a surrounding school district of Mollie Tibetts, and that is when real life hit me. Danger is everywhere, donât let small towns fool you. There are teens who will hurt you for being different, adults who believe that they stand above authority, and people who are secretly thinking of ways to get away with it. If I didnât have my own trauma relating to everything I just mentioned, I may think differently.
I agree with Mandy 100%. I definitely am still learning about my period at damn near 30. If it weren't for CZcams I would still be suffering on silence thinking I was just built wrong.
proud of this generation of people because all of these middle ground videos with teens are always so respectful compared to other videos
I wanted to comfort Jeremy so bad when he was talking about friend groups. Iâm so sorry you feel that way bby. I PROMISE you will find your team of people. It doesnât always happen when youâre young.â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Are u in the same situation?
This group is definitely the most mature and friendly out of all jubile vids. No shade was thrown and everyone was so nice to hear
They all have such well thought out and formed opinions like I lowkey agreed with all of them even if itâs not what I originally thought. Being a teen myself and knowing what other teens are like I really didnât expect this. It was a nice change.
Honestly I love both the country and the city. Most my family from South Carolina and North Georgia, but some how I was born in Tampa Florida. I love how the country is so freeing and the land and how nice everyone who knows you treats you, but thereâs always something to do in the city and the lifestyle.
As a country kid, I can say I don't think the "country representatives are very accurate. Not an attack on these people, they seem like fine folks, but nose, ring, holes in jeans for style, tight pants, shorts, button up shirt sleeves... I never see that stuff on any country people I know...
It's mostly from the suburban people that wear those.
Beautiful conversation. I just hope our SC friend realizes that he is wonderful and will find his tribe.
Theyâre all so eloquent and brilliant, I love it
Side note, Ololade is adorableeee
Omg thankyouuuđ„ș
âI would hand shake but you knowâ lol love it
I live on the outskirts of Houston Texas, so I kind of was able to understand both sides pretty well. Maybe it's just because I'm Asian American, but I've never felt 100% safe out in the country, and I don't think that people don't pose a danger out there.
grew up in lake jackson 45 minutes south of houston and now live in boston massachusetts⊠lake jackson is more developed than most âsmall townsâ but moving to a major city was still a major culture shock itâs crazy
Loved their perspectives!!
I am a bit of both I grew up in NYC but a lot of my family is from the country. I grew up hunting, fishing, survival skills, and I also know how to travel late at night and feel safe. I think its important to have both lifeskills and also practical skills.
As a Los Angeles native who actually* grew up in the city, these two examples of âcity teensâ from Los Angeles are more than likely from LA county rather than the central hub of the city itself. Sure, they might drive out to the city for whatever reason once a month or so, but theyâre only familiarized from a distance at best given the aspects that theyâre speaking on.
Yes this is exactly what I was thinking,
thank you Gary
" Native "
Really respectful chill episode I love thisđŻ
Iâm originally from Philly and currently reside in a New Jersey suburb. I donât see eye to eye with nobody around heređ
so sad
I have a weird dynamic where I live in a suburban place that's close to the city and the more rural areas.
@@jasonbourne1126 Same here, I moved out here in high school. I live about 30mins away from the city.
Team Country. Simply because being away from nature makes me extremely nervous. I grew up in a rural area with rolling farmland and too much development and crowded areas make me stressed af. Iâm thankful I spent my youth working on farms and having fires with friends
Live in the surburbs, want to move to country so bad. Gotta create more income though. At least I DIY grow my own food.
I feel the same way! I grew up in the boonies (PNW mountains) and we pretty much had a farm. I have so many great memories from my childhood... I now temporarily live in the suburbs of a city and I can't wait to go back to the country. I miss the trees... The lack of neighbors... The chickens!!
I can relate to..i love the peace n quiet.
these keep getting better and better
Outstanding video. By far best jubilee video yet
Jerimey seems like the sweetest person ever I would totally be his friend đąâ€ïž
Letâs make it happen bestie!
@@jerimeykirby8637 aaahh Iâm so happy you saw this!! Iâm so serious do you have any social media people can follow?
One is stuck playing the impassioned protagonist in oneâs Subjective Narrative of Selfđ
I think for the practical skills one, there isnât really a right answer. City kids are just better adapted for their environment and vice versa
How many city kids know how to change a tire? How many know how to fix an electrical problem in their home? Or a plumbing issue?
@@Criner05 what Iâm trying to say is that city kids donât know that, but itâs rare that they need to and they can just call someone. Country teens may not know others skills that are useful in the city
@@audreyhenry8016 Yeah but if we flip that, city kids wonât know what to do if their tire is blown in the country. Thereâs pros and cons to both sides.
@@Criner05 so true. When it comes to practical issues like changing a tire, fixing a clogged toilet, or installing a pendant light, they dont know how.
These kids give me hope for the future. They are very respectful and accepting of each other. I love it.
I would love to see a Homeschooling versus Public School group. Covid opened up the option to homeschool to a lot of parents, itâs overwhelming how many options there are nowadays. Thereâs a lot of misconceptions on both parts
Loved this and the teens involved are so open-minded with each other's ideas
I have never seen a generation of teens so awesome. Like.. They talked about mental health, diluted/overly censored sex education, protecting women, defunded schools near urban neighborhoods, guns in the city plus school shootings, etc. I have hope for the future because this is insane.
I think this was the most respectful and genuine episode
I was in the foster system for the last few years of my child hood. When I went to an inner city school it was like what they show colleges like in movies. One of my classes had 70 students to one teacher
I love this I would love to be in a video like this ! Keep them coming I love to see different perspectives
OMG THIS IS NEEDED
I love these!
You donât have to fit in cause you *STAND* out shoutout to you Jermiy â€ïž!
This group of young adults give me hope! They were all so open, honest and respectful. THIS is how all discussions/debates should be. We would all be so much better off, and learn SO much more.
A practical skill is something that is overall beneficial to your life when you use it.
The âarm candyâ kid made me so sad with that :( I hope he can find genuine friends đ
This middle ground conversation was very enlightening!
I really enjoyed this video. Very nice everyone
I've lived in a tiny village all my life, and I definitely want to live closer to a large city. But I could never live in one. I was in New York for 12 hours, and I almost had a full breakdown. It's just so much, and my anxiety can't handle that kind of overstimulation constantly.
I think there should be different variations of city and country. Im from North Carolina but i grew up with city life but then I also have experiences that people from LA and New York would consider country.
same!
totally
