You forgot to mention that everyone treats you like a kid while they expect you to act like an adult
FUCK YESSS!! OMG
evan reyes MG, yes...
Truer words have never been said, like holy crap
ten thousand billion percent this. It drives me crazy.
Exactly. Parents are the biggest offender with this. My parents just started charging me rent but they also demand I'm home by 10 every night. Look, if you're going to charge me rent, and make me buy half of my food, than it's no longer reasonable for you to try and give me a curfew.
Lol, sorry I needed to vent.
Getting your first job is really awkward because people make a weird face when you say that this is going to be your first job. It's stupid because how many jobs do people expect a 16 or 17 year old to have had? They have to start somewhere.
I haven't worked anywhere, but that sounds ridiculous. Are most teenagers even working?
Fairley
Yes, you're expected to get a job around the time you turn 15. All of my friends either have a job or are looking for one.
***** Wow, I wish people were that nice around where I live. Almost every employer where I live wants you to have some sort of job experience before hiring you. It's a catch 22.
*****
Yeah, I try to volunteer where I can. I do loads of stuff around my church, and help out with children's events, e.t.c. I almost got a job because the potential employer was impressed with all of my volunteer experience, but then somebody with job experience came around and he hired them instead.
I volunteer at the library, which isn't the same thing, of course, but it's gotten me interested in the profession :)
I don't have friends, it's much easier this way.
but keep 1 or 2 within town in case something fun comes up :)
I have literally zero friends because I moved recently and because I'm introverted I've always had this small friend group; so that completely changed. And honestly, even introverted, its *_REALLY_* hard, and super lonely. Like , on my phone sitting alone at lunch just feels terrible. I don't understand how someone could _want_ to have zero friends.
"Because now people expect you to act like an adult. And you still feel like an idiot."
Yup.
Another thing I hate about being a teenager is that I am not allowed to complain about one small thing without adults instantly disregarding me as just another "edgy, moody, hormonal teenager". Honestly, it's like I can't have a bad day without the puberty card being thrown in my face by some angry adult.
They just don't want to take responsibility for their own actions. If you have an argument and they throw the hormone card at you then they just don't want to face the fact that arguments are always caused by two parties ^^.
Quite the immature adults you have around you xD
jay k yes! It’s so annoying! Turn it’s probably worse if you’re a girl because people think it’s your period.
(teenager here)
Playing as the adult, I'd think they'd react to teenagers like that, because they don't have time to think twice of their reactions with the limited free time they have (with work, family tine, etc.) and instead generalize teenagers
Yeah
"DATING. I mean, it's just stress for no reason!" I literally paused the video and laughed over this 😂. Oh my goodness YES.
One word: YES.
Unfortunately, some of this extends into your early twenties...
Yep and I'm 12 but in 7 mouths I turn 13
I Just Really Want to Become 13 some my mom will stop saying my baby boy growing up plus 3 weeks age I started 6th Grade aka (Middle School) so there's also that lol can't wait to be in 7th Grade Next Year and If your Wondering when I was 6 Years Old in First Grade I was Held Back and That Way I'm 12 Years Old in 6th Grade.
+Creepy Prez Gaming Save yourself while you can! Once you turn 13 there is no going back.
Icy bubba Ok Thanks For The Advise.
+Creepy Prez Gaming I just turned 16 and I kinda wanna finish high school already loI (just wanna start my career) even though i still have 3 semesters to go... Man, just be patient and have fun while you can, the more you get into your teen years the weirder some things get starting by sexual stuff:p and I still have several teen years to go hahaha
THE ACNE NEVER ENDS
Never had acne. 16 years old, still no acne :). Hurrah for luck of genetics.
Acne is the worse
I‘m sorry, hon‘
I never had acne in my entire life.
I‘m 25.
So tru
I feel like I'm the only person that I know that doesn't have acne.
I was sitting here agreeing with every word spoken...
OMG I know right
Wait 1:23 A.M.?
Victoria Holland Yes. :3 My sleep schedule doesn't exist.
Klowd Johnson same!!
Ugh prom and dating x-x
Not doing them is almost worse than going with the crowd, because everyone wonder why you don't have a date and don't want to be a part of the biggest drama-fest of the year. And then they all use the same excuses to try and get you to do it
*wonders
Agreement.
I never heard of prom myself, maybe Hungary doesn't do them (anymore) but I feel unhealthy for not dating. Not that I was basically harassed by girls in various ways, from beating to teasing, all the way to humiliation and abuse. So yea... I definitelly am unhralthy. But there's also an issue: my mother expects Me, an autistic fellow, to get a healthy girlfriend, so She can take care of little old autistic Me, so anyone in my condition, disabled and handicapped people, the group I so unfortunately fell into, is out of the question. Only healthy ladies. Problem 1 was: no healthy ladies in high school. Or the elementary School I went to as a teen for that matter... Because those were filled with handicapped/disabled people. The one chance I had at dating also had a condition my mother feared, and made Me fear as well. And when I met her as a twenties old a few times... my mother's protective measures and my general cowardice made every meeting with her a painful, awkward moment. My other problem was, at the time of my teenage years, the face that I did not want to date (making my only chance at date even more hurt by my selfishnes). I imagined my sexuality limited to one-night stands, sex for fun. When I eventually considered dating, I wanted a polyamorous relationship in a culture strictly adapted for monogamy. Meaning that I will struggle for the rest of my life. And dissapoint my former date-material with multiple things at this point. And I also have more chances of being repulsive to ladies with how I imagine my dating (as a polyamorous dude, I want to sit at one table with 3 girls at once, impressing them with my nonexistent charisma, then take them home, spend the evening with entertainment, such as TV or CZcams, or anything, really, then do a foursome for the night) and there. My situation in a shellnut. I actually feel kinda affected by my lack of dates. Hopefully, there's still time to prevent chronic depression. But I regularly feel pretty lonely. And before anyone asks: I am bi, ladies however are priority 1 even to Me.
I remember when my dad threw a graduation party for me and my sister a lot of family members asked "What are you going to do now?" and I would immediately reply "I don't know..." to which they would say "What do you mean 'you don't know'?!"you see, my step-sisters had kids when she were still teenager, my parents had me when they were 19, my step-mom had my oldest step-sister when she was a senior in high school, so it only makes sense that they would all have to get their lives together as quick as possible.But me, I didn't think I'd make it past high school, so when I graduated I decided to rest for a bit. Now I'm 22 and in college, and I still don't have my entire life planned out, and I've discovered that this is OK. Even though I'm not a teenager, I can still have fun and not worry so much about responsibility.
+Jonathan Maderos i din't want to get in a college but my mom outsmarted me by bringing me to a college that pleased my eyes and to tell me to take a look at the options, i ended up choosing a course that i'm actually interested in, they dont ask many questions about what i want to do with the diploma because i told them that after college i would go aboard to study a little more
@@mima_piedade You are a uncommon example why parents are sometimes smart.
"Just so, so many reasons that nobody could have seen coming."
I lost it there. Oh, so true.
Here's a few more
Always being angry for no reason.
Wondering why a girl tells you they like you And then lie to you
Trying to tell a girl that you like her
Trying to fit in
amen to number 6 bro...man im about to graduate high school and all my friends have colleges they're enrolled in for fall, but im just still very unsure, and my mom has all these high expectations for me to live up to...o bla di o bla da :P
same here. lol
*high five* nice to know im not the only one :D
Lol yeah, collage isn't to bad, I'm finishing my first semester, still ain't got a life plan though lol!
I just killed time at a community college until I was 22 before I finally figured out what university I wanted to attend ;)
I haven't even started my senior year yet and i'm already getting asked that question all the time.
There are a whole lot of things I hate about when I was a teenager.
Another of them is that some people assume that all teenagers are rebellious. I wasn't.
It took me to my late 20s to become rebellious. :)
My favorite sound effect in blimey cow videos is the occasional bicycle horn deployed right after a great punch line! lol
I totally agree with you on all of these, especially prom. I mean, I have no interest in prom. I've told my older sisters that I'm not going to prom because the idea seems stupid to me, and yet they look at me like I'm some sort of anti-social non-human being. I have a feeling when the time comes they are going to force me to go.... but if they do try to force me, I will leave the house in a dress acting like I'm going, but in reality I'm just going to go to a friend's house or something.
I respect your decision, but as someone who lives in a place where we have no prom, no dances, no field trips... etc. I really wish I could experience prom.
+Sports Life know the feeling, you sound like me, but the ones looking at me funny were the teachers and my classmates, not my friends, who went, they were ok with me not going, but one of my classmates go really angry at me for saying that it was a waste of money, she got even worst when she noticed that i wasn't paying attention to her rambling
Your Audible commercials are the classiest ones I've seen on CZcams, like, ever. (And, if you spend any time on CZcams, you know Audible commercials are a dime a dozen...). I'm consistently impressed by you guys.
I didn't go toy senior prom because I don't know a girl that I wanted to ask, I don't like dancing in a room full of people who are grinding all over each other, and I had better things to do with my money. Everybody at school today said they hated it on Saturday.
Holler at not going to prom and not regretting it for second
I didn't need a date to enjoy my senior prom I went with friends and had a blast and all I had to pay for was a ticket which was like 50$ and a dress for 30$. I didn't want to go til 3 weeks before and I'm glad I changed my mind because looking back on it 3 years later it was the second best night of my high school days next to graduation. It's sad that so many people think you need a date to have fun at prom or in general, and that you have to spend a bunch of money as well when you don't.
I never went to prom... I never had a date... I never knew what I wanted to do with my life... and I regret nothing!
Haha, I laughed so hard at the last part. The biggest thing I've learned upon entering my 20s is that I will always feel like an idiot and no one has ever had any idea what the heck they're doing, and that's just the way life is. xP
I'm 14 and puberty's actually been treating me okay so far. (Who shall be the first to swing at my piñata of optimism?)
woodfur00 BURN PINATA BUUUUURN
Don't worry it may be difficult at one point but uh...I believe in you ^-^ Don't let anyone beat your pinyata of optimism^-^
I am 22, and am far more awkward now than I ever was in high school. However, acne isn't really an issue anymore, so I've got that going for me at least.
TheHarbinger427 First time as an adult. First time in college. First professional job. First relationships. First kisses. First interview. First marriage......yeah, it's hard at times.
It seems weird when people say... I wish I was a teenager again. Or the idea of "sweet" sixteen. It's as if they don't remember. My sixteen was super awkward, my skin was the worst it's been in my life, I had no idea how to talk to guys I like and for a while I was simply depressed.
Another thing that I hate as a teenagers is how everyone expect you to be on your way of having a driving licence . EVERYONE .
Yes
Vincent Bédard yeah so true I waited until after school to get my drivers whilst most of my friends got their license during school oh well 💁🏽 theres no rush to get you're license 🙅🏼🙅🏼🙅🏼
My friends the day after i get my learners: "So have you driven around yet?"
Me: "No its winter. Roads are icy, so i don't want to learn in these conditions and my parents don't want to pay insurance and neither do I. "
My friends: "Really? Lame."
I don't get the need to just jump right into things.
Haha my dad didn't let either my brother or I get our license till we had learned to drive in the snow/ice properly.
Yes, thank you!!
Blimey Cow, y'all betta preach it....and I mean the whole black church-standing ovation, jumping over chairs, dancing type of preaching. Holy moli, I'm 20 now and my teenage years just flashed before my eyes....I'll never forget 14, cause that's when it all began for me....and my body........ ._.
I'm 17 and everyone my age is so awkward 😂
Wait, it doesn't get better in your 20s? You just ruined my future!
Its much better but its still bad.
GreedAndSelfishness What could be wrong? You have a 40 hour work doing stuff your interested in. You get paid 70K+ a year so you can pay all your debt in ~2 years. You can buy a house for ~200K and pay it off ~3 years. I don't see the problem.
Whoah whoah, who told you you get to do work which is interesting to you?!
GreedAndSelfishness ... I thought... that if you go to school... take the required courses... you get to do stuff you liked... IS THAT NOT TRUE!?!?
Its not true.
About the Drama thing..... It happened to me..... Like literally....
After 1 day of absence...
What happened?
Also middle aged adults who keep treating teenagers like idiots who don't know anything. Many of us have great ideas for the world, but no one will accept them!!!
Great video guys! I'm 19 and in college and still feel all of these reasons! Like the awkwardness and especially acne!
This is honestly one of the best videos on the internet.
I just found this channel today, and it's one of the best things I've ever found.
His red hands are so distracting
Thanks for making me unable to unsee it
+Sarah Roberts Yes!!! i was looking to them all the time
Yeah, what is that?
I was keeping seeing that
Sarah Roberts RIGHT?
I’m turning 20 tomorrow. Thanks for making my teen years better with your videos Jordan!
This is so accurate and well-written! Nice job Josh Taylor and Hannah Musgrove!!
1. When I was in Public School, this happened ALL THE TIME-- not JUST in middle school, but in elementary school. Someone makes one person upset, then they say "WE'RE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE YOU MEANIE" and then, well, I was always stuck in the middle of probably 45+ friends, trying to help each situation, because being in elementary school and seeing so many people upset made ME upset.
2. Never had Prom, never will, I'm sticking with homeschool. Not interested in dancing since that one time I was in elementary school and we went to this big 5th grade graduation party, I slipped on something, and fractured my wrist. Now I never ever want to do it again ever.
3. "I cannot stand drama!" I heard that all the time. And then they'd get into more of it. Eventually I couldn't stand it anymore and so the last day of school for me I was like, "Guys, I'm homeschooling." "Why?" "We're moving (and I'm really just done with this unnecessary drama)."
4. Since I eat organically, and eat to my metabolism and such, I don't have much acne whatsoever. My face is usually pretty okay, except since I'm also cleansing my body, I've gotten two huge boils, but it's okay, as long as it doesn't hurt. I don't really care if it's there or not-- I'm in fact intrigued and fascinated by puss and blackheads. xD
5. I don't date.
6. If God has no expectations for me or others; I'll be the same. That's just how it goes for us!
7. I used to be pretty awkward, especially if I run out of things to talk about, but I'm actually pretty okay at making a conversation, even though I don't have that many friends left... and most of those friends have moved onto other things like Sherlock or Doctor Who, while I'm still sitting here with Pokemon, Kirby, and other stuff that I play and do.
I personally feel really blessed to be who I am now; the devil used to make me think that being a teenager stunk because every adult or elder would think that we're just kids who don't know what their doing or we're ungrateful. But I learned (and am still learning) that that's not what people think of me.
Ooh, welcome back Audibles! I think... I think I almost MISSED it!
Wait, did you actually show us a scene from the next episode?? That always catches me off guard.
Lol no that's just for fun XD I watch these every week and it's always the same
That's what I'm saying. Its usually a joke. But this time I think it was actually real.
Joe Repp Well Josh did say on the podcast that the next one would be 'In everything but God we trust' so it seems likely that it could be!
Hmmm maybe so, I guess we shall have to wait and see
I'm stuck binge-watching Blimey cow, and I CAN'T GET OUT!!!!
This is all so true. WHY MUST BEING A TEENAGER BE SO HARD? I MEAN SERIOUSLY I JUST WANT TO SIT AROUND AND READ BOOKS AND WATCH TV. AND BE HAPPY IN MY LITTLE WORLD OF ANTISOCIAL.
I can so relate to drama like my crush breaking up with me, and friends being annoying. It stresses me out so much. I am under so much pressure. Thanks for the video
LOVE THIS!! Especially prom, acne and the expectations!!!
The "expectations" one was the BEST! I have felt this way!
Jordan you get usssssssssss. Thankyou so much for creating this video!!
I'm a senior, graduating in June, and I've never been to a prom, never had hardly a friend, much less a girlfriend... and I gotta say, sometimes my life looks so much better compared to others, when you put it in the ways that you guys did. The nice thing about staying farther away from people is that less drama happens. Sure it can get lonely but, hey! God is never far away when I need him.
I do agree with the whole expectations thing. The number one question asked to me: "So what do you plan on doing next? You have any colleges picked out?" (Okay, that was two. :P) Seriously, why do people think you have a college picked out. I'm interested in computer science, preferably programming, and so I really want to go to college for that, but darnit I don't have a clue about anything past high school! I will admit, though, that's probably my favorite thing about high school, how you know what's expected of you. I mean, you take required classes, maybe some electives, but other than that it's all planned out for you.
As for awkwardness, I find that if you're the one who made it awkward, then you're the one with the one-up. If you choose to make it awkward, or it just so happened to fall that way, you can rest easy and make the situation not awkward for you by making it even more awkward. At least, that's what I find. ;)
Anyway, if you made it to this point, gg. You know a bunch of pointless information about me, expressed via a way-too-long CZcams comment! Now continue your comments reading. :) #introvertsunite
Kelly's hair looks really nice :)
I think I need to join the AAA group.....
It's called Adler Davidson's channel
Your videos make my heart go thump! Just the laugh I need whenever I'm on CZcams! :)
The friends not liking each other is so true. I had a birthday party and the tension was palpable. I invited people who didn't really like each other. It was so hard.
This channel is great!
I am soooooo glad I'm not a teen anymore. I look back on my teen years and just shake my head.
Can definitely relate to the friend drama. My two best friends expected me to choose a side, but instead I just said "you'll be talking again tomorrow, this is silly."
Awesome job guys! And Kelly I really love your shirt :)
So relatable! Loved this video:)
Lol. All of this is making me want to stop dating and I'm a sophomore
And you are doomed if you are a late-bloomer. Your friends will not let you listen to their topics which involve boyfriends, sex, and other stuff related to sex. :( They will call you a kid and ignore you, because you are into books, video games, Harry Potter, and fantasy etc.. That sucked for me..but now that I am 21, I don't care anymore. :D
I’m 18 and I still love books and Disney and stuff LOL, never dated and sometimes I feel like an 8 year old in an 18 year olds body
Why are 16 years old except to know what they want to do for a job in future
Great video. I also liked that you made it known you can be awkward in your twenties too. I don't feel physically awkward like I did in my teenage years but I feel just as socially awkward. Some things never change and I doubt my awkwardness does as well.
Thank you for this video!!
Love this! It's sooooo true. And it sad how true this is.
Omg yes on the expectations thing. Ever since i turned 15 people have been like "so what college are you going to? Oh you don't know? Well then....Good luck working at McDonalds when you are 30"
So true!!
"why do you expect anything from me? not even i do that?" thats what i always what to say
Yeah, sadly that gets worse the older you get. I'm in my last years of high school and they are basically squishing you like a bug with that kind of thing. They expect you to already know what you want to do for the rest of your life. They tell you that you already need to be started on your career or you will be at McDonalds the rest of your life.
I at this point am not planning to go to college, I can teach myself what I need to know for free
(teenager here)
From the adult's perspective here..... They have a sucessful life (the adults), that means they haven't experienced today's teenagers options for college. So, they give the advice to the teenagers thinking that they're helping as if they have a child in their hands, which they're not and adds stress to teenagers they're talking to.
I agree with all of this. I have two friends who are & were very immature and they just thought, "Oh were perfect for each other!" Not even two weeks later, they broke up.
And now I haven't heard from either of them in like a month..
LOVE U BLIMEY COW GO MESSY MONDAYS
I just love how my friends have drama and all the dating crap, I'm scared to even tell anyone who I like.
My friend introduced me to your channel somewhat recently, and I just want to comment to say thank you, whether you see this comment or not. I have had a rough week and I've been praying and reading the bible, but I really appreciate this channel because a lot of the time, I wind up using social media as an outlet. And it's really difficult as a Christian in this day and age to find something funny and lighthearted to watch which also doesn't have some sort of material that makes you feel a little off spiritually. Although, a lot of the videos are sarcastic, I still feel safe coming to this channel. And it really brightened my day today. It gives me hope that there are youtubers out there who can still come up with comical material still with certain moral overtones. Just thank you. Because when you watch certain things, it may be funny and make you forget troubles for a while, but it can also cloud the mind and make you forget to leave everything at the feet of Jesus in prayer.
Yeeees can someone please explain to me why the hell it feels like you're the only person that has acne. Is it just not that noticeable to people whether you have acne or am I just being out of the loop again and everyone is just using some product to cover it up?
No, I know of one of my friends that has acne, and it isn't even bad. none of my friends wear makeup and they called me crazy for doing it but I do cover mine up because I have severe cystic acne... gross, I know..
I think it's because we're all so critical of ourselves, even with really little things that we don't notice in others. So, the guy sitting next to you probably thinks his acne is horrible and doesn't even notice yours.
very relatable, thanks Jordan
Love this... it's so true!
I was about to click the like button, but then I saw that I already had. Telltale sign of a great video. =)
I'm so glad I'm homeschooled, although I have had a bit of drama. I thought school was a place for learning, turns out it's the main social center of young people's lives. I'm glad I can learn things at home, where I don't have the pressure of unnecessary social interaction.
i agree... esp with the dating part. I personally have never been on a date, but i do know most teens date a lot and its stupid to think that everyone needs a bf or gf by the time they are 14.
Yay bloopers are back:) Please keep them? Along with more messyges. Thank you!!
YES! Another thing I can relate too! Do you guys think you can do "5 Reasons Why Being a Teenager is the Best"? K thanks! ^^...Sorry, that's my AAA talking.
The friend group thing is true! I had so much drama with friends in the 10th grade.
Man, that made me feel better CX
Love your hair Kelly!
I was homeschooled, so no Prom (and I was perfectly happy with that!), but the rest of this couldn't be more true! Gosh, at 24, I still have plenty of awkward moments that make me want to crawl in a dark corner and hide. I really don't like that everyone expects us to have everything together. All I want to do is have fun with my friends without the judgement. :/ And by the way, working with youth ministry and watching all those teenagers go through the same thing gives you sympathy awkwardness. O.O Thank you for making this!
love it how everyone expects you to know everything and then they treat you like you incompetent
Nothing is worse than hearing someone complain having ONE pimple. Like its horrible and awful. No. Just shut up.
HI! I'm Rachel! And I'm All Around Awkward!
Hi Rachel...
Was he serious about that awkward club right?
............. It's not happening is it?
Game Maker prob just sarcasm again.
Hi I'm Sydney and I'm all around awkward.
The part about Prom! So true!
Oh wait and . . . all of it. Soooo true.
So relieved to hear the part of about prom and dating, since I never had the guts to ask a girl to prom or to a date.
This is so accurate, especially prom and acne. Oh the good old days!
One of my friends was always causing drama!!! It got so annoying! And most of my friends have gotten boyfriends at least twice! At lunch, me and 5 of my friends were talking about how we don't even need to know what we want to do for the rest of our lives when in college!
Man. SO true about expectations.
The Dating reason was so accurate, for me..... except most of the kids in my class are 12 and think they know what they're doing.
Love this!!
THANK YOU SO much for this!! there is also 1 more thing:
-Being a teenager can actually be a bit boring; It's not all teenage movies make it out to be!! Everyday can be pretty samey lool
And thank you for the 'awkward' thing. Amen to that! In my 20's and still going through that lol :-')
The ad at the end when kelli was talking made me scared for a bit but realized i heard and read wrong. I thought she said "fifty shades of gray"
"People expect you to act like an adult but you still feel like an idiot! " I totally relate to this hahahahahahahha
These videos always make me laugh so hard and make me feel better about myself
Downton Abbey and Pride and Prejudice was mentioned! I know both of them … Good one.
Dating is stupid, everyone breaks-up in High School. Also I'm 15 and I'm trying to come-up with a career path I want to go on and it's Video Game Developing but that kind of work is HARD! So I got to work hard.
That was perfect, and exactly what I was thinking about today!
5:08 when he got to the thing about expectations I was like YESSSSS PREACH IT!!!!!!!!
Winnipeg Jets at 3:38!! Yay for Canadian hockey!!
Early twenties aren't so good for awkward either...it just gets worse. Be Warmed!
mmm...yes ill be warmed :P
This is so true... And I've got 5 more years of this!! Loved the vid :)
2:12 .........OMG THANK FINALLY I CAN HEAR SOMEONE HEAR THE WONDERFUL TRUTH ABOUT DATING...DATING .IN .HIGH SCHOOL .IS .POINTLESS .AND .STUPID.
