What is it that makes teenagers think they know everything?

I don't mean this as an offensive question, as I was a ';know it all'; teenager once too.





But why do they think they know everything?What is it that makes teenagers think they know everything?
Because we do know everything! lol. Just kidding.





We get more priveleges and responsibilities, and we try to think like the adult.





We don't look at our parents like we did when we were little, ya know, like they could just say, ';It's okay.'; and it's magically okay.





We don't wanna believe that our parents went through the same situation so we don't think they understand what we're feeling when we're so upset and all they say is, ';It'll be fine.'; or ';You need to let it go.'; because it just seems easy for them to say when they're not the one experiencing the problem.





That's about the best answer I can give you.What is it that makes teenagers think they know everything?
It's a defense mechanism, what could be called the





security blanket of perceived invincibility, in a sense





it's a tragic irony, when your young you don't know





what it's like to be old, and no i don't mean 19 going





on 21, i mean 21, one day and then you look in the





mirror some day, and you don't even recognize that





person, and you gasp as you ask yourself, WTF?





where the hell did i go? . . .








And yet you get old and you know exactly what it felt





like to be young, even though your not young anymore . . .











When we're young we don't look at old people as much





as we looked through them, as though there invisible . . .








Young people are enchanted by the though of possessing





wisdom, yet totally repulsed, when they realize what





comes along with the territory, there in a constant state





of denial, through no fault of there own, for if they could





actually see them selves old, and i don't mean you were 19,





now your 21, definitely not an age qualification, i mean getting





up one morning and seeing your self at lets say, 55 or even 65





or even 70, forget it, you'd never make to 22, let alone make to





old age, due to the self inflicted cuts and lacerations, from beating the





hell out of your mirror, while seriously contemplating, suicide . . .
I don't know. I was there too though. I think that they think that their lives are so much different than that of their parents when they were teens, when in actuality they weren't. The only difference now is the technology kids have access to today.


I don't know. Teens will be teens. They just haven't experienced real life and responsibility yet.
well.. because im a teeneger ...i know the exact reason...although its hard to explain....


we think that once we go through something that we know everything about it...but the truth is ..we have only been through a small portion....so when older ppl try to tell us that we are wrong we just think ';no your wrong...ive been through it...i know all about it...'; but once we realize that we were wrong then we just learn from our mistakes....





this answer may be a tad bit confusing....but its the only way i could think to put it
They are still trying to find themselves and develop a sort of identity for themselves. It's scary growing up into a whole new world and way of life so in defense they assume they know everything so that nothing can sneak up on them and throw them off.
Because they're arrogant annoying little cusses and their parents didn't smack them around enough when they were children.
Because their parents let them think that way.
