My culture teenagers

In my culture teenagers are  misundertood  but  I think it is the  same  in most cultures around the  Word.
Adolescence is  a period of fundamental changes for  the youth and  I think that the older generations are rigid and don't try to understand these changes.
They completely forget that once they were teens, they only try to  be representatives of responsible adults.
According to  them at least in my culture, adolescents are  totally  immature,irresponsible. They also think they are potential social failures, criminals and drug-addicts.
In my  culture  teenagers are  not seriously considered , nobody take care of  their opinion till they get married ,  have a  job and children.
The  culture of  the youth is very rich and interesting, it's open to  the word and to  all people.
So the older generations shoud take the opportunity to  make profit of this wealth  !
