Its a lot on poor parenting, media projection of how teens should behave and the fact that many people just tolerate the way teens behave. I have noticed there is little to no disciplinary actions for a teen vs an older person. I know not to slack off ever, it wont get me anywhere(except in the case of my old job where everyone was fucking everyone) and I always hear my parents in the back of my head saying things about how most people appreciate hard work and a well behaved person.
If you look at the way the media portrays teens today theyre all half assed rich kids who dont have to work, barely go to school and the parents pay for EVERYTHING.
Sometimes it cant be helped, but for 95% of kids it can be helped.
