As a teen I hated every one that was different. Communist, French, blacks, Democrats, country music singers and the people that listened to the music. The worst thing you could do to someone was to call them gay. I hung out with others with the same opinions. We objectified women. The only thing we respected was a nice of tits and a good pair of legs.
We were cruel to each other and worse to outsiders. We went out of our way to be trouble makers. We were mostly aimless with no thought for the future. We did not know where we fit into society.
We changed. Most of my old buddies are fathers. Many are very conservative and are pro-police. Most I would call good citizens. In other words we grew up.
All that being said, I do think teens are more aggressive today. I think the speed of life today is also much greater.
