Self-Absorbed

A lot of people say that teenagers are self absorbed and don't care about anything but themselves. Do you agree or disagree?

I believe that some teenagers are self absorbed, and only want to think about themselves. Because most of them dont even care what other people have to say. And some people dont even acknowledge that some kids are even on this planet. all they care about is how their hair looks or if this dress makes me look fat. i know how on this blog a lot of people complimented each other but for those self absorbed people they just want to be the person getting the compliments and they dont even bother giving them. So i do believe that teenagers are self absorbed

yea im 100% with dan on this one. Teenagers never think of anyone else unless they try really hard to focus on others and i will admit i can be self absorbed sonmetinmes and im not proud of it but i will work on that. When you only think of yourself you are hurting others because they may need someone to pay attention to them and they need a shoulder but since we are all looking in our mirrors the size of Texas we cant see the ones in pain.

I think Dan's right. Some teenagers are self absorbed, and only think about themsleves. Others, don't care what everyone else thinks about them and seem like they're self absorbed, but really aren't.
I 100% agree with Jess too. We need to be a little less self absorbed and help others. I just don't see why everything always has to be about ourselves. I mean, if someone had said something to Peter instead of only caring aobut themselves and their friends and had gone and made Peter their Hippopotamus then maybe Peter wouldn't have done it.

I agree with what julez said, if teenagers werent as self absorbed as they are maybe Peter would of gotten some attention. And then Peter wouldnt of thought that everybody hated him and done the thing he did.

I really agree but don't agree. Yes it would be good if people were less self absorbed, and thought about other people. Than on the other hand if they don't care about what other people said than that is just something good about yourself. You should have some confidence in your body no matter what.

I totally disagree! We care about alot of things! I care about things and I know alotta teens do. People just don't know what it was like to be a teen and care about things.

I think it just depends on the kind of person you are. All teens are different, obviously. Sometimes when I'm talking to someone it is all about them, which can be kind of annoying. However, with others there always asking questions about me and how I'm doing and not telling me all about them. Me, I don't think of myself as self absorbed ALL the time, but I may and not realize it. I try hard not to be, but sometimes I can't control it and I need to work on that. But, again, it does depend on who you are and it gets me angry how adults see a few teenagers being like that... and now apparently to them ALL teenagers are like one another.

I think some teenagers can be very self absorbed. I know i can be sometimes. But i wouldn't say that some of us "Dont care about anything but ourselves". I mean some teenagers are like that, but i don't think people should classify ALL teens as being self absorbed.

I believe that teens do care about each other especially the ones they love. If you truly love them you will do anything in your power to keep them safe even if they don't love you back due to that. Sometimes I feel like I didn't do something good enough for someone else. Some times teens get caught up in protecting and caring about someone so much that they start to go to far and start limiting their liberties and that can lead to that person not wanting to be apart of you anymore, but thats what hurts the most cause all you were trying to do is make sure that they are safe and not doing anything you don't want them to do. I just hope that if anybody feels that way I want you to know that I'm sorry that if I made it so hard to the point that you couldn't deal with me anymore and you could forgive me. I will conclude this with I care and try to protect some people so much that it may effect the relationship between us, but thats just me cause I don't want anything bad to happen to you because thats the last thing I want to see because I love them. ):MATT:(

i think teenagers can be self absorbed. once they do something horrible its hard to change it. no matter how much they love someone in the end when they cant do it anymore it can be selfish. i know i regret some decesions ive made. but i know its too late to go back.

Do teens really have a chance to be self-absorbed? I think a majority of time is spent just trying trying to "fit in" and self-absorption seems apparent. Most of the teens I know are looking for their place in the world while holding on to the dimming light of childhood.

actuallt that is very true mr.g teens always have to fit in somewhere and they are thinking about everyone else and how they can be like them all we think about is everyone elses feelings and how we can be like them and feel whjat they feel and wear what they wear.

I think that teens can be self absorbed but its not who they truley are. Like mr g said, most of the time people are too busy being self absobed in what they can do to fit in, not being themselves. Every teen is self absorbed in a way. i mean, i know i am at times. i take more time working on myself in the morning than helping my mom pack three lunches in the morning in less than a half hour where we all eat totally different things. i want to help her out but usually i wake up too late in the morning to help. but in middle school, sometimes you have to put yourself first before others so thats how teens become self absorbed.

I think there are alot of teenagers that are self absorbed but there are aso alot of them who arent but there also are some that have no one to care about because either they dont have any siblings or the people that they did care about either died or did something to them and if they have parents their parents might beat them or something along those line and they probably dont get along with any body in school but i think any body else other than that shouldnt have any body caring about them, but every one should have at least five people that they care about

Hm... how to word this one... Teens are unstable beings. As we start to mature, we begin worrying more. We look at the world of adults and say, "Holy sh**! How the f*** am I going to survive that?!" (Pardon my French, but that's how we talk.) When we worry, we start going within ourselves. In a way, this is a good thing. We can decipher who we are. In other ways, this is bad. Most teens still care about the world outside of themselves, but are too worried to do anything about it. There are some who manage to remain awake, instead of hibernation in the shell of puberty, but they are a minority. They are the lucky ones who already knew who they were, and what life was going to be like. Maybe if we were all like they were, we would be looked at as actual people, instead of crabs that are hiding from the world outside.

I think some teenagers are self absorbed. But I don't think all of them are. The ones that are self absorbed just hide it inside of them that they do care about their family and freinds.Some are just scared of what is to come when they are adults.Even thougth I think that one time in everyones life you get a little self absored with your self and your scared of the real world.

i think most teenagers are self absorbed, but many are not..but the ones that are, are most likely just scared that if they think about someone else they will just get screwed over in the long run
