30 People Share Cringe Things High Schoolers Do While Thinking It’s Cool

ADVERTISEMENT

As we grow and develop, our perspectives and opinions tend to change, often making us view some things completely differently than we used to; and that applies to everything, from favorite pasta to reading books, and beyond.

One common thing that people tend to view differently as children is people themselves. When you’re a kid, a 20-something-year-old might seem like they know what they’re doing, when you’re a teen, a 35-year-old might look old, and when you’re a freshman in high school, seniors might appear to be so much cooler than they often are.

Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community discussed views similar to the latter, after one user asked them what was something that seems cool in the eyes of most high schoolers but is actually cringe. Fellow redditors came up with many answers, including “high schoolers” themselves, so scroll down to find them and see what other things people have grown out of or into as they closed the awkward chapter of the high school years.

30 People Share Cringe Things High Schoolers Do While Thinking It's Cool Worrying what other people think. The concept of “cool” in the first place.

My brother and I (in our early 30s) were watching a group of teenagers trying so hard to put on this cool, unemotional facade at Disneyland while everyone else around them just enjoyed themselves and we were laughing to ourselves that teenagers are so afraid of displaying emotion or passion and nobody else cares. But we all went through it, and we all reach the realization that it’s more fun to just enjoy ourselves.

I had a grade 9 math class in a portable (basically a trailer outside the school because they had run out of real classrooms) so there was a seemingly sense of more freedom because we weren't in the actual school. My teacher, I hate to say it, was ripe for young jerks to make fun of - picture the principal from Billy Madison. It was a basic math class, people just taking the class because we had to. The class was complete chaos. The whole semester I don't think we learned much of anything about math. He was nice to me. I wasn't one of the trouble-makers. But I still feel terrible about it all. Young and stupid. He never got mad at the verbal assaults against him, the non stop chatter, and people not paying attention...he just nervously laughed and tried to get everyone back on track. It never worked. He was a nice man just trying to do his job. I hate my classmates. He died a few years ago - I wish I could say I'm sorry for what he went through.

This feels progressively out of place as you move into your 30s and beyond.

How is it helpful to have an entire list dedicated to saying how cringey teenagers are, when I think it's commonly understood that should be the one time in our lives when we should receive a little more grace for being that way. Teen hormones are rough, peer pressure is rough, high school is rough. Give em a break.

While I do agree with most of what is said on this post, I'm in my 40's and really the majority of this is things that are listed are not that bad. I find most kids I come across to be a lot more tolerant and accepting than my generation was. Yeah there are jerks, but there always are jerks. Things change. They always do - and that makes me happy. Better for kids to be doing what they want for a little while before they realize the world of hurt they are inheriting.

How is it helpful to have an entire list dedicated to saying how cringey teenagers are, when I think it's commonly understood that should be the one time in our lives when we should receive a little more grace for being that way. Teen hormones are rough, peer pressure is rough, high school is rough. Give em a break.

I agree with BrookeBT, but also almost all of these (there are a few exceptions of course) adults still do. It appears some BPers are in denial that these things change but there are lots of cringey adults out there.

While I do agree with most of what is said on this post, I'm in my 40's and really the majority of this is things that are listed are not that bad. I find most kids I come across to be a lot more tolerant and accepting than my generation was. Yeah there are jerks, but there always are jerks. Things change. They always do - and that makes me happy. Better for kids to be doing what they want for a little while before they realize the world of hurt they are inheriting.

It sounds like a lot of these "adults" had boring teenage years.

"Aren't people who are trying to figure out who they are and how they fit into the world just so embarrassing?"

Fighting is another one. It may be on the list, but BP won't always let me see half of the posts. This one I couldn't see the last 26. I hate when that happens.
