Top Ten Traits Teenagers Relate to Most
Teenagers tend to struggle with the responsibilities and facets of life the more they grow - as a result, they become stressed by the pressure from school, peers, etc. If you are one of those struggling teens, congratulations, you are not alone. From the positive to the negative traits, here are some of the common traits that teenagers tend to possess.
The pressure from school and homework, part-time jobs, life goals, and money if they're older, combined with haywire hormones. Pretty much a common trait that can be seen in almost all teenagers at some point. Life can be pretty tough for everyone, can't it?
I am so anxious at school but loosen up around friends and certain teachers.
You'll notice that online, most teenagers hanging around the internet are socially awkward in real life. Sure, they can be chatty online, but they might not say a word to anyone unfamiliar in real life, even if the person they're talking to happens to be their online friend.
I usually feel awkward when talking to people I have never talked to. I'm also socially awkward, but I'm more chatty with close friends. When I was a teenager, I was more awkward than I am now, though.
Something that nowadays a lot of teenagers, young adults, and even preteens tend to label themselves as when they are feeling down. While this is true for some, most teenagers who label themselves as depressed often associate depression with short-term sadness and use this for excessive attention seeking and as an excuse on the internet.
It's pretty unlikely that you'll really be depressed and just shout "I have depression" to strangers on the internet out of pride. It's pretty much a "relatable" trait.
Ah yes, especially when they are in their early teens. These teens often stick to dark humor, wear black, follow trends, etc. Remember when being "emo" was a trend back in the 2000s?
This is a common trait that most depressed teenagers seem to possess. You can tell if they are genuinely happy or not. Some teenagers can hide their inner sadness really well, so it's sometimes difficult to tell. It's a good sign for them to seek help if they can.
One of the most relatable traits. People who are chill usually listen to soothing music genres such as lo-fi, vaporwave, hip-hop, etc., and engage in aesthetics, as well as sitting down on the couch watching Netflix and spending their time on social media.
Notice in your high school, almost every class has the quiet kid. Their silence can be pretty intimidating, and some push their quietness to the next level to the point they don't utter a word for a semester or longer. If you happen to be one of the quiet kids and accidentally play "Pumped Up Kicks" during class, good luck.
Although this may be stereotyped, most teenagers are lazy at times, and it can be connected to being tired. It's a common trait, but it isn't always like that.
I can find myself perfectly in this, although I'm not so lazy that I never go outside. Especially on a rainy day when I'm home, I don't do a lot.
As they want to become more independent, a teenager being rebellious is usually a sign of growing independence and is sometimes connected to condescending parents. Early teenagers often think they know everything but may lack experience. It's one of the teenage traits that are stereotyped but can be true for some.
A trait that is pretty much understandable, especially during high school years with the pressure of homework. Bonus points if they're working part-time.
As teenagers grow, they gain more responsibilities and want to do more as adults do. They are more likely to be independent and do things on their own, rarely staying kiddy in their teenage years.
However, some early teenagers tend to grow up too fast mentally, becoming more likely to be involved with drugs, sex, etc. Some may choose to have a child as early as 15-17, but most realize they are incapable of doing so due to lack of experience or money (though this stereotype does not apply to all teenagers).
It is natural that teenagers want more freedom and independence, and the internet shows more of that, although most teenagers don't go further than that. If you tend to be one of those teenagers, keep it steady, don't get involved in activities that may harm you just to be cool, and enjoy your life.
This is very true for most, if not all, teenagers. We all experienced blue days at one point.
Most teenagers tend to be clumsy as they grow quickly, making their bodies not used to their height, which makes them more vulnerable to accidents.
It seems common for teenagers to dismiss mainstream stuff for more obscure interests to look "hipster," not for genuinely liking those things but for some kind of social superiority.
