Why are there so many ridiculous posts lately about 16-year-olds??

[ThatAmpleGuide]

I keep seeing absolutely ridiculous posts about 16-year-olds on here lately.
One parent wanted to install a camera in their teen’s bedroom because they might be vaping. Another grounded theirs for trying a vape with friends - not even owning one, just trying it. And now someone’s banning sugar after 6pm like it’s cocaine. 😂

Is there something in the water? Why is everyone suddenly losing their minds over teenagers? Is it just me or are some people completely losing perspective?

YANBU. At 16 I spent every weekend downing WKD and Smirnoff in a field while pulling bongs and listening to Heaven is a Half Pipe. Happy to say I’m a functioning, tax paying, non-addicted member of society now.

sorry @ThatAmpleGuide i was just sharing my own ridiculous teen drama and thought better of it

You do know we can still see what you wrote?

To be honest, I thought it was probably bored 16 year olds posting to get the vipers hissing. It is the summer holidays.

I was going clubbing at 16, long long time ago 😆
There is another one about rapping.

haha I just saw that one. what on earth is going on?? the parents are so ridiculously strict and they get angry over the most ridiculous things

It's the same nut job

Yep

maybe 😂 i shouldnt be saying this about trolls but some of their posts are quite funny

is there any way to IP ban them?

Gone again 😂

It's one specific troll

the easiest solution would be to IP ban them so they cant keep making new accounts

I think it the same person, I’ve just added two to my watchlist (sugar one and screen time one) and they’ve swiftly been taken down my MNHQ

😂😂😂 watch them (i shouldnt be assuming that the troll is a male so ive changed him to them) make a return. seriously do people not have better things to do?

Can you ?

its always the same style of posts as well. "My 16DS did this this and that and so I've grounded him"

click on the edited button on someones post. it shows all the previous versions of the post

My mum used to say "I'll end up in the local nut bin because of you!" I was a wild child but she didn't know half of it, and no she didn't end up either.🙄
Am a regular Jane now but still big on sex, drugs [pain relievers among others] and vegan rolls.😁

It’s all cobblers.

However, yes although I was clubbing and hanging around drinking and smoking in disused railway tunnels for laughs at 15, the world has changed.

Covid and general helicopter parenting has changed. Slightly for the better, a lot for the worse.

Gen X are both the most anxious generation and the most reliant. Freedom is a knife that cuts both ways!

Yes if we click on the edited button it shows what you originally wrote

OMFG you are right ..plz get a grip people!!

When I think about what I got up to at 16 I really worry my kids will do the same and think I'll put a tracker on them 🤔 😅. I think parents remember all the shit they did growing up and try to protect their own kids from doing the same.
