Oddly enough that isn’t quite my experience. I went to university immediately after finishing school and was pleasantly surprised at how civilized and mature everyone at university was, compared to just a few months ago at school, even though many of them were still teenagers. It’s something about the environment of school that causes so many young people to behave awfully.
i suppose a large part of the misery of school is because most people who go there don’t actually want to go there, so that sets it up as a place for suffering.
in the workplace yeah the worst I’ve seen another teenager do is have their headphones in while sweeping. When they don’t have a wage tied to them however…
If their music is too loud to hear the fire alarm or other alarms. There were places that I worked that hearing an alarm would save your life. When I was a supervisor I should have said no ear buds, but that’s a bit ridiculous. So I only got on a person’s case if they had both in, a compromise. This way the teen sweeping can listen to their music and hear a hazard alarm if it happens. Workplace safety is important.
