Teenage angst is the feeling of the “ugh-I'm-so-misunderstood-what-is-life?” part of adolescence.
By definition, angst is a feeling of anxiety about your life or situation.
Why do you think teen angst is so common in today's teenagers?
What solutions can you recommend in dealing with this state of mind?
Explain.
I think that teen angst is common in today's teenagers because of all the technologies and all the stuff that we can do and we don't because of school. We say"whet is life" because we prefer spending life on our phones on Instagram and stuff than learning stuff and doing work. I think maybe we should have a bigger break during the day and not working as much so that when it comes to the time to learn we actually do that.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Technology can stress us
DeleteAgreed, life now a days are all on technology and it can be very stressful
DeleteAngst in common in today's society and many teens feel it. We do feel misunderstood by our parents because although they say they know what' were feeling but sometimes they really don't. We feel lost and it's normal as teens to feel this way and with time we feel more in place. Therapy is a good solution because it gives you a chance to talk through your emotions.
ReplyDeleteyes therapy is a good way to solve these problems
Deletei agree, therapy sounds like a good solution
DeleteI really don't agree, therapy is bs.
DeleteIt is a common factor of puberty in teens to go through rapid mood swings and can easily get disappointed from little things, a way to deal with this is to talk with someone like a parent, a school counselor or older sibling too. I feel other people when they say they are misunderstood especially with parents since they were from a much older generation. They grew up in the 60's 70's and those times were much different for them, and my dad lived alone since he was 16, and he was so happy then so he didn't really go through this kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteYep pretty much, a more scientific look upon the subject.
DeleteI think that teenage angst is something that most teenagers go through because it's just part of growing up. We feel as though, our parents don't understand what we're going through when in reality, they kind of do, because as they say, "We were teenagers once too" which is true, but I think the reason we feel this way is because most parents just dismiss it because they think it's just normal teenage stuff. But we have emotions that we don't know how to deal with, and we need support to help us go through it.I think a good way to deal with it is to talk to someone about it, and to try to solve the problem.
ReplyDeleteIt is part of growing up and it is a good idea to talk to someone even if it is a friend who knows what you're going through or a teacher you feel close to or a guidance counselor.
DeleteI think that teenage angst is so common in today for different reasons. One of them is because since were growing up we face many different things and when stuff gets difficult we just start to think everything is useless therefor we say, “what is life”. One solution I can recommend is either to talk to someone such as a very understanding person or going to therapy.
ReplyDeleteWell it's common now because we are growing up. We are discovering new things about the world most of which we don't understand. We are so close yet so far to the future and it makes teenagers stressed about their future. Often, teenagers feel alone in there situtation or like nobody understands them because life gets harder and you start to notice the little things that begin to bother you and the people who bother you and sometimes not everyone is going to get it so teenagers feel alone. As well as now a days all people have is fights and beef and it causes stress and makes you feel alone. Honestly, everyone goes through it. You can't do much beside get inspired by something and someone that's what helps me. Look forward to the future and just live everyday and do what you want and what makes you happy. Cut out the toxic people in your life and make your surroundings nothing but positive.
ReplyDeleteAngst is common amongst teenagers. I think that's because we're still trying to figure out all the new things and opportunities that are being presented to us. We also have to start planning our futures choosing courses to get into this and this program, to get this job. That's really stressful especially if you don't know what you want to do but you have to plan for it, its complicated. We also all have different home lives and responsibilities and situations, it's hard to understand that you have to start coping with all these things. To understand that your parents can't make all your decisions for you. You have to become self sufficient it's a big change. You can however talk to someone who can help you organize your life a little and give you some support and peace of mind.
ReplyDeleteI think angst is common for teenagers because some don't like how they look, some get stressed about school and they freak out, others are maybe to shy to do anything so they're stressed, also home and family situations can bring lots of unhappiness or anxiety. I think a solution for this is to really just take it easy, don't think about what's bothering you, focus on the good in your life, and keep yourself busy.
ReplyDeletei agree stressed is a cause
Deleteangst is very common today because teenagers are dealing with more stressed. Dealing with school,on marks,social. teenagers deal with stressed on what's going on at home with the family. But, also teens can deal with angst out of school/home on sports, social life, work, etc.. But, don't forget your hormones are kicking in so teens are dealing with a lot of mixed feelings.
ReplyDeleteI agree, school makes a lot of teenagers angst.
DeleteI think angst (what?), is common in teens because, were usually in high school. High school is a waste of time and makes us lose sleep. Some teens are worried about what other students think of them, worried about if they're gonna get hired or not, or they're just freaking out over a test or an exam. I recommend suicide, listen to music, hang around happy people more, or become a Stan, to help with angst. Btw, a Stan, is another word for an Eminem fan.
ReplyDeleteI agree high school can be a waste of time
DeleteI think angst is something most people our age go trough because it's just a part of growing up. We often feel like the whole world is against us when it really isn't or we make little situations into really big ones. I think angst usually happens when your lacking sleep or your feeling over whelmed. Personally I think if your going trough that the best thing to do is sleep if you can. If not take deep breaths. Although this is just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI agree sleep is very important
DeleteTeenage angst is common nowadays because a lot of teens are going through a lot of shit like school. Since a lot of teenagers lack sleep this is also why. Our parents think that high school is easy but its much different now than back in their times. We have to worry about tests and homework and that can bring a lot of stress to us. A good way to stop this is i guess therapy.
ReplyDeleteI think that teenage angst is so popular in today's teenagers because of school and there social life.Because of school people get angst because they feel very stressed and pressured thinking they have to do good for a good future, which I find is true, but because of all this pressure to go study and do homework so you will have a good future makes teenagers get angst. Also some teenagers get angst because of there social life thinking that not everyone likes them or that there not popular. To deal with these problems I suggest to surround yourself with friends and go to a party and just be with people.
ReplyDeleteI agree school can be a big factor
DeleteHonestly teens these days do feel like no one understands them. It's harder now to be a teenager than it was in the 20th century, there's so many expectations on looking a certain way and having certain things. I find as the technology got more popular teens began to stop knowing how to be open and talk about there issues. So in a way parents sometimes understand but sometimes don't. It's a whole new generation with a whole bunch of new problems. I think that if you are struggling and feel talking to your parents won't help than you should definitely see someone who you think will help for example a psychologist.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I think teen angst is so much more common in our society today is because most kids today get whatever they want,everybody is spoiled these days. And I mean everyone because if u think your not given anything your wrong. Especially in our country where everything is accessible. And this is such a big cause because our parents had the total opposite. They would get whatever there parents gave them and they wouldn't complaine. Us teenagers today are never satisfied. But it's not totally our fault,our parents overreact a lot more then they should. Ways to prevent from getting into arguments with parents are to just agree with what there saying as long as it doesn't affect you.Just pretend like you care about what there saying even if you don't care about it. Overall who cares do what you think is right.
ReplyDeleteTracy Xing,
ReplyDeleteI think now teens are in a age where people are more rebellious, and we just want t do what ever we want.Teenager want to have more freedom, since parents somethings have strict rules and block your freedom, teenagers rebels. Also I think that we want to try new things even if we know the consequences.
I think that people have anxiety because of the stress. there is a lot of stress in the life of a teen. we have school ( which includes a lot of work, homework and other stuff. We also have sports and family things to deal with. and then there are the people who just pick on you because they think its funny, but then thy can actually do it too much and then your like, ugh- I'm so misunderstood ... etc.

ReplyDeleteTeen angst is so common in today's teenagers since there is so much technologie, there is a lot of pressure on teenagers to do well and achieve in so many things, there is also family problems for some teens and so much more. I think some solutions that can help out teens with dealing with this state of mind is talking to somebody or doing something that will take your mind off it such as exercising.
I believe teenage angst is very common now days because us teens are just stressed and worried about school and what other people think of us. People are always worried if they passed that history test or if they finished the science homework. Maybe some teens are really spoiled and when they're parents say no to them they become depressed and hate everything. I think some ways of dealing with angst could be to go to therapy so you could get whatever it is off your chest. If you want to save money you could talk to a really close friend or just write it down.
ReplyDeleteProbably because they have bad influences or they attempt to be cool? People are saying its technology or anxiety, but hell I don't go around cursing people off trying to be as edgy as I can and I'm somebody who lives on their computer and stresses about nearly everything. There's no "cure" it's just a matter of growing up, the majority of adults I know can all firmly say "damn I was stupid back then" or something on the lines of that, just gotta grow out of it and learn from your mistakes and stupidity.
ReplyDeleteya i agree
DeleteI agree with you
DeleteI agree with you
Deleteangst is so comon today because of too mutch preasure that our parents and our frirnds do to us i dont have anxiety but i do sometimes before a football and rugby game i just dont want to lose. im someone who ust lives how i want to live and no one in he whole world could stop me every one should be living there own life and dont let stuff get in the way
ReplyDeleteI think that teen augst is very common these days in teens lifestyle because of stress and anxiety the person can go through. They also have bad influences from their friends that can lead them to something that they never wanted to become and all of a sudden they regret everything that happened in the past because of the way they are today.

ReplyDeleteI think angst is seen a lot more now compared to the other generations. It is probably because a lot more stress and anxiety are pushed down on teenagers today. For example social media is more commonly used and anonymous people could criticize you with out mercy. I think a "cure" for teen angst is to breath, calm down and think. Doing so will relive stress and anxiety because you are thinking over the situation and now are thinking clearly.
ReplyDeleteI think teen angst is because we are always living on time. For example at the end of a school day you cant help but think great i have to go back tommorow so when you are trying to do something you want to do and others try to make you do other things it is very annoying
ReplyDeleteI think that me main reason for this is because of technology and our modern day generation because from experience everyone wants to be cool and not be the outcast and I think that technology plays a big role in this because of social media because with social media you can voice you're opinion easily and with reach out to a bigger audience so I think that no one under the age of 11 should have social media
ReplyDeleteI think the main reason for this is because we feel like the worlds against us. it's mostly part of growing up, we feel like this because not everyone's able to do what others do because their parents may not let them so they get angry, so they feel insecure and that's when the anxiety kicks in because your being paranoid weither people are judging you
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteTo me teenager are just children who look more physically mature due to puberty. The reason why teens have such a bad reputation is because when people look at one they see a young adult so they assume that they would act like one, but they aren't. It's almost like when go to see a movie with high expectations and you get disappointed because you assumed that it would be better. Bottom line is, if you look at teen as if they were as mature as they look, you would often be dissatisfied but if you look at them as if they were children you have completely different opinion towards teenagers.
ReplyDeleteAt the adolescence ages teenagers go through a lot and everyone handles their things differently. Some people don't like the way things are going so they just say life is messed up or sometimes they get frustrated that no one understand them so the thing life is messed up. I guess in such a state of mind, you should talk more about your problem with your parents or friends.
