Pics That Prove Teens Are Worse Than Toddlers
Children are a handful through all stages of life. You have their infancy, in which they are pretty much helpless; you have their terrible twos and the other joys of toddlerhood; then you have their middle school years where they start to get sassy and don't think they need you—and then you end up with teenagers.
Teenagers are their own ball game because now those children have become sort-of-adults, and they're trapped between acting like children and being a grown-up. Hint: They don't do either very well.

See? This is what I mean. Any chance a teenager gets, they will use it to make themselves and someone else the center of attention. Her sister isn't the only one who is going to look foolish with this sign.
What A Thoughtful Gift
Really, the wrapping just makes the whole thing come together. You can feel the love and patience that went into creating this beautiful present for their mother. I'm sure she's going to love it.

Imagine that your teenager was so obsessed with someone she was never going to meet that she threw a fake wedding for herself with cardboard cutouts? Really? It's absolutely wild.

That's Actually Pretty Impressive
One of the greatest things about teenagers is seeing how talented they are, and where they are going to excel in life. Usually, we learn these things by watching them use their talents in stupid ways.

Imagine opening up a box thinking that you're going to be getting some nice new shoes and instead it's just a giant snake chilling in a box. Let's hope they find that snake a good home.

Those Are Some...Grades
That is a real mixed report card he's got there. The A is great, but it somehow becomes less impressive when it's sitting next to a D. He looks proud, so there is that.
Teenagers Can Be Funny
Like, this is pretty much hilarious. This is something that they will look back on in their college days and laugh at, not a stupid yearbook quote about bodily functions.
That's Not Subtle At All
This teacher isn't joking around anymore. They've had it and they're calling this student out on how they spend their time in class. They better get used to it—the world isn't a nice place all the time.
Of All The Times To Be Pulled Over

But that won't come until they're close to 30. Until then, they're going to push buttons and defy logic all for the sake of just doing so because they can.
They Try To Be Deep About Things
When teenagers start forming their own opinions about the world, they end up in some pretty weird headspaces, and it's important to be mindful of that. Don't judge them too harshly for certain things.

There is a good chance that their parents know and they just can't be bothered. Or, they're playing a long con waiting game to see if they can hold out longer than their kid.
Again With The Food Everywhere
Pasta of any kind is not the food you eat in your room, especially when you have a white carpet. I mean, come on, that should have been a no-brainer.
They Can Get A Little Conceited
Teenagers love to live their life thinking that they're angels on Earth and we are all blessed to be in their company. Of course, people who love their kids do feel that way—but don't let it get to their heads.
It's Not Like She Needed Those
So in this house, there is a constant shortage of tea towels, but an abundance of regular towels, so in the end it kind of works out? Why would you pick a tea towel, though? They're not nearly as nice.
They Get Up To No Good With Their Friends
Kids always think that the friends they have grown up will be the same friends that they have forever, and sadly that isn't the case. When you're really lucky it is, but not always.

I Was Concerned For A Second
"Waiting at the light when my teenage son says, 'someday I want to have my own taco, Ma.' It took me three more lights before I finally got it."
For context, he meant the truck and not that his only dream in life is to own a single taco.
"If You're Looking For A Maid, I Can't Do That"

Imagine how old this person felt when the teenage cashier thought this was fake a bill. It's hard to imagine, in the age of debit cards and online banking, that they still even bother making paper bills that can be lost or torn apart.
"The Funniest Tip A Teenager Has Ever Left Me"
I cannot decide if they didn't want to leave a big tip because they just got their first real paycheck and want to hold on to every last dollar, if they only had 15 bucks and didn't have any change, or if they simply couldn't calculate the tip. All viable options.
Just The Drop-Off Fee
A teenage son forgot his dress shirt for a presentation, so the dad dropped it off at the office in a Playtex box. If he's going to have to go through the work of bringing it, he might as well have a little fun with it.

You cannot trust teenagers around food. They will eat whatever is in their vicinity because they're just always hungry. If you don't warn them about it, they consider it fair game. Let that be your own warning.
A Little Off-Brand...But It's The Thought That Counts

"Look! They Started Making Teenage Mannequins"
If that's not an accurate representation of every teenager's attitude ever, I don't know what is. Let's be honest, though, for a second: that's how we all feel on the inside as adults, too. We just hide it better.
The Best Kind Of Apology Is The Edible One
Here's a good question for teachers: would they be okay with a teenage student showing up late to class every single day if it meant that they got a giant cake as an apology at the end of the year? This teacher appreciated it, at least.
They Raised Her Right
Sometimes, seeing how teens deal with tough situations can actually be quite rewarding. This parent should pat themselves on the back for having given their daughter the confidence to know that she'd be fine without her boyfriend.
Since she and her boyfriend broke up shortly after prom, she decided to get creative with the picture.
