Getting your first job is really awkward because people make a weird face when you say that this is going to be your first job. It's stupid because how many jobs do people expect a 16 or 17 year old to have had? They have to start somewhere.
I haven't worked anywhere, but that sounds ridiculous. Are most teenagers even working?
Fairley
Yes, you're expected to get a job around the time you turn 15. All of my friends either have a job or are looking for one.
***** Wow, I wish people were that nice around where I live. Almost every employer where I live wants you to have some sort of job experience before hiring you. It's a catch 22.
*****
Yeah, I try to volunteer where I can. I do loads of stuff around my church, and help out with children's events, e.t.c. I almost got a job because the potential employer was impressed with all of my volunteer experience, but then somebody with job experience came around and he hired them instead.
I volunteer at the library, which isn't the same thing, of course, but it's gotten me interested in the profession :)
You forgot to mention that everyone treats you like a kid while they expect you to act like an adult
FUCK YESSS!! OMG
evan reyes MG, yes...
Truer words have never been said, like holy crap
ten thousand billion percent this. It drives me crazy.
Exactly. Parents are the biggest offender with this. My parents just started charging me rent but they also demand I'm home by 10 every night. Look, if you're going to charge me rent, and make me buy half of my food, than it's no longer reasonable for you to try and give me a curfew.
Lol, sorry I needed to vent.
I don't have friends, it's much easier this way.
but keep 1 or 2 within town in case something fun comes up :)
I have literally zero friends because I moved recently and because I'm introverted I've always had this small friend group; so that completely changed. And honestly, even introverted, its *_REALLY_* hard, and super lonely. Like , on my phone sitting alone at lunch just feels terrible. I don't understand how someone could _want_ to have zero friends.
Another thing I hate about being a teenager is that I am not allowed to complain about one small thing without adults instantly disregarding me as just another "edgy, moody, hormonal teenager". Honestly, it's like I can't have a bad day without the puberty card being thrown in my face by some angry adult.
They just don't want to take responsibility for their own actions. If you have an argument and they throw the hormone card at you then they just don't want to face the fact that arguments are always caused by two parties ^^.
Quite the immature adults you have around you xD
jay k yes! It’s so annoying! Turn it’s probably worse if you’re a girl because people think it’s your period.
(teenager here)
Playing as the adult, I'd think they'd react to teenagers like that, because they don't have time to think twice of their reactions with the limited free time they have (with work, family tine, etc.) and instead generalize teenagers
Yeah
I didn't go toy senior prom because I don't know a girl that I wanted to ask, I don't like dancing in a room full of people who are grinding all over each other, and I had better things to do with my money. Everybody at school today said they hated it on Saturday.
Holler at not going to prom and not regretting it for second
I didn't need a date to enjoy my senior prom I went with friends and had a blast and all I had to pay for was a ticket which was like 50$ and a dress for 30$. I didn't want to go til 3 weeks before and I'm glad I changed my mind because looking back on it 3 years later it was the second best night of my high school days next to graduation. It's sad that so many people think you need a date to have fun at prom or in general, and that you have to spend a bunch of money as well when you don't.
"Just so, so many reasons that nobody could have seen coming."
I lost it there. Oh, so true.
I never went to prom... I never had a date... I never knew what I wanted to do with my life... and I regret nothing!
Another thing that I hate as a teenagers is how everyone expect you to be on your way of having a driving licence . EVERYONE .
Yes
Vincent Bédard yeah so true I waited until after school to get my drivers whilst most of my friends got their license during school oh well 💁🏽 theres no rush to get you're license 🙅🏼🙅🏼🙅🏼
My friends the day after i get my learners: "So have you driven around yet?"
Me: "No its winter. Roads are icy, so i don't want to learn in these conditions and my parents don't want to pay insurance and neither do I. "
My friends: "Really? Lame."
I don't get the need to just jump right into things.
Haha my dad didn't let either my brother or I get our license till we had learned to drive in the snow/ice properly.
Yes, thank you!!
Your Audible commercials are the classiest ones I've seen on UA-cam, like, ever. (And, if you spend any time on UA-cam, you know Audible commercials are a dime a dozen...). I'm consistently impressed by you guys.
My favorite sound effect in blimey cow videos is the occasional bicycle horn deployed right after a great punch line! lol
Haha, I laughed so hard at the last part. The biggest thing I've learned upon entering my 20s is that I will always feel like an idiot and no one has ever had any idea what the heck they're doing, and that's just the way life is. xP
Blimey Cow, y'all betta preach it....and I mean the whole black church-standing ovation, jumping over chairs, dancing type of preaching. Holy moli, I'm 20 now and my teenage years just flashed before my eyes....I'll never forget 14, cause that's when it all began for me....and my body........ ._.
About the Drama thing..... It happened to me..... Like literally....
After 1 day of absence...
What happened?
This is honestly one of the best videos on the internet.
Wait, did you actually show us a scene from the next episode?? That always catches me off guard.
Lol no that's just for fun XD I watch these every week and it's always the same
That's what I'm saying. Its usually a joke. But this time I think it was actually real.
Joe Repp Well Josh did say on the podcast that the next one would be 'In everything but God we trust' so it seems likely that it could be!
Hmmm maybe so, I guess we shall have to wait and see
I'm 17 and everyone my age is so awkward 😂
Can definitely relate to the friend drama. My two best friends expected me to choose a side, but instead I just said "you'll be talking again tomorrow, this is silly."
I think I need to join the AAA group.....
It's called Adler Davidson's channel
love it how everyone expects you to know everything and then they treat you like you incompetent
I'm a senior, graduating in June, and I've never been to a prom, never had hardly a friend, much less a girlfriend... and I gotta say, sometimes my life looks so much better compared to others, when you put it in the ways that you guys did. The nice thing about staying farther away from people is that less drama happens. Sure it can get lonely but, hey! God is never far away when I need him.
I do agree with the whole expectations thing. The number one question asked to me: "So what do you plan on doing next? You have any colleges picked out?" (Okay, that was two. :P) Seriously, why do people think you have a college picked out. I'm interested in computer science, preferably programming, and so I really want to go to college for that, but darnit I don't have a clue about anything past high school! I will admit, though, that's probably my favorite thing about high school, how you know what's expected of you. I mean, you take required classes, maybe some electives, but other than that it's all planned out for you.
As for awkwardness, I find that if you're the one who made it awkward, then you're the one with the one-up. If you choose to make it awkward, or it just so happened to fall that way, you can rest easy and make the situation not awkward for you by making it even more awkward. At least, that's what I find. ;)
Anyway, if you made it to this point, gg. You know a bunch of pointless information about me, expressed via a way-too-long UA-cam comment! Now continue your comments reading. :) #introvertsunite
Lol. All of this is making me want to stop dating and I'm a sophomore
Kelly's hair looks really nice :)
I can so relate to drama like my crush breaking up with me, and friends being annoying. It stresses me out so much. I am under so much pressure. Thanks for the video
I just found this channel today, and it's one of the best things I've ever found.
I just love how my friends have drama and all the dating crap, I'm scared to even tell anyone who I like.
i agree... esp with the dating part. I personally have never been on a date, but i do know most teens date a lot and its stupid to think that everyone needs a bf or gf by the time they are 14.
THANK YOU SO much for this!! there is also 1 more thing:
-Being a teenager can actually be a bit boring; It's not all teenage movies make it out to be!! Everyday can be pretty samey lool
And thank you for the 'awkward' thing. Amen to that! In my 20's and still going through that lol :-')
My friend introduced me to your channel somewhat recently, and I just want to comment to say thank you, whether you see this comment or not. I have had a rough week and I've been praying and reading the bible, but I really appreciate this channel because a lot of the time, I wind up using social media as an outlet. And it's really difficult as a Christian in this day and age to find something funny and lighthearted to watch which also doesn't have some sort of material that makes you feel a little off spiritually. Although, a lot of the videos are sarcastic, I still feel safe coming to this channel. And it really brightened my day today. It gives me hope that there are youtubers out there who can still come up with comical material still with certain moral overtones. Just thank you. Because when you watch certain things, it may be funny and make you forget troubles for a while, but it can also cloud the mind and make you forget to leave everything at the feet of Jesus in prayer.
I agree with all of this. I have two friends who are & were very immature and they just thought, "Oh were perfect for each other!" Not even two weeks later, they broke up.
And now I haven't heard from either of them in like a month..
I have discovered the greatest teenage way of life. I have gotten rid of the worst two feelings in any teenagers life. Awkwardness and Embarrassment. After the 5th grade school play that was the last of those feelings. Those dreams still hunt me.
YES! Another thing I can relate too! Do you guys think you can do "5 Reasons Why Being a Teenager is the Best"? K thanks! ^^...Sorry, that's my AAA talking.
One of my friends was always causing drama!!! It got so annoying! And most of my friends have gotten boyfriends at least twice! At lunch, me and 5 of my friends were talking about how we don't even need to know what we want to do for the rest of our lives when in college!
LOVE THIS!! Especially prom, acne and the expectations!!!
Man, that made me feel better CX
Especially number six, is totally how I feel right now. I just graduated, and I did decide that I want to work at Hobby Lobby and write stories. But now, my parents are like, "You need to send in your application because it is very likely that they won't pick you... at least not right away, so you'll probably still have lots of time to yourself." And I'm JUST now starting to get back to doing things with my brother! Sure, it is playing Halo: Reach, and watching Red vs Blue, but it's something we're finally doing together! I'M SCARED!
Amen on the whole knowing what you're going to do with your life thing. Seriously, I'm only 13 and at least half of my teachers have asked me what college I'm going to! I'm not even sure if I want to go to collage.
Back when I was 12 (I'm 14 now) my teachers are already asking us which college we're going to attend. At 13 we need to answer a survey on what career we want to pursue. It caused most of my classmates migraines.
You're not alone :)
Oh yeah I remember taking those tests back when I was 12 and 13 (I'm 16 now)
The part about Prom! So true!
Oh wait and . . . all of it. Soooo true.
So relieved to hear the part of about prom and dating, since I never had the guts to ask a girl to prom or to a date.
This is so accurate, especially prom and acne. Oh the good old days!
FRIEND DYNAMICS
I COULD NOT AGREE MORE
and that is why I only have like, 5 friends.
and no prom for me. ever
less friends like no drama
14, like no acne at all
no dating. have never dated anyone
yeah ok I have the stupid expectations and I'm not even close to 18
and yup. AAA is defiantly me XD it never gets better XD
I've got 2. beat ya
lol this time on to upset about being beaten on something... lol
+Ali Zeiter W8 what? I don't understand.
sry lol my autocorrect likes to mess with my sentences sometimes XD
I meant for once, I am not upset about being beaten in something.
+Ali Zeiter lol, I get it now. I mean, I only have two IRL friends. I have a bunch of male buds from competitive gaming and stuff but...
freaking acne (or i just call them spots) my friends have very minor stops so you can't really see it but i'm having to take medication for the last 3 years and still going for it because if i stop my head and shoulders will swell up and be really painfull. also when your friend moans about ONE SPOT and you can't be sympathetic but you have to lol
OMG! I am literally the only one in my friend group who has acne! And also, one of my friends will talk about my pimples and tell me to not forget my skincare when we have sleepovers. I love her but it just sucks because I knew all about my pimples and how I need skincare before you told me and now I’m getting old information. Middle school is so awkward too. Sigh
Oh yeah. Friend just broke up with her boyfriend (of what two weeks...?) and three days later another friend 'has a crush' on him.
See, my great friends complain that I keep secrets from them when I never knew they were dating until after they broke up.
Drama.
I was mentally screaming 'AMEN!!!!' during that whole video.
I've already made the decision not to go to prom, I don't care if my crush asks me to it. I ain't going, I'll be at home watching an awesome movie, being comfy in my PJ's, and eating pizza. And......I AIN'T WEARING NO STUPID DRESS!!
I understand grammar so well.... XD
I'm also joining that AAA meeting! I need this club in my life! Where do I sign up?!
Although highschool may suck personally middle school was the place where i made the most cringe worthy mistakes, not to mention the fact that i thought i was "all that"
The ad at the end when kelli was talking made me scared for a bit but realized i heard and read wrong. I thought she said "fifty shades of gray"
"I just want to rest my brain for a bit" (no goals= no future. Say hello to flipping burgers) Don't wait until you're 18.
I think it is a good idea to rest your burned-out brain for a couple of years immediately after finishing high school. That way you feel intellectually refreshed and motivated when you do start college 2 years later.
I was about to click the like button, but then I saw that I already had. Telltale sign of a great video. =)
Man. SO true about expectations.
2:44 Seriously! This is the worst than all of those other things combined.
you hit the nail in the coffin
Another thing, especially among Christian circles, is that they expect you to have a boyfriend/girlfriend and be seriously dating (at least) by the time you're 18...
...it can get a little annoying...
ok dont have friends so thats not a problems home schooled so never have gone to a prom or dance or date but the one thing you left out is when you say you hate being a teenager every one who is to old to remember what being a teen is like tells you that when you are their age that you will wish you are a teenager again.. that is truly the worst oh and also when adults treat you like your the stupidest thing on earth because you haven't been alive long enough to prefect the art of making mistakes and then learning from them thats pretty bad to. NEWS FLASH not all teenagers are as dumb as a rock.
I completely understand number one, I was trapped in the middle of my two best friends and my kinda clingy friend (she was my second friend ever, the first being a boy in kindergarden). They hated her and thought she was a stalker and well...that took its toll on me. Now my second friend and I don't hang out AT ALL & rarely text and my other friends and I text each other everyday. I wanna break it off with my second friend but I just...can't.
Tamomi Tamagisa
All you can really do in this situation is to continue slowly backing away from you friend, they will soon find someone else to cling to....
I went on vacation for a week, and when i got back utter chaos had occurred... high school -_-
Perhaps next week's video can be "Seven Reasons Why Being In Your 20's Is The Worst."
Jordan you will learn a lor in your early 20'a. Everyone it doesn't get better just diffrent but you get better at dealing with it.
I have always wondered why people ask me who I’m going to the dance with. I always reply with “I only came for food and to listen to music” my thoughts: WERE ONLY FRIGGIN 11 AND 12
Love this! It's sooooo true. And it sad how true this is.
i dont get acne
i am so sorry for everyone who has it
AmazingBinChild thank you for being grateful for what you have and realizing that other people don't have it we need more people that don't take their benefits for granted liKE YOU
Love the Downton Abbey reference! Wish more people saw these. Maybe then it would be easier...
I'm home schooled so a lot of this means nothing to me except for the friend/dating bit.
My friend just turned 16 and she was worried about how hard it was going to be, I just laughed and said she hasn't seen anything yet(I'm 18)
I think the worst thing about being a teenager, is how everyone tries to be part of the "pack" and everyone is copying the popular ones for no reason. There is a girl in my class, who I am kinda friends with (not very vrey close friends, 'cause I have known her for about a month maybe?) and on one of the P.E. classes, she bounced a ball past one of the popular girls who was lying on the floor. The popular girl took this as an insult. My kinda-friend didn't come to school the next day, because she was ill. She was away for about a week. But during that time, she became hated by the whole f*cking class! That's 40 people, who barely even know anything about her. And every second of the day kids walked up to me and asked: "What do you think about that stupid _______?" "Why do you hang out with ______?" etc. I really felt bad for her. Then she returned and everyone was very cold towards her, and she didn't know why (and most of the children didn't know why they were acting that way either). Since then the misunderstanding has been resolved, luckily. But I wonder what is being said about me now. Since I am a little ill... I wonder if everyone thinks I am sitting in prison for killing an infant.
Oh, and also, I don't get how being popular works. I mean, the popular girls in my class are most of the time the stupidest, ugliest and the meanest. And it's not true that rich kids get to be popular... these ones aren't rich.
Well I'm glad I was home schooled all my life, as for being 18 years old it's a yes and no thing for me
I'm in junior high and they already expect us to know what to do with our lives
Good thing homeschoolers don't need to get involved with prom! Oh and if you really want to start an argument on homeschoolers just reply under my comment!
yeeeessss the friend dynamics and the drama is my life right now. i just wish i didn't have to talk to people. :)
and the dating thing is so true. thank you so much. high school sucks... :)
loool, so true, the struggle. It's like you apply for a job, get rejected for no job experience, want to build experience, repeat. like does the AAA stay even in your 30s, just asking cause I've not reached that yet.
Actually there is actually sort of an AAA group at my school lol
I can't even begin to say how accurate number 6 is. I'm a sophomore in college and I remember my freshmen year, meeting with my counselor and she asks me "so what do you see yourself doing in a few years?" I just blanked stared at her. I was fucking fourteen. I was lucky enough to know what wanted to eat for lunch at six in the morning. Then we get into the mess that Junior year of high school brings, thinking of college apps and the beginning of college visits. At this time there were a few things I was sure of. 1. I hated math. 2. English and History seemed to be the only things I was good at. 3. Always pack your own lunch. 4. That I hated pretty much everyone in my graduating class. That's enough to be sure on when you're almost 17 years old. So again, I meet with my counselor again and she asks the same question, and of course I still didn't know. I wanted to do this, but I kinda wanted to do that. I haven't even spent two decades on this planet and you expect me to know what I want to do for the rest of my time here? I don't think it was until a month before I was to move into college that I had a general idea of what I want to do, and so far I'm holding true, but it still could change.
"Its the social event of the year" seriously, that is every school dance ever, my friends made me wear aFREAKING DRESS,HEELS AND MAKEUP for our school dance 'cause of that excuse, you know what would be more fun? staying at home and doing whatever the heck we wanted instead of wearing ridiculous clothes, and breaking our legs because of heels, also food
These videos always make me laugh so hard and make me feel better about myself
As someone in their 20's, so true.
Love this... it's so true!
I’m 18 and I still love books and Disney and stuff LOL, never dated and sometimes I feel like an 8 year old in an 18 year olds body
When I see kids with no achne I'm just like: WHY MEE!! I thought it affected everyone!!??
Awesome job guys! And Kelly I really love your shirt :)
Had Acne for 4 years now, and I finally went to the doctor about it.
Turns out that my acne's too deep for the treatments I've been taking to help. I could've had it gone way earlier...OTL
Lol you need to try some natural remedies (which are actually way more effective) Your gut health, diet, and amount of exercise has a large impact. I take a supplement called UP4 which helps keep my gut healthy and it's been helping A LOT. Also try bentonite clay for your face. Honey is also good for acne. I would rub some on every night and wash it off after about 20 mins and that should help. Good luck and remember usually the root cause of acne is something on the inside, not anything you're doing on the outside. What you put in your body affects your body more than most people realize.
um... Why it's worst to be an adult
Teen vs. Adult
Friend Dynamics vs. What Friends (they've all moved away and now all you do is work, eat, clean, sleep)
Prom vs. What social events (please appreciate the social events you get to partake in in college and high school because there are a lot fewer of those later in life)
Drama vs. Drama at work (same as school drama except now you can get fired)
Acne vs. Deteriorating health (just a fact)
Dating vs. Online dating (in school you have a large group of people but if you haven't found the one by the time you are out of school your resources have dwindled.
Expectations vs. Disappointment (yes expectations are stressful but disappointment is depressing).
Awkwardness vs. Loneliness (even awkward teens have a social group but awkward adults... good luck)
LOL! Yep, I agree with you. I do NOT miss being a teenager. It sucked!
I literally had none of these problems in high school, my friends and I avoided all of this XD. My teenage years were awesome.
Seriously, I didn't even start feeling like an adult till I was 25.......
Wow, none of this has to do with me... even though I'm turning 17 in 2 months... Well, let me make sure:
1: All my friends are pretty simple... all guy school ya know...
2: Grad (or Prom as its known abroad) I never really cared. Besides, the idea of a date was only an option here so its not really complicated, just another hang out
3: Guys school... no drama... maybe an argument ever now and then, but nothing that stays.
4: Always had clear skin, so much I'm actually worried
5: Its easy to say I don't want or need a girlfriend proudly Even saying "I've never kiss a girl" in public is easy. That's just kinda how things here are.
6: If you don't know, become a doctor, lawyer, or engineer
7: I've been clueless for as long as I can remember so I never know if awkward moments are awkward so I never feel awkward.
Yup, my life sucks...
"If you don't know, become a doctor, lawyer, or engineer" What!? Wait, hmm… huh, that kinda is what people do, isn't it...
But it's not that easy! If you haphazardly pick something, you'll probably regret it later. Besides, if you didn't want to be any of those 3 things, why make it harder to get into college by claiming you want to major in those things?
Sigh… I am still deciding. Don't know yet and next year's senior year for me. So far everything I might pick I either suck at or don't like or both. :/ Expectations…
I know what I want to do with my life... I want to post my video ever on UA-cam (still haven't decided what THATS going to be though...) :P
Your life sounds perfect for a teen!!! trust me, you are NOT missing out on the lameness of regular schools. and dont get upset about the guy/girl stuff. not dating is a great option and prevents a lot of bad memories. im 21 and never dated, but people i knew who went through the high school stuff full blast just have a lot of unpleasant memories.
I can identify with all of these! But Number 7 is the funniest!! And I just loved that pop culture reference.
Prom sucked at my high school. I went in 11th grade, but not in 12th, and senior prom is supposedly more significant than junior prom for some reason. It wouldn't have been worth the $30.
Also, I was blessed with good skin. I've never had acne. Well, I've had a zit here and there, and I got blackheads every so often, but never more than one at a time.
I did 'date' in high school, and take it from me: It's not worth it. It's very much not worth it.
2.52... Why are your hands so red?? Haha
That's why I guilted my two friends who don't like each other and are fighting. I told them that they had to go get along for one day. Because it was my birthday.
Hey Jordan, what's up with the pink hands?
i think the blood is just rushed to them, haha, i get that when my hands are down at my sides for too long... :P
Thought I was the only guy who noticed his bright pink hands....
I get the pink hands thing now... I didn't used to but now I do :/ I think either my blood is really liquidy or my skin is super pale with no colorant,
or both I dunno.
They have explained it before: before every take they do a sound check. The check consists of Jordan clapping his hands and Josh listening to see how it takes. Since he claps hard for everyyy take, his hands end up red...
they also said that his hands look normal if he holds them above his heart and they get red when he holds his hands below his heart ... but im tired so dont listen to me :P
After watching this video i don't wanna grow up anymore, i rather stay like this.
For real is this that bad?
And hard?
And boring?
#7 - I think pre-teen also qualifies for that.
This is sooo truuee! Especially the whole have to know what your doing with the rest of your life when you're 18!! 😐
Please do seven great things about being a teenager!
Oh my gosh, I can really relate to the all around awkward thing :P That's me. And I'm 20 now and I still feel awkward. So, I can understand what you were saying....
So relatable! Loved this video:)
I'm only a middle schooler. But this ALL applies to me. (I'm also homeschooled and Christian Jordan. Minus the dating) And I was gone for two weeks and found out two of my friends werent speaking, one of my friends was mad cuz ANOTHER one of my friends wouldn't go to a dance with him... Truth be told... It's all at church alone... cuz yeah I'm homeschooling. "My siblings are my bestest friends!!!" 😉😉😉
Kelly's dating me?
pride and prejudice one of my favorite books. you had to be social and be mean to people didn't fit in. Hmm High school but then if your like Jane then you fight for what s right then you find your Mr. Darcy
Haha, gotta love when people incorrectly say : "Are you going to prom?" instead of "Are you going to *the prom?"
