Do you think teens should be treated like adults?

I just think that teenagers should be treated more like adults. They're just a few years away from actually being legal adults, so why can't they be treated like one? As a teenager myself, I feel like I'm expected to act like an adult but I'm treated like a child. I don't know. But do you agree?

No.
You're a teenager. You should be treated like a teenager. I mean, I agree, most of the time, teens are treated like children and that's stupid. But we shouldn't be treated like adults either. We aren't children and we aren't adults. We don't act like children and we don't act like adults. We shouldn't be treated like children and we shouldn't be treated like adults.
We should be treated like teenagers.

To be honest, it depends on the maturity of the teenager.

Some, even though legally nearly adults, our brains haven't even fully developed good decision making skills about 21-23 (if I remember correctly) and we all have different maturities.

To be honest, I know adults who should be treated like children.

Yes, fair point.

They shouldn't be fully treated like adults, but they should be more respected than kids. I'm a teen, and I feel the same way.

I do too. I hate being talked to like I am 7 but expected to act like I'm 30.
