This should be the top response because it accurately says that too many people discredit teens because of lack of experience in life without knowing ANYTHING the teen has been through.

I use to get crap all the time from my dad through my teen years because i was 30 years younger than him and "what could I possibly know" about things. Turns out, and he's apologized for this (15 years later), that my views on things were less about my age and more about outside observations.

I told him one time that a teen who had a friend commit suicide has more knowledge about suicide at age 17 than someone who has never been around it until 27. Age had nothing to do with it, it just happened at different points in their lives. 

There are also some experiences a teen can have that makes them more adult than some adults. A child sex trafficed survivor has probably seen more shit then some 40 year olds. 

The opinions of others should never just be discredited because of their age. Rather we should explain where the flaws are in ANYONE'S opinions, if any.

The other comments currently at the top are just discrediting youth thoughts to age, which is no better than teens thinking older people are closed minded.
