Not even close. This old ZeFrank video really applies: https://youtu.be/-KQb3Mx2WMw
Teens just think differently. It’s not their fault, no more is it the fault of my four year old when he can’t understand things. It’s just part of growing up. But this part of growing up involved emotions being heightened not just to 11, but like 27 or something absurd like that. It creates so much drama, heartache, and pain.
Now, all those saying that work is, in fact, just like high school? They’re complaining about individual people they meet who act immature, reminding them a little of high school. The fact is, as adults we SHOULD be leaving that all behind, and anyone that continues to do it is an outlier. And outliers get attention, and we tend to focus out experiences on them.
But it IS an outlier. Adult life is not like high school, except in exceptions that we sometimes focus on in frustration because we shouldn’t have to deal with it, but sometimes do.
In highschool, it’s not the exception, it’s just how things are all the time. It can’t help but be that way. It’s how you grow up. It’s how we are as young humans, anywhere and everywhere.
Adulthood is different. There are times we remember being young and stupid, mostly when witnessing people being stupid sometimes— and that never changes. But adulthood is different.
