#teenage moodiness

“If teenagers are truly moody by nature, then why do we only start calling them ‘moody’ once society labels them that way? Why do adults forget their own emotional struggles at that age? Isn’t it easier to blame teens than to understand them? And if moodiness is ‘natural,’ then why do supportive environments reduce it while pressure and stereotypes make it worse? Maybe teenagers aren’t born moody at all—maybe society simply teaches everyone to expect it.”
