Being a teenager comes with several ups and downs.
Perhaps the biggest downside of one's teenage years, is the looming reality of adulthood being just around the corner.
That the time when you can no longer depend on your parents as a safety net, and must eventually start supporting yourself is fast approaching.
Of course, most teenagers will choose to ignore this reality, and cherish each moment of their vanishing youth.
As a result, they might not react too kindly when being faced with certain information, if they're even willing to hear it.
Redditor Slight_Weight_7053 was curious to hear all the things modern teenagers are either not ready, or unwilling to hear, leading them to ask:
"What are teens today not ready to hear?"
Adulthood Has A Way Of Sneaking Up On You...

You Will Always Be You
"You won't 'feel' different when you're older, or have kids."
"You'll just be you, it's weird."- Poshspicer
You Won't Always Seem Cool...
"Everything you do as a teenager will be cringe to your children."- divinetrackies
"Your parents were hip and cool before they had to pay your bills and feed you and buy you the cool clothes so you can impress the friends you'll forget about in 10 years."- Azuras_Star8
Be Aware Of Your Surroundings!

It's understandable why teenagers aren't ready to hear any of this information.
Mainly because most of them aren't ready for adulthood, and all it has in store.
Though ten or so years from now, they'll likely be extremely grateful to have been told all of this, as they'll possibly tell their own children...
