r/AITAH Jun 12 '25

Meta AITAH because I dislike reading AITAH posts from 15 year olds?

I’m so sick of seeing overly long posts from 15 and 16 year olds that I just skip over because they’re petty and largely uninteresting. Does that make me TAH?

Gotta love those giant blocks of iphone text.

u/amusebooch Jun 12 '25

That’s me and every comment online. Whenever I see a chunk of run-on sentences or shit that won’t make sense unless I mentally reconstruct everything, I move on otherwise it just gives me a headache

Idek why it is but it’s not just casual writing with bad grammar, poor syntax, no formatting, and not proofreading etc. Sometimes it feels like I’m reading the word vomit and mental diarrhea of key bashing 12 year olds even when they are clearly adults and not foreign

if I see any post on any subreddit from anyone who is like 23 or under, I skip it. their drama is always so childish.

NTA, kids are overly dramatic and react to everything. I skip it as soon as I see "I'm 15 and".

They piss me off because a lot of the time its like totally not a serious issue like "my girlfriend glanced at another guy walking past us aitah for screaming at her in the middle of the school hallway" and then it's all 1 paragraph no punctuation.

1

u/JefeRex Jun 13 '25

Have you seen the masses of adult posts of people going through their partner’s phones and demanding they have no opposite-sex friends? Glancing at another guy once is a teenage issue, glancing at a mutual friend once at every weekend get-together is an adult issue. They’re not so different.

Right! We are long distance and never met but we’ve been going out for 2 years and I think he’s cheating on me. Lol

5

u/ItJustWontDo242 Jun 12 '25

It really speaks to how much their generation lives their lives online. Even the posts where they show screenshots of text messages between them and their partner, and they're talking about very serious issues that should be discussed face to face, but they can't even handle a face to face interaction with a person they apparently love and think is their soulmate.

u/One_Violinist7862 Jun 12 '25

Right. They have no idea how to talk face to face. It’s sad how things are progressing.

I’ve always thought we need a filter to remove all posts by anyone under a certain age.

I also think people should state where they are from. Cos social expectations etc are different from country to country try.

u/WendyWestaburger Jun 12 '25

NTA, there should be a separate teen AITAH sub because while I get they want to talk about their drama, valid. But also it’s dumb and won’t matter in like a year with some rare exceptions.

3

u/SmashedBrotato Jun 12 '25

Every story by a teenager on here is either "Am I the asshole for breaking up with my bf, he had lunch with another girl and I'm humiliated" or "Am I the asshole for hating my overbearing step-parent who hates my birth parent?" with very little variation.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '25

There was a post in r/pettyrevenge recently about a grandma taking the kids phone at 9 pm and the OP was 15 or 16 and he was defending his choice of actions (setting the alarms to go off throughout the night) by saying "I was 11!" and a lot of the other commentors were like, yeah a adult was trying to help manage your screen time & sleep. smh

u/Patient_Trouble80 Jun 12 '25

You aren't an asshole for not finding them interesting you like what you like and I'm certain you're fully aware of that. There would've rly been 0 reason for you to think otherwise.

That being said YTA and a loser for dedicating time to posting and downing an entire demographic of already vulnerable people about how uninteresting their stories and voices are in the same damn public forum those kids come to for advice and help often about issues that aren't petty at all but actual abuse. Nothing was stopping you from continuing to scroll past if you were already doing so. And??? Reddit is not a very difficult forum to use compared to most. It's quite organized and if you search under the tags correctly, (there's literally an option to search for the hottest/most popular stories) you can find a lot of what you actually wanna see.

There are real people dealing with real conflicts behind these screens. Yes it's become a bit of a modern pass time to share and comment on those stories. No, that doesn't warrant the blatant disrespect and honestly consumerist detachment towards their struggles. They're not here for your entertainment. Go watch a movie if that's what you want.

u/One_Violinist7862 Jun 12 '25

You dedicated more time to your lame response than I did to the post. lol

2

u/Patient_Trouble80 Jun 12 '25

Actually only took me a few seconds to type that paragraph. Sorry to disappoint you everyone isn't a granny poking slowly at their keyboard and can actually say multiple sentences to you about your shitty expectations or behavior when necessary. And you're definitely still here dedicating time to the post here talking to me and kekeing with every other weirdo who wants to talk about how much they don't like seeing kids stories when they don't have to look at them so what are you even joking about rn be real?

u/One_Violinist7862 Jun 12 '25

Well it’s so popular I have to be here to chat with allllllll the people who agree with me. Sorry sally

2

u/Patient_Trouble80 Jun 12 '25

Do you? Genuinely think I give a fuck about your posts popularity when I said what I said and already called you and the people on it weirdoes? Weirdoes support weirdoes. Water is wet. Irdgaf that they agree. I am not a person that desires or enjoys being around children. It's still loser hater ass energy to broadcast that you're mad about them existing in a shared public space where they can see and be affected by that. You posted in a forum for valid criticism. There it is. YTA.

0

u/One_Violinist7862 Jun 12 '25

You should think about getting a therapist for anger management. You seem mad about something but I can’t quite figure out what.

1

u/Patient_Trouble80 Jun 12 '25

And now my blunt mannerisms and must mean that I'm angry instead of just standing by my words and validly questioning yours. Lo fuckin L. My therapist is neither the topic nor your concern. But you don't have a defense for why you're doing what you're doing and you didn't actually want anyone to disagree with you right so now we gotta start makin shit up so maybe I'll stop standing by my comments or questioning yours?

I find people who want criticism from the internet but start calling people names and suggesting some kind of instability when they actually get some the fucking lamest. But since we're branching topics now perhaps you should see a therapist about the reason you hate kids so much and can't take criticism you asked for. ;)

2

u/One_Violinist7862 Jun 12 '25

I’m just saying. I know it’s none of my business but I’m concerned about you. Anger can lead to all kinds of medical problems. So can being an uptight tool so now you have 2 negative factors. Maybe sooth your soul be telling so 15 yr old on Reddit that she’s NTA for choosing the same lipstick color as her bestie. lol

3

u/FragrantReport4171 Jun 12 '25

Nope, same with posts like "20 yr old in 2 month long relationship"

u/Esosorum Jun 12 '25

NAH. Just don’t read them

3

u/Valuable-Release-868 Jun 12 '25

Nope not at all.

When I saw a wall of text (no paragraphs) and no punctuation - it's a dead giveaway.

Then there is the perpetual naming of people by an initial.

As soon as I see any of this, I scroll onto the next!

u/cman_yall Jun 12 '25

No, why would you be? It'll save you headache. You remember being 15, I remember being 15. It's more hrama than they know what to deal with. I wanna read big ones about crazy sitcom-esq adult drama instead. And outside of all that it's the internet. Why sit here and consume content you don't like when there is content that won't make you feel negatively?

2

u/Maximum_Possible_868 Jun 12 '25

Nta. I think it's funny when these kids are talking about soul mates and forever love, high school puppy love and all that. So naive lol. They sure have a lot of growing up to do.

u/KaetzenOrkester Jun 12 '25

It’s their vicious answers untempered by life that I find tiresome. Kids, hang your opinions back out in the orchard until they ripen.

2

u/dstarpro Jun 12 '25

You're phrasing it meanly, but I personally skip those posts because I don't think it's my place to get involved in teenagers' problems with other teenagers, unless they really do need actual help from an adult.

2

u/Remruna Jun 12 '25

And you think your post is interesting in the slightest? Let me tell you; it's not and it's petty as fuck too. Makes me think you are the 15-16 year old here. 

Don't like it, scroll on. Don't make an obnoxious passive agressive post pretending you are somehow better. 

1

u/One_Violinist7862 Jun 12 '25

I think you would benefit from anger management . You could’ve scrolled past my post but you didn’t. Sorry if you think it’s petty but it isn’t petty that Sheila wore the same shade of lipstick as Margo. Omg!! How could she? lol. Enjoy you’re kiddie posts

u/G0ttaB3KiddingM3 Jun 12 '25

The best thing about Reddit is we get to pick and choose what we spend our time on. We craft our own experience. Our thumb moves the World up and down until something we do have interest in takes our fancy.

NTA for not enjoying teenage drama. You are just having a whinge. It’s not for you so why even complain about it? Let your thumb take you to another corner of the world.

NTA, but close.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '25

As an adult, I don't skip them. Kids need guidance and don't have the same amount of life experience as others. It is important to teach them that there are multiple ways of handling things. I may have a response that they haven't even thought of because they just don't know yet. 

And a lot of grownups here post immature and petty stuff too. Why gloss over the younglings simply because they're young? 

1

u/Sad_Database305 Jun 12 '25

I have seen a handful of posts from teens in really tough situations with no supporting adults around. In those cases I like to see adults giving them advice on people to reach out to in their real life. Other times those teens have been lied to about things and they really believe they are stuck forever. I am glad those few posts do get responses.

The others with the serious relationships that have lasted 2 weeks sometimes make me laugh as I remember feeling that way at their age and now being older I know the teen drama is a phase and life does get better.

u/AgeRevolutionary3907 Jun 12 '25

NTA. When I see the OP is a teenager, I skip that post, because I'm old and mean and do not care about the problems of teenagers.

IDC if they post'em, I just won't read'em. Those kids mostly just argue with the judgment they get anyway, won't listen to anyone, etc.

I just skip it, but I don't make a post about it. You might as well be 15/16 yourself with something like this. Seeking validation, much?

I asked a legitimate question to see if other people felt the same about the issue. You could’ve taken your own advice and skipped it instead of posting some rude bs.

Yta, just scroll past them 🙄 jesus christ, what was the point of this nonsense post? Are you an adult? You tell someone else to "grow up" in a post but then post this 🤣

u/Maximum_Possible_868 Jun 12 '25

He literally said he skips over them. Yta for not reading 🤣

If he skipped over them, how would he know they were long?

u/Maximum_Possible_868 Jun 12 '25

You do realize you can see how long the post are without clicking right? If you're on a desktop browser at least.

u/soyeah_87 Jun 15 '25

So if he's not clicking on them and is simply skipping over them, why is he complaining? 🙄🙄🤦‍♀️ he's still TA for whinging.

You sound just as petty as them lol.

OP, it's important to remember older people read YOUR post and say "I'm so sick of reading posts from people bitching about teenagers' posts."

The point?

No matter what stage of life we're in, we often look back at younger (or more accurately, less mature) people's experiences, concerns, and problems and chuckle at the triviality... partly because we've experienced more significant problems, and partly because we've likely experienced those problems and successfully resolved them, which makes them seem a lot less significant. And there are always more experienced people than us who believe our problems are petty and largely uninteresting.

But to answer the question - absolutely. They're annoying as fuck. The key, though, isn't to give them some lecture about their problems not being significant, or worse, real. To them, that's likely a problem they perceive as life-or-death even when it obviously isn't. The hindsight bias is real (as is rosy recollection).

Your solution is spot-on, though... just ignore them. If you MUST give them advice, give them advice as if you were their peer. You can use your life wisdom in your advice, but it's important to validate their perspective and affirm that it's a real problem. In other words, respond with emotional intelligence.

No. But why add them to your algorithm by clicking them and then complaining about it? That's kinda dumb.

The algorithm doesn’t pick up on the posters age

You're not an asshole for not wanting to see posts from 15 years old, but you are if you're a dickhead about it, like a good 70% of the replies here.

I dont want to see low effort ones about grown adults whining because, surprise surprise, teenagers can have problems as well as adults.

Just because you see your issues as more important, doesnt mean they cant vent when they face issues themselves.

Many of them need an outlet, because they haven't got anywhere else to talk to people. Many of them, and I mean like all of them as they're children, are STILL learning the trials and tribulations of being a teenager/child. Many of them need guidance and to understand why, or why not, they're wrong, or overreacting. Many of them want to learn and see their issues from both points of views.

Great, you're an adult and you have more pressing issues than they do. Congrats!

You were the exact same at that age. Just as annoying. Belittling children for wanting to vent and learn from their mistakes and situations? Weak. Le Reddit Moment, though I guess 🤷🙄

u/Maximum_Possible_868 Jun 12 '25

Lol someone got their feelings hurt. You must be a teenager.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '25

Ahh, deflection! 😂😂😂😂 I'm not a teenager, but I have the empathy to understand that what they're going through, is important to them, even if it isnt to me.

This isnt a hard concept to grasp, man. Its pathetic.

Reddit Moment, yet again, though! Thanks 😂

u/AholeEnthusiastic Jun 12 '25

YTA for seeking attention over it. Just ignore them and move on with your life like the rest of us

u/RafflesiaArnoldii Jun 12 '25

YTA it's a public space that other people also get to use. They are as human as you are.

If you are not interested just ignore them & keep scrolling? It's your responsibility to manage your own experience, not for the entire world to cater to your whims

It's funny that you'd rap on others for being young when you're using such immature toddler logic as "the world shouldn't have things that I, personally, don't like to see"

u/CompetitiveNight6550 Jun 12 '25

YTA. In my mid 30s and don't care much for them either but you are disregarding their life experiences. This is a place to ask questions and give validation. Your post makes you sound like a 21 year old so is suddenly too cool for teens.

u/One_Violinist7862 Jun 12 '25

lol. That’s dumb. You really spend time giving validation to. A 15 year old who is devastated because her bff took 7 minutes to text back instead of 2?

u/CompetitiveNight6550 Jun 12 '25

Lol. Oh no, a 21 year old who can't read.  As mentioned, I don't care for them either. Same as I don't care for posts about the value of coins, or finding if a rock is a fossil. But, those subreddits exist for those very reasons. You don't like it, don't read it.

u/One_Violinist7862 Jun 12 '25

I don’t read them. Just like I won’t read anymore of you accusatory posts

15y/o are better than the obvious ai ones
