It is 2:15 PM and the ban on teens at Munchy's has begun. Munchy's states there are many loud, cell phone addictive teens, therefore they are banning them. They are banning teens just for being teens. Business’ should not have the right to ban students based on their age because not only does that discriminate but it also is bad for a business’ sales and reputation. In a Business Analysis for October, 73% of Munchy's patrons were minors. Having patrons that are minors is not necessarily a bad thing because they bring in money, but they also bring in friends who will bring more money for you. They may be minors, but they do bring in sales and if we ban them our sales could go down which could lead to a whole world of problems. Another point is minors are not always the source of the noise and commotion, but rather businessmen and women who are having a business meeting or on the phone arguing over a business deal. The newspaper ad says no cell phones, but what will they do when a businessman/woman pulls out a cell phone to yell and argue? Also, teens don't call others as often, but rather text each other which reduces the noise level. …show more content…
Noise levels mainly boil down to decorum.
Does the man or woman next to you yell and argue a lot? How is their etiquette in a restaurant? Nowadays people aren't as tough on others when it comes to how you act in a public place whether it's at a restaurant or just walking around the mall. We don't think about our actions as much, which can lead to bad habits such as talking loudly or arguing. You can't blame teens for acting this way just because they're teens. Most of them learn these habits from adults that they see sitting there, on the phone just talking as loudly as they can and not thinking about their noise
level. Even though others don't think its right to ban teens, some people think banning teens is a smart, logical plan. You also have to take into account the disadvantages of banning them. Even though these are adults, they are still people who talk and could bring in younger children who could unexpectedly have an outburst. Banning teens could potentially bring in more adults, but to the people who think it's a smart plan to ban teens, more adults do not always mean less noise. Also not allowing teens in your restaurant doesn't automatically guarantee a quiet and peaceful lunch with no cell phones. Banning teens does not promise more adults will come in because of work and going to a restaurant for lunch does not always work well with the amount of time you have for lunch. You just have to compare the pros and cons and there are more cons to banning teens. We are quick to assume and jump to a conclusion without seeing the big picture or the underlying problem. Teens may be on their phones and are loud, but they aren't the only ones being disruptive. Next time you visit Munchy's or any restaurant just stop talking. Listen and observe who and what is around you. You may be surprised by who's the loudest.
Teenagers play an important role in society since they are old enough to have their own opinions but aren’t regarded by adults to have opinions worth sharing. Song highlights many important ideas like teenagers have a lot to do with worldwide issues such as gun control and LGBT rights. “Like adults, teens deserve to speak and to have the opportunity to be heard, and we deserve the respect that any other adult would expect. We shouldn’t be counted out just for our age when many of us are mature beyond our years. We shouldn’t be belittled or disregarded for having the audacity to believe we can make a difference.(“Why More Adults Need to Value Teenage Voices by Isabel Song)” Song believes that not all teenagers should be stereotyped as lazy, selfish, and arrogant because their voices should be counted in society. If adults keep on neglecting on teenagers, they won’t see the amazing things that teenagers are doing right now for the
First of all, whenever someone opens a book or magazine or turns on the television, they see a bunch of teens having fun. Immediately, because of how society sees teens, people think that the teens must be doing something wrong. People think that teens are out to cause trouble, when in reality, most of them mean no harm.. Many people may think that teens are dangerous and shun them for their own safety. It is almost a prejudice against the teenage race.
Bob Marley once said, “Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.” This is the case when it comes to teens and alcohol. In America, the National Minimum Legal Drinking Age is a topic of great debate and controversy. Many people argue that the age restriction provides a safe environment for all citizens; whereas others disagree that the law creates an untrustworthy aura among teens. If the minimum legal drinking age were to be lowered, most people would be affected by it, whether it be by an increase in drunk-driving or a rise in crimes. Although teens are legally considered adults by the age of eighteen and the minimum legal drinking age prompts underage teens to exhibit risky behavior, the age restriction should not be lowered from twenty-one to eighteen because young teens would have easier access to alcohol, the minimum legal drinking age has decreased alcohol-related problems, and alcohol can cause damage to underage drinkers.
Many fall into peer pressure that's because of the friends they come across with. Friends can influence them so much once becoming an adult it isn’t the same because your brain has grown out of it. Many also lack confidence while many look like adults their brain resembles a child’s. While their bodies are aging their brain is rearranging itself in a way that temporarily makes it act the same way it did when they were younger. Most teens are overly emotional studies have found that teens have a much harder time speaking and to other people and so they sometimes react irrationally to emotional situations. Many parents wonder what happens to the smart child they use to have many still put in the exact same effort but get different results that's because the brain losses tissue over the years. Losing brain tissue can cause a teen to act immature and not quite like an adult
Some laws even make it easier for teens to drink, like in some states if a parent purchases the alcohol it is fine for the teen to drink. That law is abused though since one parent will buy beer for a complete party and not just for their teen. There have been some cases where the cops have cracked down on this problem but not enough. Teens are not seeing underage drinking as something wrong whether it be because they think it will help them fit in or to cover up feelings of sadness or hatred. When a teen sees the "cool" kids drink they want to join in so that they ...
Teens are often embarrassed of their parents before their peer groups because parents seem old fashioned, retro, not cool, and they would prefer to be driving, eating and entertaining with friends rather than their parents who own the car and pay their
The dialogue boxes present scenarios common to families dealing with teenagers. In addition to presenting a typical parent/teen conversation (such as playing music too loud or talks about drugs) these sections offer insight on how to discuss certain issues with your teens.
In conclusion, establishing the age of twenty-five as the legal age to purchase of alcohol can be of great benefit to the community on the long run. With the assistance of substance abuse treatments, the statistics for underage drinking will be reduced significantly. Parents who continue to watch out over what types of magazines or advertisements their children come across are positively influencing them and greatly impacting their
Underage drinking is wrong. It is very unhealthy and can be extremely dangerous. Not only is it unhealthy and dangerous it is also illegal. (Kids don’t try this at home). Underage drinking is when anyone under the minimum legal drinking age of 21 drinks alcohol. Alcoholic beverages include: beer, wine, liquor, etc. With underage drinking comes a heavy price, underage drinking carries a lot of risk and potential serious injuries.

At this stage in parenting, regardless of whether perfect groundwork was laid during all other stages leading to this point, conflict and disagreements are ultimately inevitable. Even if healthy communication has been established between parent and child these scenes will still play out. Teenagers are going through many physical and chemical changes in their bodies which cause them to react as though they were on emotional
Docksai, Rick. Teens and cell phones: cell phones can be noisy and distracting. But they can also be an aid to learning." The Futurist. Jan.-Feb.
“ They (cell phones) allow people to stay connected to friends and family, for example, and provide a way to report crimes and emergencies…” ( How Does Cell Phone Use Impact Teenagers 9).
Why do adults label teenagers as irresponsible? Surely, these older critics were much the same at our age. For example, adults presume that all teenagers are disgraceful when they are exposed to alcohol. However, with the right guidance and support, teenagers can keep within limits and celebrate special occasions with dignity and self-discipline. This is why the legal drinking age should be lowered. Additionally, no matter what laws are in place, teenagers will always drink under age: largely due to curiosity. Stories intrigue younger teenagers to experience the sensation for themselves, through their own experiences.
Youth curfew laws are intended to protect teens from getting into trouble and being harmed by forcing adolescents to stay off the streets after a certain hour, but do they take away rights from teens at the same time? Youth curfew laws have been implemented across counties in the United States. One curfew law in Philadelphia (“American”) limits the times youth can be out varying by age and time from 8pm to 11pm. Mayor Nutter of Philadelphia reasons, “…which will help keep safe our citizens, especially our young people,” when speaking about the ordinance. Fines for violations of the curfew law include a $500 fine against the parent(s). Just like with all laws, people have been for and against curfew laws. These laws have been passed to control teen criminal activity, safety. Some argue that curfew laws take away rights from young people, while others say they cause issues with crime records by charging youth with breaking laws that have no criminal activities other than being out late. Others argue that curfew laws force teens to bond with their families, cause them to stay away from drugs and alcohol, reduce teen pregnancies, and over-all reduce crime rates.
Firstly, everyone has gone or will go through the teenage rebellion phase. No matter how good of a person you think you are, you have probably rebelled against an elder person at least once. Once hormones have revealed it-self, children turn into confused young adults that think they can do everything by themselves and that there will be no longer any need of nurture from adults. The word “young” from “Young adults” are what teenagers completely ignore, when actually they should do the opposite and ignore the “adults” part.
