What's up with teenagers and selfies?


I just don't get it.So you look in the same time into a mirror,then you'll get a photo with you and the phone,not to mention they look up when they take the "shot"

A teenager taking a selfie is one thing but most of the time it is adults who ought to know better.

reply

But why?

reply

So I kind of understand the urgency to take selfies.

What I don't understand is who wants to look at them when they're made public! So tell me, who here likes to look at other people's selfies, and if so, why?

reply

Bloody hell,mate.How the hell should i know? I'm confused of this thing also

reply

I'm hoping someone here can explain it.

There are fifty billion selfies online, surely someone's looking at them?

reply

And sometimes when they take a selfie, they forget their clothing! Scatterbrained teenagers.

reply

Please,don't remind me of those😒

And they often pay little attention to the background...ick.

I have never understood selfies , myself and I guess I never will - people are just different and It would be a dull world if we weren't.

Oh , and by the way , in my experience is , it's not just teenagers.

And another one of my pet peeves is people constantly showing photos of food - what's up with that ???

reply

IF YOU CAN EVEN CALL THAT CRAP MUSIC!

And stop bragging to your stupid friends if you get to bang a hot teacher!

reply

Actually.... I wouldn't mind hearing about that. And where were all these over sexed crazy horny teachers when I was in school?

reply

They were still doing it, but the boys had more respect and kept it to themselves.

I was in love with my drama teacher in junior high. I got ZERO action from her.

reply

Mine was a psychology teacher, and also covered Russian History when that class was tried out. Just an infatuation. She was married to the football coach, lucky guy.

reply

Even now, I work with a lot of teachers, and the ladies just being teachers is a turn on. Some guys like lady cops cause of the uniform, I like teachers. Lucky guy is right!

reply

Now days a teacher can be arrested if she/he have sex with a student.

reply

Whereas in the past it was perfectly ok?

reply

Don't know

reply


LOL and amen, Captain! And put down that damned phone you young whippersnapper!

Probably because you won't get a mirror flash with a selfie or a selfie stick (facepalm).

You do get ones that take mirror shots too though. Usually guys showing us their abs and only their abs since that's the only part of them worth photographing.

reply

I think a lot of it is narcissism. In a selfie you are front and centre. I work at a Heritage tourist attraction, and I offer to take pictures of people all the time in front of some of the buildings, especially our old theatre. So often people say no as they want the picture to be about them, not their surroundings.
