Teenagers have supposed cognitive abilities. I know studies have shown that the human brain doesn't stop growing until age 19 or so, and the growth of the brain during adolesence causes some extreme behavior and severe swings in mood and comprehension, but despite this, the US Supreme Court ruled that society can still charge teenagers as adults when they commit terrible crimes. Obviously, digging a poorly written cable crapfest TV show isn't a "crime", let alone a "terrbile crime", I only present the anlalogy to suggest that teenagers shouldn't be excused from purchasing crap because they are teenagers and don't know any better. In my experience, teenagers know exactly what they are doing for the most part, and they like what they like and no force on earth will convince them otherwise. Teenagers who try and turn the tables around and lament how wrong it is that adults think poorly of their current boy band or fantasy kid show is like a five year old lamenting how their parents don't like it when they eat dirt. It's dirt. The world is wide and open and there are so many beautiful things to experience - -why waste your time on such patent garbage? It's tragic, really.
