Why are kids/teens in movies/tv SO TERRIBLE?

These writers are doing a disservice to the kids of the world. I mean terrible ones do exist (I blame the parents for not establishing rules and teaching manners early on), but a lot of kids are just normal kids. Not rude, selfish little angst pigs the way they're portrayed in movies. 🙄

Writers have done a disservice to the entire family unit for decades.
- dads portrayed as old children who must be mothered by wives
- kids must be catered to in the household, not taught/raised
- talking and logic should be used on kids of all ages
- lower expectations for everyone to be responsible

@easterniowegin Men in commercials are portrayed as man- childs or adolescents who need a wife to take car of them because the woman is the only adult in the house. Very tiring. Men are also either portrayed as hyper macho, or total pussies.
