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. 🙄

Did you ever watch Reality Bites or Molly Ringwold in any of her movies, or listen to 70's and 80's hardcore punk, or 90's grunge? Our parents said the same about our entetainment when we were young.

@NativePortlander1970 of course I have. But 1. Reality Bites was about adults. 2. Molly Ringwald played *a* snobby princess character in The Breakfast Club, and that character ended up being better when she got to know her not-snobby classmates. In Pretty In Pink Molly played a pretty normal teen who had friends of all ages, from all sides of the tracks 3. I'm not talking about music here.
