Some people talk about us dredful teens and how were so pighead and how we're always back talking. But for some people there scared of teens. It first start out as "fear of loathing teens" but today its used as inaccrute exaggerated characterization of young people. Today it means "the fear of youth." Some other terms that are closely related are Pediaphobia which means the fear of young children and infants and Gerontophobia which means the fear of elders and or seniors. Tjis fear usually causes discrimination which is called Adultism.
