Serving Full T.I.L.T. : What I Wish You Knew About Teens

March 18, 2015 by Karen Jensen, MLS   Leave a Comment

As kind of a wrap up to our Serving Full T.I.L.T. (Teens in Libraries Today), I took to Twitter to get your input asking, “What do you wish adults would remember about teens today?” What follows are some of your answers. If you would like to add more, please leave us a comment.

@TLT16 They’re not all interested in”growing up” so quickly. That doesn’t make them babies. It just makes them them.

— Alison Weiss (@alioop7) March 4, 2015

 

@TLT16 We should try to take their mental health issues half as seriously as the teens do

— Eden Grey (@edyngrey) March 4, 2015

 

@TLT16 That they have amazing ideas, talents, voices that we need to hear and stop dismissing them or they’ll stop speaking.

— Hippodilly Circus (@HippodillyCircu) March 4, 2015

 

@TLT16 that just getting to school each day is a major accomplishment for someone of them

— Amanda MacGregor (@CiteSomething) March 4, 2015

 

@TLT16 that they are more aware, intelligent, and capable than we give them credit for. @NitaTyndall

@TLT16 Some have too many people telling them what to do instead of listening to them.

— Faythe (@farre) March 4, 2015

 

@TLT16 They are capable of more than you think, both good and bad. They need inspiration, not threats, to be their best.
