“Most” indicates more than the majority, that is more than half, and Mr Krooglik’s comment is simply not true.
No one disputes that there are teenagers with issues and behavioural problems, but they are certainly not in the majority.
I don’t know the statistics, but would guess they are a very small minority, but get more publicity.
From our perspective, most of today’s teenagers are good and responsible people, certainly more responsible and mature than teenagers of 20 and 40 years ago.
We are all amazingly proud of our teenagers.
