Who invented teenagers?

The reason that I ask?

I'd like to get my hands on him

And take the **** to task.

They weren't there when I was young

Remember that I can.

I went to bed once as a kid,

And woke up as a man.

You had to act grown up from then

Or trouble came your way.

And starting on your first job

Got you very little pay.

But now our lovely teenagers

Are cosseted and praised.

Some can't even bother

To get out of bed most days.

I know that it won't happen

Cos I won't be here to see.

What some teenagers will be like

When they reach eighty-three.

I can just about remember....ha ha ....Teddy Boys , with their slicked back hair, winklepickers and drain pipe trousers . Were they the first teenagers?

in reply toknitter

Teddy Boys were young men who took great care over their appearance. Most didn't cause much trouble being afraid of messing their immaculate (duck's arse) hairstyles.
