Quick question for the youth of America: What the hell?!

What are you teenagers doing with your lives? Because based on all the stories that keep popping up about kids today, you're spending your lives doing really stupid stuff.

Not to say that you're the only age group doing dumb crap, because adults are definitely always making bad decisions. For example, this dude who got a tattoo of the KFC Double Down sandwich.

The reason we're pointing out all the stupid things teenagers have been up to in 2014 is so they have a chance to see the error of their ways and change. Seriously, just look at what's been going on, complete with our own idiot rating system, from "kids will be kids" to "may god have mercy on your soul":
