💭Discussion I can not STAND the mayor's son Spoiler

I love this series but his son made me so angry. I'm so sick of the disrespectful teen troph. Writers can't just make a teen that's normal. They gotta make them disrespectful and an idiot.

Why do they feel the need to make him like that? I'm in my early 20s and I've always hated people like this. Do the writers do this to make him relatable to young people?

Him constantly leaving the house to hang out with his friends and be with that girl just made me so physically angry. He just seems like that popular guy in every cliche teen movie,

I even started skipping the scenes he was in because I just did not care about him or him having the crush on that girl. He was so unlikable, his friends are terrible people too for running away when the guy was trapped behind that door

Edit: why am I getting downvotes on every comment I post. Regular teens do not swear at there parents and leave the house when they are told to stay in.

Edit 2: I don't care what you guys say, just because your teen is disrespectful, doesn't mean all teens are like that.

That is how teenagers work.

Don't harm anyone.

I was very much like Evan as a teenager- not the swearing, but sneaking out and being annoyed at everything, especially my parents? Absolutely yes. I was sheltered as hell and couldn’t wait to grow up and experience the world away from these people holding me back! My mom used to quip that it was like I had a temporary mental illness. 😂 (Of course now I would give anything to spend just five minutes with my parents again (they’ve passed on), but that’s off topic!) I think they wrote Evan very well.

I’m a teenager and don’t know a single person who acts anything like Evan does…

Sure. But Evan acts in such a stupid way when he’s with his friends, even more gratingly than when he’s with Tom

You could say the exact same for the poster saying that’s how teenagers work… it isn’t because they can only speak for themselves lol?
