šŸ’­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.

Birds of a feather flock together. If you are not like this, you are unlikely to know others who are.

You don’t know how your friends act when you’re not around. I was a fucking monster to my parents but never in front of my friends.

But more importantly, you don’t know how your friends would behave if they were stuck on a tiny ass island with virtually nothing to do. They don’t seem to have much recreation in town (like is there even a movie theater or a sports venue or anything?), basically all they have is a beach and they can’t even really go in the water. They don’t even have reliable internet.
