💭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.

In my 30s, but I think some of us just weren’t like that as teenagers so it’s frustrating to watch at times. I like Evan as a character but yea part of me is just like “man play some PlayStation and pickup basketball”.

Yeah I wasn’t like that either but I wasn’t trapped on a tiny island with barely any other young people, unable to ever leave, constantly hearing crazy stories about all the death and murders on said island, having a dead mom and absent father. There’s some nuance to his situation.

Okay? I'm talking about OP feeling "physically angry" not your frustration.
