Criticism.

And, how equipped are young people to hearing critique and feedback? How do you hear feedback differently from friends, family or teachers? Where did you learn your response to constructive criticism or compliments, for that matter?

I think a majority of teenagers don't really handle criticism very well. From what I've experienced, we seem to do the exact opposite. But I think that's because a lot of teenagers see criticism negatively and only negatively. I think when you hear it from friends, it tends to go over better than from family or teachers. I know for me I hate get criticized by my family, it just makes me feel like I'm not worth anything or I'm not good enough. But when my friends do it, its easier to hear because I trust their opinion more and I feel more like they're trying to help rather than just being buttheads.

I'm not sure where I learned my response from.. I suppose from my mother and from watching other people take comments when I was younger. I don't really know...
