Teenagers - Just anti anything adult?

We had a Halloween party like many people last weekend. One of our friends arrived with their own kids and a few others in tow. Not a problem for us but we ended up with a group of about six or seven girls in their early teens. Naturally they congregated together and stayed away from the rest of us as much as possible. Not a problem either as far as we were concerned. At several points during the evening, they all decided to visit the bathroom at the same time. When I went upstairs I saw the door was open and they were simply taking pictures of each other in their costumes on the mobile phones. When I asked if there was a more scenic location to take photographs other then the bathroom I was told, "PROBABLY NOT". I decided to let it go and turned away to hear the same person ask the other girls, "WHAT'S SCENIC?" I no longer wonder why teenagers have such a bad reputation!
On a more positive note, they were a great audience when I decided to try out some of my new act on them.
